"Write a Check for $11,000. She Was 26, She Had Limited Value." [Seattle Police] Officer Jokes with Police Union Leader About Killing of Pedestrian by Fellow Cop
publicola.com
In a conversation with Mike Solan, the head of the Seattle Police Officers’ Guild, Seattle Police Department officer and SPOG vice president Daniel Auderer minimized the killing of 23-year-old student Jaahnavi Kandula by police officer Kevin Dave and joked that she had “limited value” as a “regular person” who was only 26 years old.
...
In fact, as we reported exclusively, Dave was driving 74 miles an hour in a 25 mile per hour zone and struck Kandula while she was attempting to cross the street in a marked and well-lighted crosswalk.

How is it police unions seemingly have more power than any other union? The writers are striking and that's barely doing anything for them but the pigs? They just have to bat an eyelash and get what they want...
Because regular unions are there to safeguard the worker's rights against abuse from employers.
Police unions are there to safeguard cops from facing discipline for murdering people.
Plus they don't send the Pinkertons to bash people's skulls in when it's cops on the picket line.
And let's not forget that law enforcement has been the primary tool of unionbusting from day 1.
Because they’re class traitors that enforce the rules of the status quo.
They're massive for a start. Police have something like 60% Union membership. Compare that IT and service industries which are in the area of 3-6%. That gives them serious clout for lobbying legislation and anything else.
Unions are effective. Sadly this one i just happens to be working for a rotten gang.
Interesting. I guess I didn't realize some industries that appear to only hire union actually hire both union and non.
AFAIK spd still reports overtime on paper forms, often long after the work was done.

SPOG is a stain on this city. They protect the worst and leave decent cops out to hang.
Because they have guns and apparently the ability to use them indiscriminately.
