At least two Capital Region sheriffs say they won't enforce Gov. Cuomo's Thanksgiving executive order limiting the amount of people at holiday celebrations.

Then these Governors should stop pretending that these directives have the weight of law. They should be honest and simply tell people to use their good judgement and provide a handful of best practices. But instead, they have to act like big men arsh*les.
Have a few relatives who are in law enforcement - you are correct. The police can’t stand him - most call him a POS!
GodBless those brave and honest men!
Exactly. Common sense isn’t common anymore.
I spoke with a former NYPD officer today. I live in a uber liberal part of the craphole known as NY, we are having 17 people over for Thanksgiving (since renamed a BLM rally) and want to protect myself against some d-bag neighbor turning me in.
I was told if an officer shows up at my front door to enforce il duce cuomo’s order, i am under no obligation to let him in my house.
