A grand jury has indicted two former Uvalde school police officers in the botched law enforcement response to the 2022 mass shooting at Robb Elementary school that left 19 children and two teachers dead, two Texas state government sources with knowledge of the indictment told CNN Thursday.
Unions should always back the due process rights of their members…
Of all the things to shit on Police Unions for, this one actually requires a conviction to be valid.
Until then, it is every union’s moral and ethic obligation to support their members as they go through the legal process.
That’s not what’s being talked about and you know it.
Unions are supposed to protect the powerless.
From my perspective, the police union wouldn’t be especially different from a corporate executives’ union.
If all unions were equal, then sure. But many are corrupted or are run by corrupt people.
I wouldn’t say many of them are corrupt, I don’t think that’s fair. I think it’s anti-union propaganda that’s been spread
Some are though… And if you were to pick one example head and shoulders above all others, the police union definitely comes to mind
I’m not doubting this but I wonder if there is any data to support this claim.
As it would be good ammunition to counter the anti-union rhetoric.
