Police unions should rethink their strategy. You can only take so many high profile losses before politicans stop respecting you. Police unions thought they could punish NY state senate democrats over bail reform. Only for dems to gain a supermajority. They thought the rising (gun) crime would make Krasner vulnerable. Only to lose by 30 points.
The playbook police unions sucessfuly used for decades isn't working anymore. The parties have sorted themselves and tough on crime is now rather unpopular in deep blue areas. At some point police unions will have to make a decision. Either change or become irrelevant as a political force in blue areas.
