> public unions should be your enemy #1... The union would find itself facing opposition from both liberals and conservatives (for different reasons)

I wish there was more discussion about this sort of thing. My pet hypothesis is that nobody holds police unions accountable because conservatives like police and liberals like unions. It's hard to even find discussion about the actual extent of police union influence, much less how bad the effects may or may not be and what should be done about it.
