NYC sends 1,000 officers to patrol as residents venture outside on sunny Saturday (barbecue is against the law)
NBC 'News' ^ | 5/02/20 | Tom Winter, Minyvonne Burke

As New York City residents ventured outside to enjoy a sunny Saturday, police sent 1,000 officers to ensure they abided by social distancing rules that remain in place to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

"This is the nicest weather we've seen this year; we encourage people to come out and enjoy this weather," Terence Monahan, Chief of Department for the New York Police Department, told NBC News.

But, he reminded residents out enjoying the city's parks, "You cannot gather; you cannot barbecue. We're going to give you a summons. There's been enough warnings."

He said the NYPD would have bike teams and mounted units on horseback throughout the parks, as well as aviation units working to spot problem areas.

And just think of how many piles of road apples the horses deposit all over the parks. Let a civilian try and ride a horse and see what happens.

I’m surprised they don’t use police dogs to complete the Jack booted thug look.

We're going to give you a summons.

They could use the summons to light their barbecues. I would.

Cops Should Enforce the Law, Not the Whims of Politicians

I believe the RAT governors and mayors are dragging this out so there’ll be no presidential debates with audiences. They used to come up with lame excuses, but they don’t even bother with that any more.

We think/hope we’ve seen the end of masks and social distancing; we haven’t.

Where are these insane policies ingrained in law? I can understand a merchant forcing individuals to comply or banning service like no shoes no service but outside on my property I don’t see where the state says I cannot have a house party.

I can see it now -

Police stroll up to family barbequeing
Tell them they have to put it out
Family just says we're done anyway, meat is grilled, fire going out, have a brat officer?
Happy officer says, OK no ticket this time - with a smile.

This is 100% about parenting Trump rallies.

Nothing else.

You’re right. The Constitution assures the freedom to assemble. As long as the assembly is on your property, it’s OK. Making a guideline to forbid a gathering is NOT a law, and idiots think it is. And arrests will be made by fascist thugs.

When/if this ends, I hope there’ll be hundreds of lawsuits by people whose rights were trampled on.

This is going to end up looking like the dark days of Obama’s administration. As it gets hot in these blue inner cities, how are the local despots going to control them? I’m sure the thugs in Harlem or Watts or Henderson, Mo. have turned into perfect law abiding citizens when it comes to quarantine mega over reach.

The Karens hate Barbeque, for so many reasons...

The pollution!
The smells!
The beer!
The misogyny!
The danger of open flames!
The male camaraderie!
The gathering of lower class people in the parks!
The litter!
The lack of recycling!

The Karens have always hated barbeque. So the last thing to come back after all of this social distancing nonsense is going to be barbeque.

And football.

By enforcing these totalitarian decrees, the police are quickly becoming the enemy of the people. The “Thin Blue Line” will be much much thinner when all patriotic Americans turn on them.

Boom.

Trump’s rallies are a visible and VISUAL show of the strength of his support.

These little Adolf governors are trying to shut that down.

And the cops want our support? Nah, nevermore.

There are a lot of stories of cops behaving like Gestapo, but damned few of sheriffs and chiefs refusing to enforce unconstitutional edicts from wannabe tyrants. Yeah, I know, they were only following orders...
