“To repeat for the 1000th time: Democrat/Leftists always — always overreach ... until such time as normal people realize what is going on and stop listening and stop obeying every new dictate.”

The City of Laredo Tx has an ordinance saying you can be arrested and/or ticketed for not wearing a mask in public. Or even up to 180 days in jail.

And the Republican governor seems to have no problem with it.

So I guess if somebody gets tired of complying they could take on the city cops, the county sheriff, the Rangers and associated state police and the Texas National Guard.

Or they could admit that would be a stupid idea.

The dictate by the city's petty tyrant is limited in scope:
The ordinance also requires residents age 5 and older to wear "some form" of covering over their nose and mouth when entering public buildings, using public transportation, taxis and ride shares and pumping gas. Coverings can include a homemade mask, scarf, bandana or handkerchief

The city's "emergency ordinance" does not specify that a "mask" must be worn only that a mask is included in the definition of an acceptable "covering" (the members of the Laredo city council left out "burka" and are therefore obviously a bunch of racists!)

So I agree with you that "tak[ing] on the city cops" wouldn't be prudent. As it is a city ordinance I don't know what "the county sheriff, the Rangers and associated police and the Texas National Guard" have to do with the petty tyrants' fiat ... and likely don't want anything to do with it. This limitation also explains why the Republican governor doesn't want anything to do with the mayor's and city council's totalitarian wet dream.

The point of my original post is that this schumer will continue and will continue to grow in scope until it is successfully challenged. Cheers!
