I was hearing a podcast today and the issue of police unions were discussed [View all]

and compared to teachers unions. Teacher unions are vilified, mostly unjustifiably, but it has made the teachers union disown bad apples among their mix.

Where is the usual anger at unions when it comes to cops? why are the unions mollycoddling the bad apples?

Why are people not angry with the leaders of these unions, when we feel no compunction about lashing out at teachers unions?

I feel like these were important and complex issues that the podcast raised, and was wondering what other people thought about it.

FYI: for the most part i support unions.
