The
policeman who killed George Floyd, Derek Chauvin, has been the subject of more
than a dozen complaints and been given several letters of reprimand for the
excessive use of force. The three other cops who stood by and watched have been
disciplined for the same reason. Why haven’t they all been fired?
Because
of the Minneapolis Police Union.
An
article in the June 6 issue of the Wall Street Journal reveals that the
Minneapolis Police Union has successfully prevented all four of the officers
from being fired in the past. Even now, after the death of George Floyd, the
union is gearing up with defense attorneys to save their jobs.
The Chief of Police of the Minneapolis Police Department is black. And the
entire department is racist? Come on! Assign blame where it belongs: the
union.
Any
member of Congress who accepts campaign contributions from unions and acts to
protect them, should be relieved of duty. Better yet, the wretched federal laws
that give unions their power should be repealed.
