    Cops: *go on strike*

    Nothing: *changes*

    Bourgeois: “Give them everything they ask for or society will collapse!”

    Yeah, police are the enforcement tools of the owner class, designated extra privileges to give them the impression that they’re somehow distinct from the proletariat. They’d have too much power even without unions. Listen to politicians who urge corrupt cops to stay on payroll because of literally getting the “rotten apple” metaphor backwards. I’m not really sure how you can judge some unions good or bad, when ACAB is a fact. Just, get rid of the police and leave this hypothetical to historians.
