I'm a pro-unionist, anti-police, and I don't really buy that argument.

All that you need is rule of law, rather than carving out special cases for police unions.

Unfortunately, while all animals are equal under the law, but some animals are more equal[1] then others...

I wouldn't recommend making a special case for _police_ unions.

Unions shouldn't be allow to have management and non-management in the same union. The guy evaluating your performance (police commissioner) should not be allowed to be in the same union regardless of if you are police or tech.
