Police abolitionists are the future of Democratic Party. Either join Trump now or learn to enjoy anarchy.

They are the one case where I think they should be busted.  Anybody capable and permitted to use deadly force on the job should be barred from unionizing.

Calvin Coolidge was wrong on this point as governor of Massachusetts a hundred years ago, and it's wrong now

Just because you don't support the most corrupt and, tbh, objectively most terrible police department in the country doesn't mean that you hate the concept of law enforcement. Neither does thinking that police officers should be held accountable when they shoot unarmed people (especially, but by no means exclusively, when there's effing video of their wrongdoing).

I hate this attitude in America where if anyone makes any kind of critical comment against the military or law enforcement they're some kind of freedom-hating un-American scum. Police are not perfect and pretending they are helps no one.

See, this is the thing: I agree with everything you just said, all up and down the deck. It's when edgy, white-as-mayo self-identified socialists like PU and IJ start running their mouths to the complete opposite extreme - about an issue that doesn't even begin to personally affect them in their little lily-white bubbles, no less - that I start to have a problem.

We don't solve legitimate issues by making ourselves sound like Donald F**king Trump, and police brutality and corruption is a direly legitimate issue.

We should definitely outlaw police unions. We should also outlaw teachers unions and all public sector employee unions. Government workers are already paid very well compared to the general public. They should not have the right to hold the state and the people hostage with the threat of withholding vital services.

You can just ban the strikes, rather than the unions themselves. I agree that public employees should not have the right to strike in most cases.

No need to abolish the police. Let's just finally be able to hold them accountable, and stop giving them a free pass for their abuse of power.

All I'll say to this is that (1) you seem pretty unhinged, and (2) you don't know anything about me, my background, or my experiences with law enforcement. Reassess yourself.
