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?
That’s why they exist though, they’re to keep the plebs down not protect us.
It’s kinda like asking the state not to state huh?
That’s what the US is all about.
Our Constituon starts off, “We the people…”
People have bastardized these words. It does mean like “we the people” are fed up!
It means we the people, as in, “we the people, without reference to any king or God, form a government among ourselves.”
The idea of people being in charge law and policy by way of democratic representation is asking the state, as we once had led by a king, not to state. That’s the great expirement.
I think that would be hard to implement. Like, what it a picket line got violent and started burning things down? What if someone posed as part of the dispute as a cover to burn things down?
I agree standing against a labor protest is literally undemocratic, but can’t think of a good way to implement that to limit abuse.
The government should just pass a law banning capitalism and then we wouldn’t have to worry about strikes at all, but that’s also never going to happen.
That doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea, just that it’s too extreme by the standards of US politics. Unions here often still need basic protections like the right to strike at all in the first place. Check out the rules against teachers striking in Texas, they’d be banned from public sector work and lose their pensions. The only way they could possibly go on strike is with a vast enough majority to force the state government to repeal those rules.
Texans sure love their “freedom”.
I obviously agree, but you are asking the state to stop allowing itself to be challenged. It’s not gonna happen. It’s the same everywhere.
Ya, even if a law like this was passed, I don’t think it would be followed if things got serious. This implies that the “class war” is a real war, it’s just mostly a cold war, at least for now.

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.
I think you might not realise that what you are proposing to ban is actually the primary purpose of all police forces worldwide. Everything else just keeps them busy collecting revenue in between squashing Labor uprisings.

Yo! I’ve been wrong on the internet twice today. Shit isn’t good. I’m going to bed.
All these replies and I don’t think a single person has mentioned that states regulate police, not the federal government.
