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.

This is a class war and NYPD was always playing for the team parasite.

Bodies upon bodies
This is how the violence starts
Bodies upon bodies
With non-peaceful protests
