If you find this picture appalling don't be angry with the workers who are exercising their right to strike. Do not be angry at Walmart for not caving to their demands immediately. The object of your anger should be the municipality that dispatched this brigade of storm trooper to meddle in a private labor dispute and the imbecile chief of police who allows his officer to intimidate innocent strikers.
In bygone days strikes lasted month and sometimes years. The United Mine Workers, the United Automobile Workers, the United Steelworkers, and the Railroad Brotherhoods had it well within their power to inflict damage on the entire economy. Aside from federal mediation services and court injunctions governments, both local and federal, let strikes run their course. That is the way a free county operates.
