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.

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.
