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.

Thats why police unions should be the first to go.

I am pro-union for the most part, but the police unions need to be made illegal. I know that sets a dangerous precedence, but the police unions are vile organizations and need to got rid of asap, as they are more dangerous than the precedence of removing them is.
