It’s the union’s role to defend their members. If they’re wrong, they’ll lose. The system works better that way. The union steward isn’t the judge, just part of the process.

Yeah, well, not when it’s your town,

One officer tackled an unarmed Alzheimer’s patient, resulting in a $700,000 settlement. Another was accused of shooting a woman with a Taser and then taunting her. Two others drove a drunken woman home and had sex with her while on duty.

Police administrators fired all the officers, including one who was fired twice.

But many of them are back at work today.

Round these parts, it’s not justice being served.
