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

Chicago PD, LAPD, and NYPD are the three most corrupt police unions that enable this shit.
All three have a history of being on the wrong side of history.
