Appears the police in Michigan are a bunch of over-weight, out of shape and lazy pussies with under-lying health issues.
There is something about a cop wearing a mask that bothers me.
“ WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. - More than a fifth of Detroit’s police force is quarantined; two officers have died from coronavirus and at least 39 have tested positive, including the chief of police.”
If it is “Just the Flu,” how many flu seasons has the Detroit Police Department had two officers die of the flu?
Here in SoCal the freeways have been moving at 85 plus for 2 weeks, I keep telling myself that if I should get pulled over for speeding, I will immediately start Coughing, Gagging, Hacking,... And tell the Officer that I don’t feel good and am going home.
When he sees and hears me I think I have a 100% chance of being told to GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE and Go Home!!!
The AP article serves no constructive public purpose.
NONE.
Well, they could shoot a dog, and they’d feel better.
Anyway, crime has to be way down. There is no one on the streets, people are staying home, which prevents burglaries, and many stores are stripped bare, so there’s not a lot to steal.
Just Manny being Manny.
So .1% have died and less than 2% have tested positive (generally 80% of those cases are mild) and they’re scared, so says the author.
About a dozen of the county Sheriff staff are on 14-day quarantine. None have tested positive so far. They are systematically releasing "non-violent" prisoners from the jails.
However, gun stores have been designated "essential business activities" and are still open. There is a six-day backlog to clear the NCIS checks and pickup a firearm. Ammunition in the common calibers is still available. More so than toilette paper!
There are a lot more visible police patrols - even if they are not getting out of their cars. Maybe being in a vehicle is safer than hanging around the police station.
USPS is next, no one provide even gloves or masks.
I use to quilt, until permanent hand damage from surgery. Tried my hand at it yesterday, while it’s not virus proof it is dust and allergy, the mailman was tickled to receive his even if it was imperfect. Has bad seasonal allergies.
Are these the same officers that blindly follow the orders of their governor or mayor and enforce illegal and Unconstitutional orders?

Troops were scared when Normandy was assaulted. Same in more recent conflicts. Grow some balls. So tired of people taking jobs that come with huge benefits and early cush state funded retirement but whining about the risks that warrant those benefits.
Protect and serve, thats what you volunteered for.
