Single biggest problem is the unionization of government employees. Unions have a legitimate role to counter monopolistic abuse by employers, but have zero value to society when they organize against a representative community government. The police profession attracts community servants and law-and-order types, but also attracts sadists and tyrants. The unions prevent the bad ones from being weeded out, so they grow like a cancer and eventually take over.

Our local police voted to get rid of the Union. It's a small town but they've only been unionized a short time.
Good for you! They're hard to get rid of.
