Video of the cops shutting down our musicians for the crime of entertaining nurses who are spending 16 hours a day on the picket line.

Just yesterday the police were pulling over drivers to harass them if they honked in support of the striking nurses while driving past the picket line.

One of the nurses we spoke to tonight mentioned her son was among one of the drivers who got a ticket for, "excessive noise." Because they honked for the nurses while driving past.

Reminder that we did a similiar event last week that went on for several hours without anyone telling us that people couldn't play music or trying to shut it down.

Luckily our musicians were able to play a few tracks if anyone wants to hear what was so dangerous that it required multiple police officers to come shut down.

While we're at it might be a good time to bring up that the city installed surveillance cameras on public light poles around the hospital as soon as the strike started only to have them removed a week later after Tenet set up their own security system on hospital property.

One of the CTV cameras they set up remains on a lamp posts directly across from the picket line disguised as a utility box that has a one way tinted glass cover which is facing the picket line is only installed on the one lamp post facing the strikers.

@WorcDSA I've organized union picket lines repeatedly in Worcester with the Carpenters. We almost always have drums and whistles. This is crap. Where's my accordion?

@WorcDSA @abby4thepeople I'll play a cartoon for those nurses then....bless them... #LoveCartoonOliverOlover

@WorcDSA @People4Bernie Thread. Always bears reminding how police power is routinely unleashed against employees, incl essential workers on whom we all depend, legitimately organizing to improve conditions where they work, and where people go for health services when they need them.

@WorcDSA Unless they were charging people to attend the event, I would like to know why a person needs a permit to play music?

@WorcDSA Cop unions need to die. Police brutality and murder settlements needs to come directly from the police pension and the individual involved.

@WorcDSA Because ACAD.
