Yeah, I wasn't saying they were good for society. But they do seem to be good for individual police officers.

Yes, the downside for the average person is that they cannot get any of those jobs because the union only hires via corruption or nepotism

Their “customers” deal with monopoly, that you’ll be imprisoned for life or killed if you’d like to challenge it.

There’s 0 value in comparing police to tech workers.

It's a little more nuanced than that. The point was that a union doesn't necessarily need to please the company/agency, so contractual language around project completion, etc, may not be needed. Company pleasing language/rules/etc in a union contract would only be there because the union didn't have leverage for it not to be.
