I can't wait to see this asshole backtrack if someone bothers to ask whether he'll honor picket lines at the convention.
OTOH, I think I'm sitting out this election now.

Um, Hello? Mass., like most other states that I know of, DOES allow police officers to form unions. (see, I think, Mass. G.L. c.150E). Public employees in Mass do not have the ability to strike. They do, however, have the ability to go out and have themselves a good old informational picket. That is what they are doing here. A strike is not the same as informational picket, and this picket does not violate Mass law.
Crossing an informational picket line is really not the same as crossing a picket line put up during a strike.
