The cops sure look better when social workers are sent out when someone is trying to kill you.

I guess some things never change.

Quote from: Possum on November 11, 2022, 10:58:24 AMTotally agree on law endorsement elections.  I have never served as a policeman, wanted to but was way to colorblind. How do you feel about the police unions? In my younger days, I was against any public employee being a part of a union. Looking at how policemen are treated today, I have changed my mind. Too much wants to get rid of them.

I have a big problem with unions because they fly in the face of capitalist competition. Unions are a monopoly on labor. If unions were to break up and actually compete with each other, like the guilds of old, and try to offer the best labor at the most competitive price, then they would work and fit right into capitalism.
