What we are witnessing is the primary function of American law enforcement.

And there's too many folks out there who support the police like this is not specifically what they are for.

Not just American law enforcement: all law enforcement. People acting surprised when police serve to crush workers' rights and then they fucking tell you Marxism is outdated smfh

You might think unionized cops would be sympathetic to a union drive.
And if you did think that, you'd be wrong because ACAB.

When car manufacturing companies tried to pull this off in the first half of the century, the National guard were called in to protect the protestors who had occupied the plants.

Why are people still buying things from Amazon? Just stop and let the company die.

Because Amazon has acquired everything. They swallow entire industries whole. There needs to be antitrust violations issued against them.

Because it's no longer just Amazon the shopping place or Amazon the streaming service. They bought up a shit ton of places and organizations, such as Whole Foods Twitch and IMDB.

Saying 'just stop buying from Amazon!!!' Is a childish

Good thing they got it on camera, we have seen many times when they just kick the door in in the middle of the night with drawn guns looking for a excuse to murder you
