I’d you are not management you should be in a union no matter your job (yes that includes cops).

Except cop “unions” aren’t labor unions.
Labor unions exist to advocate for fair pay and treatment for workers.
Cop “unions” exist to make sure that cops consistently get away with crimes up to and including murder.
The former is the foundation required for a more just society, whereas the latter is a cancer killing any possibility of it.

Any union can be a problem. On the extreme left, there’s tyranny of unions, and on extreme right, there’s tyranny of oligarchs. There needs to be balanced political leadership.
