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 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.

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 🤡

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

Bootlickers are heavy on both sides...

But sure the red is more likely to bootlick due to daddy worship ideology

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
