I'm pretty sure it's a show of force / show of everyone in the department is behind them sort of thing. Typical PR tactic. Same goes for someone caught cheating or a company doing something wrong.

exactly this 'the thin blue line' "works" because they pretend it does. Then the sole example of a bad union in the US whines and cries to make sure they are never held accountable for anything up to and including murder. Keep in mind when George Floyd was murdered he wasn't even the only police murder caught on camera in the press. He was just the only victim to receive some justice

Saying the police union is the “sole example of a bad union” is just dishonest.
They’re probably the worst sure, but plenty of unions are corrupt.
