It is insane that somehow we managed to import the toxic police union culture from America.

It makes sense to make sure police officers aren’t forced into bankruptcy while charges are pending but ideally we’d rely on EI and social insurance for that.

Better yet, would be to leave it up to the union to provide suspension pay in the same way that many unions have strike funds to help their members survive strikes and lockouts.

I bet it wouldn’t take long for the unions to drop their support of these criminals. That, in turn, would make it easier to fire them.
