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.

      Definitely not always and a court appointed one will do, but yeah, this is another case where cops can arbitrarily ruin people’s lives and livelihoods.
