As someone who advocates for unions. The police unions seems pose quite a hazard for the public these days.

That's because they're not unions in the traditional sense, they're rackets. From overtime schemes to protecting criminal cops, police unions are not trade-unions. It's gross.

How is that any different from construction or longshoremen unions? Both also with deep ties to organized crime, acting as a parasite on the economy.

One of them also acts as a parasite for the public's safety.
