NYPD Arrests Workers During Historic Amazon Strike
NYPD Arrests Workers During Historic Amazon Strike
Police cracked down on striking drivers in Queens who blocked deliveries.
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.
Kick them out of the afl-cio

The second arrest was of Anthony Rosario, Teamsters organizer and former UPS driver who was a leader in the 1997 UPS strike.
Rosario says he and the workers were complying with police officers’ demand to let one truck through every two to three minutes. When police began trying to let more trucks through, he says, he “continued to walk, using my right … and you know, they just decided to arrest me.
I'd love to see the charge
Resisting arrest. They don't need anything else
It's shocking how many people upvoted this incorrect information. You can't ONLY be charged with resisting, you must be charged with an initial crime and then instructed that you're being placed under arrest before you can be charged as having resisted. Cops try to act like it's the opposite probably hundreds of times a day across the US, but it's just one more lie among the rest they tell and it doesn't hold in court.
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 policeOff the fucking pigs, all of them.
NYPD being corrupt as always.
Man what's going on with New York police lately
Lately?
