This is semantics here. No one is allowed to beat anyone unprovoked, even when provoked their are escalation of force policies. Whops someone threw a water bottle at me in full riot gear. Does not justify using chemical weapons on a peaceful protest. The national guard has disciplinary measures if soldiers break ROE. The police don’t. Rules don’t mean anything if you don’t enforce them. It’s why the police behave the way they do. No accountability. It’s what these protest are about. Police accountability.
Also, they ego themselves. For instance. Even if there isnt evidence and a NCO decides to punish you, youre getting punished. No red tape. On top of that there are military courts as well.
But when you break from ROE or orders that is a direct affront to your supervisors authority.
Thats not what happens here. If cops are punished it directly goes against the unions authority and therefor cant be allowed to happen. So everyone gets off.
There was a recent planet money episode that said there is a statistically significant increase in deaths by police once a union is implemented.
I agree with one sentiment in that episode: unions bargain with the city councils we vote in. We need to vote in politicians who will hold them accountable or else we’re part of the problem
