[Vision2020] love for police

[Tom Ivie]

I like the way everyone professes their gratitude to the police now but not when the police wanted to do something "radical" like unionizing. It amazes me to hear some of the same people say that they love the police when they or groups they associate with actively worked to squash the Police Union.
         To my knowledge, the police don’t usually ask for a lot.  I never hear them complain. Yet, the one time they speak up about something they do want, we shut them down. Maybe the issues they wanted a union for have been resolved, I don’t know.  
 
 It just strikes a nerve with me to hear “we love them so much” out of one side of the mouth and “no union for you” out of the other side.  They give and we take?  Why can’t they give and we give back to them.  Is the love for the police and hate (by some) for their unionization a mutually exclusive bipartition dichotomy or a logical fallacy?  Discussion?
