  Never forget the time cops rolled Ammon Bundy out of a courthouse in an office chair.
context: Rookie. You can never justify dragging, just shooting. >
  
  First thing they teach cadets at the academy. >
  
  This crazy cus ive seen cops not fired for doing worse lol >
  
  It's unlikely that he was a model employee for 6 years and then got fired for this one misdeed. It is more likely that he has a history of issues and this was the straw that broke the camel's back. >
  
  nah, this mistake was just too public. The only thing they care about more than that blue line is bad PR. They cant really spin this so they let him go for the PD down the road to hire him. >
  
  They are not worried about extremely public misdeeds. They wanted him gone for sure. >
  
  This is probably accurate.  What he did isn't even that bad.  Person was uncooperative and sort of forced the scenario.  Yeah, I read the article and they are saying "That isn't policy" and that is likely true.  But as the poster(s) before you indicated they get away with much much worse constantly.  They really wanted this guy gone (and the sad thing is.... this doesn't even mean he was a bad cop.  He might have been speaking out against bad cops so they got rid of him at first opportunity). >
  
  Dollars to donuts he gets hired in a nearby county or another department within the year. >
  
  The union gets him his job back with back pay in six months. >
  
  Why do we allow public servants who already individually hold a lot of authority and power to collectively negotiate?
  America hates unions but this is the one time naturally they would make a fucking exception. >
  
  Because all workers should have the right to collective bargaining. There are no exceptions. Police unions have gone too far and need to be kept more in check, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't exist. >
  
  How do you keep them in check without opening the door to all unions being defanged? >
  
  All other unions already are defanged. There's such a vast imbalance that police unions can lose a huge amount of power and other unions can gain it without even meeting in the middle. As for how? I don't know, that's what we have experts for. >
  
  I'm saying I want you to suggest laws that specifically control the police union without obstructing other already beaten down unions. >
  
  Wheelchair in all police cars trunks. Next years standard load out, coming soon.
