Star Member mopinko (53,570 posts)https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212392041**** 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. /rant

Star Member mopinko (53,570 posts) 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
Mopinko, the weeping neckbeard Omaha Steve Dawes would like a word with you. That would be a hell of a conversation, so much stupid in one place.
Ted Kennedy is the only person with an actual confirmed kill in the war on women.
