In certain counties, first responders (police) are allowed to enter stores before others and make their purchases without any rationing. As Orwell wrote, some pigs are more equal.
Everyone should have to live under the same rules, ESPECIALLY THE POLICE. To allow them special privileges and to escape the inconveniences associated with this lockdown is disgusting. Law enforcement must understand what it is like to live like those they have power over. To allow them special privilege is license for abuse and makes them more inclined to enforce laws that have no impact on them what so ever. . It smacks of the Stanford Experiment. It is a technique that was used to enable the Stasi to be so abusive toward those they over saw.
Add to it that local government is allowing ranking health officials to make law dictating what is jail able and what is not. Here, in CA, they are releasing prisoners and threatening to jail people who do not wear masks.
The people enforcing the law have little if any regard for the constitution they swore to uphold and defend. I cannot count how many have told me they are simply doing what they are told to do.
CA is talking about masks for a year. A friend who works in law enforcement in another state says he heard masks possibly until mid 2022.
END THE LOCKDOWN NOW!
Tho the irony of an air marshal demanding preferential treatment when flight volumes are at an all time low was worth the effort in engaging in this thread.
You know what, I’m sorry for painting such a broad brush. I should assume you have a legitimate reason for early shopping hours etc. apologies for making assumptions.
You nailed that one.
you would do well to learn the rule of holes yourself. It’s the keyboard warriors who are sitting home safely that feel free to snark at those of us taking care of people with covid. I’d like to see how brave you are in the ICU with inadequate PPE working long hours. I’ll bet not nearly as brave as sitting behind the keyboard
thank you for what you do. I for one appreciate it
Piss off, you are not part of the conversation, only running your mouth.
nice comeback there dude. You insulted one of my colleagues and friends. You really are a big man behind the keyboard aren’t you. Does mommy know you are still up?
Well, you are speaking as a LEO, so I can understand your difficulty with the English language. If there are no check boxes on tickets you would be lost, yeah? Run your mouth at someone who cares, if you can find one... I don’t.
So when would you like us to get our food. I am sorry it sticks in your craw. I can’t leave the ICU during curtailed shopping hours to get food and take care of the daily acitivities of running a house. I am glad that you want us to choose between having food to eat when we are tired and going back to taking care of people and leaving our posts.
Yes, its called putting our lives on the line every day to take care of people. I am sorry that you dont think we should be compensated for it. Please, tell me, with hours curtailed, when should we get our groceries and necessities for life?
Do you know why divorces so expensive? Because they are worth it, and you are a prime example. All blather and emotion, no facts, and expecting to be taken seriously. Again, you are not part of the conversation.
I am aware to the rules of holes. Stop talking to them. You clearly are a large hole. You did not answer the questions, and you are without controversy a jackass
It's worse. Or will be if it doesn't let up.
We are seeing which politicians want to return to the constitutional republic that we are, and which ones are enjoying their newfound power over the little people.
You are a real load of snappy comebacks tonight showing off your brilliance. Now run along and play with the other kids and leave the adults alone
Piss off? Really. dont like being called out for the petulant moron that you are?
I don’t know where you are, but I would gladly volunteer to do all grocery shopping for anybody around my area experiencing your problem. I’m betting you’d see something similar if folks around you knew.
Thankfully I live in a small town and everybody knows who needs help without asking.
That advice could go both ways.
So you are a woman hater as well? Words fail what a true ass you are. Ill tell you what, why dont you try something that approaches a coherent argument instead of crying like a baby.
Wait in line like everyone else. You do realize you are like everyone else, that there is nothing special about you? Have a friend go. You never have a day off? Go on your day off like regular folks do.
My complaint is the Orwellian some pigs are more equal logic.
Did you not realize what your job entails or motherhood for that matter? Maybe you need to give one or the other up. What makes you think other people can make it to the store during curtailed hours but you should receive special dispensation? According to mu logic, farmers, plumbers, trash collectors, truck drivers, roughnecks, to name a few, should all be in line ahead of you for without them you would have nothing, be living in squalor that no doctor could rescue you from, and be walking.
Thank you for your kindness. Apparently Sandwich guy who does not appear to offer any socially redeeming value does not think working in an ICU for 12 hours a day the last 16 days while my military colleagues have been called up to New York is something that means that I would be allowed to eat. In his world, my colleagues and I are supposed to serve his worthless ass when he gets sick, but not to be able to go the the store to get the basics of life. Yep, we have privilege. My current privilege is also my calling, I take care of critically ill patients and in doing so my colleagues and I put our lives on the line everyday. To hear the absolute lunacy of someone who states and abuses women telling them to piss off when one offers an opinion is unfathomable
However, the oath that I took also reuiqres me to take care of his worthless ass, and were he under my care, he would get the same world class care that my other patients receive. And he would continue to be ungrateful. Its mind boggling.
