A friendly May Day reminder that cops aren’t workers and never have been. Their continued inclusion in our unions (and of police “unions” within the @aflcio.bsky.social) remains a stain on the entire labor movement. They’re just bosses with a license to kill www.teenvogue.com/story/what-t...
I've been saying for years that Cops are just government Sanctioned Gangsters. they use many of the same tactics Gangsters use, the same mindsets, the same disregard for actual order. the only difference between a Gangster and an American Cop is Government recognition.
US elites (capitalists) have a managed labor movement that is more white guy & more Right Wing than the workforce generally.
There are a bunch of techniques that go into this, but many of the details are "out in the open".
Yeah. The union that still has the power and resources to call me at my home and shake me down for donations when I don't even belong to it is not the same as the other unions.
