"The police can park where they need to. If they wanted to park upside down, inside out, or on top of a building, that would be acceptable."

    That’s because they’re not unions in the traditional sense, they’re rackets. From overtime schemes to protecting criminal cops, police unions are not trade-unions. It’s gross.

      How is that any different from construction or longshoremen unions? Both also with deep ties to organized crime, acting as a parasite on the economy.

        One of them also acts as a parasite for the public’s safety.
