Who said anything about Police unions? They're a small fraction of all unions. The comment connected unions, in this case the Boston Firefighters, to "conservative nonsense."
You can disagree with their stance on a vaccine mandate during the pandemic (and I do), but there's no need to misrepresent the situation of vilify them for fighting for their member's right to collectively bargain changes. There's quite a bit of irony in calling that conservative.

If the tree was rotted and they were notified then yes, they will.

What isnt true? OP implied they contacted the owner of said tree about the tree being rotted. I told them to document everything and contact their own insurance company regarding the damages. Their insurance company will investigate and go after the neighbor's insurance company if they think they're liable.

Exactly this. Take pictures and document everything and give it to the person assigned to handle your claim. Your neighbors insurance will most likely have to cover it.

Go to the nearest fire station, they'll do it for free, or they will have EMS come to assist. The tool they use makes a clean cut thats easy for a jeweler to repair without being noticeable.

I'm not talking about vilifying police, Im talking about vilifying unions in general. Of which police make up a small percentage. This thread is about all municipal employees, not just police.
If you bothered to look into the situation more than just commenting on reddit you would understand that the lawsuit wasnt even about the vaccine. It was about whether or not the vaccine could be mandated by the employer without collectively bargaining the change. The irony is that it's far more conservative to enforce a policy like this without collectively bargaining it than it is liberal.
Ultimately, the Courts sided with Mayor Wu. Practically, it makes no difference because the mandate was never enforced due to a previous injunction and a new agreement was made between the two sides. But, police bad for all the updootz you want.
