This is a bad faith argument. Not all government employees have the ability to do violence directly on others in the name of the state.

- lukas099 4y ago> A labor union exists to enage in mediated conflict with the employers of its members. The employers of police are the citizens they're supposed to be serving. From there, it's pretty clear that police unions and citizens are at odds, basically by definition. This quote says nothing about violence, and it's what they were responding to, so no it wasn't a bad faith argument.
- stonogo 4y agoThe quote is selective, and leaves out the part about qualified immunity, which is absolutely police protection from the consequences of violence.
