Probably some other grounds there, too, seeing as, unlike a shop that can choose who to admit or serve, I’m not sure a public service gets that privilege.
“Yeah, they stopped me reporting the dead body / giving myself up / coming forward as a witness to this heinous crime merely because I was wearing a mask.”

So now we’re at a point where the police can’t cover their faces to stop a pandemic but can cover their badge numbers to stop an investigation.

Like those that still worship at the alter of trump, the same people (mostly) have made up their minds about the pandemic and wearing masks. Until thousands of children are dead or end up with a life long debilitation from COVID because of unrestricted school openings, nothing will change. And even then I have no faith at this point that reason and logic will overcome irrational fear and willful ignorance.

The fine folks down in Ocala, Fl know that the most important part of safety is appearance. This is why the sheriff’s next order was to prevent locking of doors so that everyone would know that there was no danger of burglary. Also seatbelts will not be allowed, lest people fear that there is a danger of crash. Once we have all become sufficiently blind to the dangers, they go away. Thats just common sense

“In addition, 43 sheriff’s office employees and more than 200 inmates at the Marion County Jail have tested positive for the coronavirus so far.”
I’m surprised they’re not doing more to make sure the inmates stay alive. After all, that’s their source of income.

So I read this story because frankly I was shocked that the public office sworn to serve and PROTECT the public would rather put them at risk and one is the main reasons he’s doing this is because he’s b*TT hurt about police backlash. Our public servants folks

Good point. It would have to actually be their children to matter because screw everyone else.

I’m happy to see you trying to help abolish cops, Mr Woods, but there are probably safer ways to go about it.

Officer, I believe you’ll find that for every so-called “expert” who believes drunk driving is dangerous, you’ll find an equal number who have found that a few cocktails improves performance. Here’s some literature from the Dewars Institute you may find interesting.
