I've read the OP and don't see your point. The person in the OP wasn't drunk and unruly in the back of a police car and wasn't shot. So what part of my post do you think is incorrect?
Police unions tend to be very localized. When I was with the local county police, there was a group that tried to unionize for years. They were never able to get a majority of officers who felt it was a good idea.
Some cities have very active police unions, and contracts that require legal representation if charges are brought and a variety of other things as well. However, I think that on a national basis the number of "union shops" in police work is considerably in the minority.
