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.
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
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.
Man what’s going on with New York police lately
Lately?
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 policeOh, 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?
Coming straight from the underground?
NYPD being corrupt as always.
The cops are class traitors.
I don’t get it…
It only makes sense to bootlick if you get rewared for it but some how we got majority of America doing it.
They got woke to the culture wars but never to the class 🤡
Nah, human traitors. Started as slave patrols, never had a redemption.
More likely started as firewatch or night watchmen in Europe
