Okay, conservatives control the unions. That's what you're going with? And also the unions are more powerful than the legislature.
Alternative hypothesis. The executive and legislative branches of government in these areas have completely screwed up law enforcement over the last few years but successfully ran a scapegoat campaign to blame the police.
- etchalon 5y agoThe unions are absolutely more powerful than the executive. That's true of basically every government union. Teacher, cops, road workers, etc. Not just functionally, but politically. Your hypothesis would have to be based on some type of facts. HOW did those branches screw up policing? What policies did they enact that changed the shape of policing in their cities, and how did those changes "screw things up". Keeping in mind that crime rates, even today, are at historic lows.
