Thinking about how the U.S. should have a constitutional amendment banning state forces (e.g. police) from being used in labor disputes. (lemm.ee)

One of the primary purposes of the police is to be able to break labor uprisings. This is so wrong and should be prevented in the strongest way possible. What do you all think? Is the U.S. constitution able to restrict police?

People from outside the U.S., what do you think of this type of idea?

This feels like one of those ideas that sounds good at first glance but hasn’t actually been thought out.

If police cannot interfere in labor disputes does that imply people are allowed to do anything as long as they call it a labor dispute? What’s stopping people from rioting, stealing, and harming innocent civilians as long as they say they’re protesting for better working conditions?

Ah ya, I never said I thought it out. I literally thought of it watching a yt video minutes before and posted for people's opinions.
