Good it should, and I hope we start seeing this more in labor law outside of when the government is going after people who literally attacked it. Something tells me this is just more police privilege than it is labor issue though which is unfortunate.

I'd like to see somebody prosecuted for murder or manslaughter as a result of that woman who owned the newspaper in Arkansas (?) who was 98 years old and died from the stress of the illegal raid.

Kansas. Drop the “Ark”. The police are bad like the rest of the country but at least there’s not as much cousin-marriage.

Thank you. I admit the similarity of the names makes it hard for me to remember which news stories come from where.

It sets an important precedent.

Good luck, Amazon.
