Plenty of red meat, including lots of links, for anyone who doesn’t like the direction things are going.
What caught my eye was the purported link between police union contracts and overzealous police tactics. I hadn’t seen that before and wonder if the LEO’s agree?
“Another important factor is police unions; Steven Greenhouse has pointed to two studies, one at Oxford, which found that, in the 100 largest American cities, the strength of protections in police contracts directly correlated with abuses against citizens, and one at the University of Chicago, which found that allowing Florida sheriffs’ deputies to unionize led to a 40 percent increase in reports of violent misconduct. These numbers should not come as a surprise. Public-sector unions protect mediocrity and promote interests incompatible with the general welfare. There’s a reason why the military is not permitted to unionize.”

As the Left tries to avoid responsibility for its own mistakes, many Americans see the progressive narrative about guns and crime for the charade that it is.
