Oh, i lost the thread where the police and army were discussed and the issue of uneven political consciousness so i have to start a new topicbut Janet has just posted on the blog a relevant article of police striking in Portugal. Workers in uniform, indeed.

(if somebody remembers the original thread, perhaps they can link to it)
There was a police strike in Ecuadorhttp://www.travelweekly.com/South-America-Travel/Ecuador-police-strike-closes-roads,-airports/ It looks like any other workers strike, or a student revolt, but according to the left wingers it was a counter-revolutionary act. Is there a revolution in Ecuador in order to speak about counter-revolution ?
Isn't the Plebgate affair of relevance here as it shows that the police do not necessarily like their political masters? This was over a "trade union" issue of their terms of employment. My guess is that he did call the police plebs (as that's how leading Tories are brought up to think of people who don't come from their class) but knows that nobody can prove it. He protests too much.
Even if it wasn't true…he now knows what many working class learn from experience about being fitted up by the police!!!
Yet another story of police striking. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-25230743
There was also a police strike in Bolivia in 2012 which lasted more than 7 days
