That is the union’s job. Just like defense attorneys fight against guilty verdicts for even blatant murderers, the union is representing a union member.
The police dept is already loathe to hold officers accountable, we don’t need a whole ass union protecting cops from people who already don’t want to hurt them.
So you’ve never been in a union that fights for workers to get better pay, reasonable hours, and decent healthcare? I’ve had unions at two jobs and they fought hard to make sure workers were treated fairly. Football players have a union. Many service workers have a union. Unions are not a bad thing.
A union doesn’t always fight for a union members job. The union will have a contract and if the union member violates the contract or puts the union in a bad light or weakens it’s position to fight for it’s members as a whole it can absolutely not support them.
A union should be prouder than this. They should want to have better member and other union members shouldnt want to be in an organization with someone who gives them a bad name.
The union is already fighting it.

Annnnd that’s why cops shouldn’t have unions.

Unions are not a bad thing, rightwing unions however betray all other unions and undermine the entire system.
