j reacts to police strikes as a necessary leftist political tactic

cops are workers, too, and instilling a concept of class consciousness into the force - including fostering a tendency towards work stoppages - is an absolutely essential process for the left.

anything that gets them thinking more in terms of labour conflict and less in terms of a monopoly on force is a net positive.

just about the only thing that i can think of that might actually succeed in reducing racial profiling, for example, would be rank-and-file police officers threatening or implementing a work stoppage over it. at the end of the day, the only way that this will stop is if they stop "just taking orders".
