**** the nypd union.

we have come to a pass where it is just assumed that interested parties are going to see clear cut events in a completely different light. are going to have separate realities.
this is why we are where we are.

the talking heads assumed the union was going to scream bloody murder here.

and so they did.
and it made me sick.

if they believed in laws and rules and due process and justice, they would have made a temperate statement of support for their brother, but an acceptance that justice has been served.

i cannot imagine any universe in which a person makes a fatal error on the job, and gets to stay on the job for 5 ****ING YEARS while the process plays out.
y'all did your jobs, brothers.
you got your brother every drop of fairness, and then some.

pat yourself on the back for seeing that the system works, and accept the god damn outcome.

2. The only unions that the rethulicans appear to support

are the police unions....well, perhaps other 1st responder unions as well, like Fire Fighters. Other than that, in rethuglican eyes, all other unions are bad....why is that?

5. the saddest thing, to me, a former union carpenter,

is that we, back in that long ago day, stood on the promise that we vouched for the skills and training of our members.
back in that day, we policed our own. maybe the guy w the flask in his lunchbox would get work, but he was the last guy at the hall to go out.
sooner or later, guys like that moved on.
not perfect, of course, and tie went to the brother.

and i cannot imagine, in a million years, a construction worker who caused an accident that cost someone's life and having my union coming out and screaming, i mean screaming, that firing that person was an injustice.

Speculating semi-wildly ... I saw that NYPD fired the officer who used a chokehold when Eric Garner resisted arrest ... did the union speak out in defense of the officer?

yup

DU-folk are pretty predictable. Most of the time when they start popping off hysterically like this it's something good that they hate. I don't love that Garner is dead, but once he started resisting he forced on the officer a choice between making the arrest or giving in, which would encourage others to resist. As for his supposed asthma, Garner assumed the risk of that acting up and the police officer not recognizing it in time when Garner decided to resist arrest.

But if a teachers union protects a pedophile they will scream their silence.
