This is why police unions are of critical importance. Without police unions, who will ensure that a deputy that hid while school-kids were murdered can be reinstated to his job with full back pay?
This is why police unions are so important: No police officer who was hired specifically to protect citizens should have to suffer a loss of pay just because he hid and failed to lift a finger while 17 people were murdered on a campus he was hired to protect.
America won't be able to claim it's a truly free country until all the police have 100% job security and are fully protected from any retaliation for utterly failing to do their job.

"According to a report by the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Public Safety Commission, which investigated the shootings, Miller was the first supervisor to respond; he arrived as shots were being fired. He hid behind his police cruiser and did not radio in for 10 minutes."

If it wasn't painfully obvious, I'm being sarcastic. Corporations who I feel are working against me, I have the option and right to stop doing business with them. For instance, if Amazon didn't reliably deliver to me the things I paid for, I would stop doing business with them.
Citizens literally pay the salaries of police. When the police unions make it possible for us to continue to be forced to pay those salaries while the job we are paying for goes undone, then yes I'm pissed.
A big part of why police can murder people in their beds and face little in the way of consequences is police unions.
If I was disappointed about the way Amazon treated me as a customer, I can tell them to fuck off. On the other hand, if I told the cops to fuck off, I'd probably get beaten or something much worse.
I can point to the myriads of ways in which companies have enriched my life by making available everything from groceries, to medicines, to books, the computer I am typing on right now.
Police unions, not so much.
