There's a severe financial side to it all as well... The city budget funds the police, which funds the union, and they donate their money to the attorney general, mayor, and city council members. Often when they don't get the budget they demand, police will openly retaliate against local businesses and residents who did not support their budget.

I hope this closure impacts the union's finances severely, to the point of putting it on life support. Police unions are the modern day mob, and they are the reason why reform hasn't budged in this country for decades.
