Most "heroes" never intend or expect to be, they just act on instinct.

Instinct and valor have nothing to do with groups or unions... it's an individual makeup and can't be mandated!

"Grouping" (or stereotyping, profiling) is part of the problem with the world!

Why is it the LA Unified Teacher's Union has long been a poster child for nepotism, protecting incompetence, protecting criminal behavior, and putting children at risk? The Union Director of LA UNIFIED TEACHERS UNION if I remember this correctly was busted for himself being a pedophile who had sexual congress with not one but four if I got the number right underage boys and girls NOT to mention what was found in his home and car... And IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN, for validity purposes providing drugs to minors was also thrown at him too. It seemed our friend had a thing for partying with the younger crowd.

Then there are the teachers who should have been outright fired for conduct and literally being like Mr. Garrison in South Park. Not all teachers are bad but Unions can and do protect bad workers. Not all of them do. If a Union cannot provide quality labor organizing labor in the first place what business have they BEING A UNION? The people running the Union itself are too damn lazy to do any REAL work?

Now about those nasty politicians? WHO KEEPS VOTING THEM IN? I SURE AIN'T VOTING FOR THEM....

According to the OP, your LA dude would be a hero.
