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
Bodies upon bodies
This is how the violence starts
Bodies upon bodies
With non-peaceful protests
Dead Flesh - Bodies Upon Bodies (Deathcore, very topical)
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 police
Oh, workers can you stand it? Oh, tell me how you can Will you be a lousy scab Or will you be a man??
Coming straight from the underground?
Under the current circumstances they should consult Ice Cube's metal band Bodycount for advice.
Ice T, you mean?
Oops, yes, thank you.
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
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.
Good to know!
NYPD being corrupt as always.
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.
It’s five to midnight and all’s not well!
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
Off the fucking pigs, all of them.
Man what's going on with New York police lately
Lately?
