The wingers in congress have also opposed full release of the files, except maybe Massie and green.

I am less familiar with teachers unions, but all unions have some similarities. I am sure it works in much the same way overall. The main difference if that there are large national unions for teachers. The National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) are two of the largest unions in this country. They have millions of members, hundreds of employees, and headquartered in Washington DC. The local chapter of the teachers unions might be operate similarly to the police union, but there is the big national body over top of it. That isn’t the case for police unions. This isn’t true of the DC MPD because they are in DC, but let’s use the Minneapolis MPD as an example. The rank and file are represented by the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis (POFM) and there is no national office in DC with hundreds of full time employees to answer to. The POFM is run by a board of directors that are 10 police officers from the MPD voted for by the membership which are all MPD officers. They might have like 10 employees. So if the POFM is corrupt there is no national organization in DC with hundreds of employees and leaders elected by millions of teachers across the country to blame. It’s all Minneapolis police offices and a handful or two of admin staff and lawyers employed directly by them.

Trip said Trump is against it. Reference or quote the CNN article where it said this unnamed official said Trump is against it.

When it comes to cops, it's worse than the movies.

Yeah, but could you imagine the theatrics Nicky Pushups could give us with him in RAF? Handsome Tuesdays would be off the charts.

More made up BS. Weren't you one of the posters on here saying things aren't like you see in the movies?

CNN may be "biased" or whatever the wingers think but they do actually have standards. Not gonna take statement from a janitor and as big and fat of a mouth Trump has, he'd address it if he disagreed.

If the journalist didn't get a name then how can he publish a direct quote and know it was "official?"

What if he removes his tattoos?

Obviously didn't want to give his name. Ask Trump.

Then who is the "official?"

We saw this last year. Fix, who didn't perform that well the following round against Gillman, beat him soundly.

Mizzou- you’d have to think that’s imminent.

It's all over the media. He would definitely address a,"fake statement."

While I agree with your predictions for the most part, now I am very concerned about the infamous @shiraz321 jinx!!

Trump doesnt respond to every stupid post on these forums. Don't be an idiot.

If I said something wrong about company x. As an official of company x. Will the ceo always denounce it publically? Have you worked for a big company? Don’t say the army as a grunt you didn’t have access to much.

Then Trump wouod have said something if it didn't represent his view. Don't be dumb.

Could be a janitor for all we know. Would an official white house visitor be considered a white house official?

What literally is a White House official? Like I work for company x. Am I a company x official?

Just use your head, just a little, and think about what happens if that's completely fabricated.

Compare and contrast that to the teachers unions

I’m a White House official for all we know of the source isn’t cited. Actually for the record. I may be a White House official

Union reps are police officers in the department that were voted into position by officers in the department. To the extent they are paid for their union responsibilities that comes from the union dues paid by officers. If there is corruption in police unions the blame for that must fall on the officers - the union leadership and its members. If you have an example of a police union that operates with non-police officers as labor representatives please provide it. I think you are either mostly wrong in the most police unions operate differently than you think (police officers are the union reps and leadership selected by police officers) or you are confusing the union rep with a lawyer that might be employed by the union or paid for by the union to advise or represent an officer in a particular legal matter.

On campus, correct?
