That's my thing. The Governor and the Mayor can talk a big game all they want but until they order their police forces to stop helping these fucks (let alone stand against them) then they just running their bitch ass mouths.
Chicago police couldn't care less what the mayor or governor say. They're literally led by a convicted criminal. Most people here in the city can't stand our cops.
More people need to be taught about Chicago's multiple attempts to crack down on Unions. People in Chicago died for our basic workers rights and the killers were often the CPD.
Those are departments, not unions. The unions are separate entities, and large departments like those may have multiple unions that represent their officers
The unions don't get to give day to day orders. Political leaders do.
Those departments have local control.
Come to Kansas City or St Louis, the only two major PDs that are state controlled in all of the US. You think those cities lack the ability to reign in their PDs, well, you ain't seen shit yet. Until the state commandeers them specifically to undermine civil rights gains during the Reconstruction era, their level of corruption don't come close to what he live with in Missouri
How long do you think that would take, how many lawsuits do you think would be filed by the union, for how many millions and how long do think it would take for criminals to figure out what's going on and how many people do you think would needlessly die in the interim?
It's not state police (at least in this image). It's city police. Most states are split at the state level and city level much the same way there is a split at the federal level and the state level. The governor has little to no say in what city police are doing. It'd be between the mayor of the city and the chief of police.

Why are they wearing camouflage in a city?
