Do we still have to keep calling their gangs, “unions”? Clearly they have zero interest in class solidarity, and have only reinforced the reality that they exist to protect capital.
They have interest in class solidarity in the sense that they have set themselves in a class separate from the majority of the people, and they experience significant solidarity within that class.
But their insular “solidarity” is a shadow of what they could experience if they didn’t throw their communities under the bus to appease capital. I find it quite sad, in a way, because capital cares about police officers no more than it cares about me; capital considers them a resource to be exploited, just as it does me. We should be on the same side, but alas.
