And law enforcement keep the politicians in their hip pockets. How else could police unions ever negotiate such employment contracts? In the real world these contracts would be a laughing matter.

Ask Bill de Basio how he feels about his PD. In a private industry they would all be shit canned for insubordination. But can he? I will bet that the entire police force in this country will go on strike regardless what is stipulated on their contracts.
