NYPD Arrests Workers During Historic Amazon Strike
From the article: In December 19 thousands of Amazon workers organizing with the Teamsters launched a cascade of unfair practice strikes from coast to coast at the logistics giant.
At the picket line in Queens, New York, police arrested and released Anthony Rosario, a Teamsters organizer, and Jogernsyn Cardenas, one of the striking workers, and then threatened mass arrests before breaking the line in two to allow vans through.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but didn't striking become less violent and destructive because we all agreed to gentleman's rules?
Rules the NYPD just broke?
They're forgetting the lessons we all learned in the gilded age.
Kick them out of the afl-cio
Dead Flesh - Bodies Upon Bodies (Deathcore, very topical)
I do believe that that old, traditional folk song applies here.
Written by the troubadours O'Shea Jackson, Lorenzo Patterson, and Tracy Curry, it goes something like this:
Fuck the police, fuck fuck
Fuck the police, fuck fuck
Fuck the police, fuck the, fuck the
Fuck the police
Oh, workers can you stand it? Oh, tell me how you can Will you be a lousy scab Or will you be a man??
Under the current circumstances they should consult Ice Cube's metal band Bodycount for advice.
Ice T, you mean?
Oops, yes, thank you.
I'd love to see the charge
Resisting arrest. They don't need anything else
Except resting arrest is not a standalone crime. It has been rules many times that resting arrest can only be used if they are resting a legal arrest action.
Now, it doesn't stop cops from using it to remove someone from a location but the resisting arrest charge will always be dropped.
Good to know!
NYPD being corrupt as always.
The cops are class traitors.
Nah, human traitors. Started as slave patrols, never had a redemption.
More likely started as firewatch or night watchmen in Europe
Modern police (at least in America) are much more related to slave catchers than they are town watch.
It’s five to midnight and all’s not well!
But to them, they are rewarded. They get to beat and even kill minorities and poor people without consequences.
That's what happens when (at least) half of the country exclusively gets their news from one corrupt source
That's fair. I cringe every time I hear my firmly-Democrat-voting family try to defend the establishment because they've watched Law & Order for several hours, every week, for at LEAST the last 30 years
Off the fucking pigs, all of them.
Man what's going on with New York police lately
Lately?
