the other reason is because a ridiculous number of police officers are abusing the disability system ( which they FOP also encourages and facilitates ). Ya see in a normal union world there is “ management “ and more importantly contractual recourse. But in the PPD everyone below the Deputy Commissioner are in the same “ union “. Sweet deal for them, accountable to basically no one but a couple of political appointees that will always be new or soon gone.
AND here’s the best part. The worse it gets the more money the PPD gets

A put-upon Starbucks worker had nothing, a put-upon cop still has a gun and powers of arrest. That’s gotta take some of the sting out of being criticized.

They abuse their powers and you're over here clutching your pearls about how the public speaks out (rightfully so) about it. I shed no tears for them.
"Just take the abuse and be thankful!"

I mean it’s been three hours. How long is a person supposed to wait for this supposed protection.

There is a HUGE difference between the Police Union and Starbucks Union. To start, when the Starbuck Union shows up they are there to fight for pay and equity for the workers. When the Police Union shows up to the same protest, its to protect the business.
The Police Union have the weapons and the power and all they have shown is they care to protect themselves and those in power. They show no solidarity to the people and are widely recognized as not a real working class union.

I don’t disagree with some of your points here but “be nice to us and and we will do better” is kind of silly. There’s a cause-and-effect thing here. It has to work the other way.
