Reminder this already happened in Houston Dallas in 2016. A sniper in a parking garage fired on some cops watching a protest, and they ended up strapping a bomb to a robot and driving it around a corner to the sniper’s position, then detonating it to kill him.
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.
A union is supposed to protect the workers from their bosses. A police union protects the workers from the public.
A restaurant workers union has your back when your boss tries to screw you out of overtime pay, not when you beat a customer unconscious with a serving tray.
