They buy bullets. I shit you not. Apparently, practice rounds are a big expense for law enforcement, so many of these organizations buy practice rounds for cops to keep themselves in practice. They also buy bullet-proof vests.

The traditional unions also step in and defend police when they are charged with misconduct, plus the usual collective bargaining and lobbying. The firm the floor above me is on retainer to the local police union, and they do a lot of disciplinary hearings, civil rights violations defense, and criminal defense for cops, as well as a surprisingly large spin-off business of cop divorces.

Do unions actually solicit funds from the public? Interesting.
