    A union of guys who are paid to break up protests and strikes doesn’t really count as a union, especially when they have guns but most of the elected officials don’t.

      It’s a union - and an extremely powerful one at that. You can wish and hope all you want that it isn’t, but it is and shows just the kind of corruption and bullshit unions can be.

        A union of seamstresses is not going to be able to hold the city hostage. Hell, even when Hoffa was running the teamsters–The most infamous example of union corruption in history–he couldn’t get a clause in the contract where a guy who killed a guy on the job got to keep his job.

        The FOP is not indicative of unions in general.
