SEPTA says it will no longer enforce a short-lived policy requiring riders to wear facial coverings after a widely shared video showing a man being dragged off a bus, allegedly for not wearing one, prompted confusion about whether masks were mandatory while riding public transit.

The video shows several Philadelphia police officers forcibly removing the man, who is later heard saying he was taken off the bus for not wearing a mask.

The statists are loving their new powers. The people, not so much.

I stand by my previous statements: We have more to fear from Comrade Mayors and Comrade Governors than we do from the virus.

That you should have to state the obvious is scary.

But thank you.

The black booted thug did not have a mask. I am pretty sure he rides public transportation all day long, his cruiser

I heard this had nothing to do with the Coronavirus. The man was just stone cold ugly.

Good preview of police/milice actions when more dictatorial edicts come from government. The government is not your friend and the police are not your friends either.

Notice the people enforcing the rule (if there is one) aren’t wearing masks:

This man is going to get PAID.

This video gives me great peace of mind.

It shows that officers will be the first to help us keep our weapons in an emergency.

The officers should all be arrested for violating the man’s rights. This is fascism. Just following orders doesn’t cut it.

That excuse has been bullocked since the end of WW2.

The cops are at fault too. Following illegal orders is no excuse.

Yes, but I've been flamed even here on FreeRepublic for resisting the Comrades.
