They don't like being called unions and actual unions don't like it. Unions represent you to your boss. Police brotherhoods or associations represent the entire police department to their funding sources like the city
MapleSyrupMafia
As a union worker, cops SHOULD NOT have any protection... You "fuck up"? You get twice the sentence of a civilian for the same crime.

oh look more evidence of cops being bastards what a fucking shocker. I'm still waiting for a single good cop to come out of the woodwork. as long as shit like this is the standard we can never trust police.

Not nearly as bad as how the cops got the last DA fired because he chose to prosecute a cop who, on his 3rd day, was in a car chase, the guy stopped and started to run away, so the cop opened his window, pulled out this gun and shot the guy in the back. Another cop arrested him. The Police stopped arresting shoplifters and car vandals (I watched them ignore one instance) until the DA got recalled. The new DA dropped charges (and on another cop who was blatantly guilty). I give up on sfpd.

Union or no union how is breaking the law not an automatic disqualification for the hiring process. When I was a financial broker, we used to joke you could kill someone, but if you got caught stealing a wallet no broker lic. for you.
yifin
He's being rehired cuz he wasn't convicted of a crime. The lack of conviction is due to the evidence against him being "lost"

The state, and or feds, need to step in to prevent an arbitrator and police union from making rehire decisions allowing criminals to wear law enforcement badges again.

Unpopular opinion here - labor unions should be as strong as police unions. But if you take that and carry it over to ANY other profession, keeping people who screw up the job seems insane. Airline pilots drinking on the job? No prob, union protection. Restaurant workers not washing their hands? No prob, union protection. Auto workers not tightening bolts to required spec? No prob, union protection. Pharmacists snorting adderall on the job? No prob, union protection.
StephenDaniels
The airlines don't have to fire pilots for drinking. The FAA just revokes their medical certification. There's a path back; but its arduous.
StephenDaniels
btw that's for drinking and driving. Drinking and flying is another matter.
SpiteLip
And yet these same fascist cops will vote for anti-union politicians. Police unions and qualified immunity need to be scrapped. the experiment didn't work, it just created a haven for power-hungry sadists, abusers, and want to be vigilantes to thrive.
eromitlab
The anti-union politicians make sure to protect cop unions. Got to keep the shock troops rolling around in mud and feeling superior to civilians.
Illithidbane
So the experiment DID work as intended. It protected the sadists and abusers. That was the point, right?
heartlessninja6
I only have three-fifths of an opinion in this.

Those same anti union politicians use them as private security and give them a license to kill. Why wouldn't they vote that way?

Republicans frequently put carve outs in their anti-union laws for police and firefighter unions. Wisconsin from a decade ago jumps to mind in particular. Cops don't care because they're actively protected regardless.
IPoisonedDorcasMutton
Because police "unions" aren't actual unions, we just call them that. Generally they're actually "fraternal orders." Real unions don't allow management to join them.

Jail them all. They'll rat each other out.

We all know the answer already, but the question that needs to be asked anyway is: why didn't they get charged with serious crimes for destroying evidence? Destruction of evidence isn't some minor detail, it's a huge problem that undermines that core of proper application of justice.
TacoPoweredHelicopter
Somehow the evidence of them destroying the evidence got destroyed......
Tardis1217
The proper application of justice? These are police officers. The law doesn't apply to them so long as Republicans exist in our government anywhere. Remember "qualified immunity"?

This is called spoliation of evidence, and if anyone else did it, they WOULD. At very least, the judge could order the jury to assume the missing evidence was damning when making their verdict.

That entire precinct should have been firebombed.

union is only a union when you're repersented to your boss, not the entire department to the funding source that a lobbyist orgnizations
eromitlab
Give police the same toothless union that Kroger employees have. Make those motherfuckers unhappy and unprotected from the whims of the higher ups.
flarflarf
most police "unions" are not unions at all, they're typically more like fraternal organizations or mutual aid societies. If you have management in your union or you cross picket lines of other unions, you're not really in a union.
ontarioOT
Closer to the mafia, imo.
expectnothingstillletdown
Considering that police are essentially a street gang, an apt comparison.
flarflarf
"mutual aid societies" are typically how the mafia presented their financial activities to the law, yes.

"Though Neu was criminally charged by former District Attorney George Gascón in 2016 with 17 criminal counts, these charges were dropped after the Sheriff’s Office allegedly destroyed evidence in the case; in one instance an investigator’s laptop was smashed with a hammer due to a virus." I'm not a computer guy, but I think there might be a better way to deal with a computer virus. Also, there are these things called back-up files...
PolitiCat
Anyone involved with this coverup should get the business end of the hammer to the face

As long as the hard drive is intact, then it's possible. Just say you'll take it with you and you can extract it and see what's recoverable.
atomfixes101
I’m not a cop, but destruction of evidence is a crime you can easily charge people with. Why are we allowing them to do this?
Bhargo
how this doesnt lead to whoever destroyed the laptop being charged with destruction of evidence is a fucking mystery
StephenDaniels
The rules of evidence for getting to keep your job as a cop vs being convicted of a crime shouldn't be the same.
TorvicEsSanta
It's possible that a virus could corrupt backups if they were improperly secured, but impossible that a hammer is going to fix that issue.
mrthewhitee
I would wager all I have that there never was a virus and no one backed up the incriminating evidence.
TorvicEsSanta
I also believe this wholeheartedly
SecondSince
Destroying evidence should be an automatic 20 year sentence!

Lose your license to carry a gun, and no pensions for bad cops.
