minus-squareNeon 🏳️🌈🇺🇦🇪🇺🏳️⚧️🇹🇼🇮🇱🏳️🌈@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-24 months agoWhy should the police union be held responsible? if a steel-worker breaks a machine, do you also wanna hold the union responsible? no, this was this single specific person. He should be held reliable, noone else. Collective punishment is not a good thing, you know?
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 months agoBecause the unions shield the cops and fund their legal defenses and because that single person is almost never held responsible. Also, I don’t know what you think corporal punishment is, but it isn’t that.
