Perkins, T. (2020, June 23). Revealed: police unions spend millions to influence policy in biggest US cities. The Guardian.

The article discusses how police unions in major US cities, such as Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles, have spent millions of dollars on campaign contributions and lobbying efforts to block police reform measures and elect their preferred candidates. These findings emphasize the need for journalists to be aware of the active and influential role of police and prosecutors in politics, rather than assuming neutrality.
