I would expect the union's lawyer to provide a strong defense, as any defense lawyer would. That is plenty if you are trying to delay the proceedings. The worst case is if the union actively "protested" the charges and had a little case of "blue flu". I think this was a bad shoot and they should fry this guy but I also believe they do not want to rush it, make some technical errors and get the thing thrown out. Nobody wants a surprise, like finding out this guy was an undisclosed schizophrenic or manic depressive, given a government gun and turned loose on the public. The union can do whatever it wishes to do, within the requirements of law. The first year I worked for the NEA, I took a number of teachers unions out on strike at their request. It was illegal, but the penalty at that time was simply to lose two days pay for each day on strike. It was about the only tool the teachers had to force the administrators to negotiate for a new contract. It was an effective tool. The teachers were not looking for anything massive, but the law said there had to be good faith negotiations...and the strikes helped make that happen. Like many righties, you think capital/management is more important than labor. I don't. So now you are saying the union might have some clout in this investigation. Certainly public sector unions are usually barred from striking but you say you defied that law and feel justified in doing it. You just made my case. I am sure there are a significant number of Chicago cops who support their brother, particularly the active union members. The lawyer is on TV right now saying their position is he was in fear for his life. The last thing Chicago needs in this crime wave is the cops refusing to take calls in black neighborhoods because they think they will be prosecuted if things go bad. |
