Why Are Politicians Scared of the Police?

Ever wondered who’s protecting police officers? And how they can get away with so much? Police unions are the answer. They negotiate contracts for their members, meaning officers often don’t face accountability for their actions. And police unions are central to blocking any sort of reform.

Police unions have been pushed into the limelight as the U.S. faces a reckoning over police brutality brought on by the death of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis.

Can police unions be reformed when they’re so politically powerful? Or is it time to abolish them entirely?
