“In NY & elsewhere, a bulk of police unions is institutionally uninterested in sharing civil society on equal terms w/ people who think police are sometimes wrong. Theyre bad-faith actors who’d trade democracy for their brand of authoritarianism any day.” nymag.com/intelligencer/…
“In the course of defending their members in disputes with management — as is required of all labor unions — they embrace a fascistic mode of reflexive defensiveness, insisting on universal deference to law enforcement and shoring it up by threatening their critics.”
On irony of hating de Blasio: “The mayor has declined to abandon “broken windows” policing & overseen a dramatic expansion of NYPD’s gang database. He has also presided over a racist crackdown on commuters by transit police & claimed to be “repulsed” by protesters fighting them.”
