Cops are people too

Defending an employee from serious accusations, or at least making sure that the employee's rights are not violated, would strike me as a perfectly valid use of a union.  But we have gone totally overboard in this country.  There are municipalities in some states that cannot hire new police officers without the consent of the police union, which can hardly make fair decisions if lots of current police officers are champing at the bit to work overtime.

However, when I am the one facing an accusation, I want my union strong, and my defense capable (btw I don't belong to a union--just sayin').

 

Everyone wants a strong defense when they're being accused.  The problem comes when that "defense" is so strong that even clearly unjust actions result in no effective discipline.
