@Orc @bmalsuj @janisf Nope. Public and civilian government absolutely do not play a role of bosses over cops. Cops have a monopoly on violence and will use it against anyone who tries to challenge their power with raids, arrest, ousting from office using propaganda and threats against other parties who can be used to oust them, etc.
@dalias @bmalsuj @janisf You're trying frantically to split straws so you can maintain your belief that unions are a sign of moral purity.
You do you, but perhaps you should consider that it is possible for tools to be used for ill purposes.
