This is the shocking moment a huge line of police officers were forced to disperse a little girl's birthday party in Los Angeles on Saturday. Footage from the incident taken in the Hyde Park area shows the group of around 40 revelers refusing to comply with social distancing rules. Law enforcement were forced to call for back up as the crowd became 'agitated', a source said. The LAPD said no arrests were made.

Yeah, they choose chaos every time.
no worries, we are having a sweet 16 birthday bash this weekend at our house.
At our local supermarket, only eight people are allowed in at one time, and they have to wear gloves, and hurry up and get out so the next group can come in.
You must be in or near Lakewood, N.J.
Stop signs would fall under the 10th Amendment.
And when they get the disease, WE will be the payers!
The police should be wearing mask. The tear gas mask should filter the virus.
I love the way the photos show no black police officers.
See my #39 and 40.
First Amendment doesn’t guarantee the right to party like it’s 1999. “...peaceably assemble to petition the government for a redress of grievances” is not about birthday parties during an epidemic.
IT SEEMS TO ME, THAT “IT FIGURES.”
Evolution will probably prevail.
In 1793, yellow fever hit Philadelphia, and sailors were quarantined in a hospital outside the city. When typhus landed in New York City in 1892, at least 70 people were quarantined on a nearby island. When an outbreak of SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) moved through Canada in 2003, about 30,000 people in Toronto were quarantined. And during the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa, health workers returning to the United States from affected areas were quarantined.
But to find the origin of the word, we have to look back to mid-14th century Europe.
At the time, the bubonic plague, infamously known as the Black Death, was ripping through the continent. Starting in 1343, the disease wiped out an estimated one-third of Europe’s population during a particularly nasty period of three years between 1347-50. This sweep of the plague resulted in one of the biggest die-offs in human history—and it was an impetus to take action.
Officials in the Venetian-controlled port city of Ragusa (now Dubrovnik, Croatia) passed a law establishing trentino, or a 30-day period of isolation for ships arriving from plague-affected areas. No one from Ragusa was allowed to visit those ships under trentino, and if someone broke the law, they too would be isolated for the mandatory 30 days. The law caught on. Over the next 80 years, Marseilles, Pisa, and various other cities adopted similar measures.
Within a century, cities extended the isolation period from 30 to 40 days, and the term changed from trentino to quarantino—the root of the English word quarantine that we use today.
Learn history before you go spouting off bullshit.
Well I hope LAPD is real proud, ridiculous. Breaking up a party with kids and mostly moms while crimes are being committed. Look, LAPD, it is legal to have a party. The orders shutting everything down and prohibiting well people from interacting is what is illegal.
Along those lines, in Texas, the Governor says he has 98% availability of hospital beds. It sounds like plenty...
That is not true. During the Spanish Flu, public gatherings were routinely cancelled or banned.
Definition of quarantine: “a state, period, or place of isolation in which people or animals that have arrived from elsewhere or been exposed to infectious or contagious disease are placed.”
Please tell me how the term “quarantine” applies to this situation.
As far as I can tell, the response to an infectious disease has never been to imprison the entire population in their homes. That’s probably why the word “quarantine” has no definition on record that applies to this situation.

You are right. You can’t quarantine well people and all these stay at home “orders” carry the weight of suggestion. The folks at the party should get all the cops’ names and badge numbers and file reports against them for overzealousness. (No real damages here so hard to file a lawsuit.)
The officers that it show are slowly advancing in formation while the revelers retreat, cursing at them all the way. No violence on either side, unless they cut that part out.
We’re basically all under National House Arrest
thanks to our population of morons who are too
selfish and/or STOOOOOOOOOPID to do the right thing.
From my #3: “Drop the cake! Drop the ice cream! Do not blow out those candles! No wishing! No birthday smacks! Drop that tail and get up against the donkey! Ask the pinata if it wants to press charges.”
Americans UNITE!
Medical virtue signaling...it’s just a shot away...

Did you overlook the “...or been exposed...”?
Quite frankly this tendency to pretend the Constitution prohibits public health measures is appalling.
