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.

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.
