minus-squareNeon 🏳️🌈🇺🇦🇪🇺🏳️⚧️🇹🇼🇮🇱🏳️🌈@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down1·edit-25 months agoWhy should the police union be held responsible? if a steel-worker breaks a machine, do you also wanna hold the union responsible? no, this was this single specific person. He should be held reliable, noone else. Collective punishment is not a good thing, you know?
