as they are workers too - deserve their O/T for long hours etc. There are certainly systemic issues with police departments but those problems could be worked on if the owners of this country (I mean the real owners - the top 1/10th of the top 1%) had any desire to do so. As far this particular union and their condemnation - they are misplaced. But we also know what they are like in the St. Louis area. We saw Ferguson.
