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?

Oops, yes, thank you.
Man what’s going on with New York police lately
