Bet #HeilHalfWit hasn’t immunized LEOs from criminal and/or civil liability if they violate a citizen’s civil rights...

I’m sure that’s just an oversight on her part, though.

Mutiny on the Bounty.

It’s pretty easy for UP sherrifs to say this considering most of that territory is park land. I wouldn’t consider it all that bold a move. Nothing wrong with it, but it’s like me taking a vow to not ride in elevators, when I am no where near one in daily life.

Not Yuppers.

Those southern folks consider the top of the mitten to be upper Michigan.

[PeteB570]

I should say Northern Michigan as the article did,

[Mozzafiato]

Quite a few Michiganders have a cottage, cabin, or second home in northern Michigan, so these Sherrifs would have the direct role in enforcing that ban.

David Farragut also springs to mind.

I’ve had enough of this totalitarian crap.

[KobraKai]

You’re talking about handfuls of potential cases, not 5 million like Detroit.

[PistolPaknMama]

Love it!

This just proves that just because a person has a hole in between their legs that they are qualified to run a state.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Does law enforcement have a Hippocratic oath not to enforce questionable orders?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Yoopers are naturally socially distanced.

Does law enforcement have a Hippocratic oath not to enforce questionable orders?

Not 'questionable' that I'm aware of.

'Illegal', yes.

Where does that leave Bruce Jenner?

[PeteB570]

Having been born and raised up there I would have to agree.

Getting 12 inches of snow meant the bus drivers came in early and put chains on the buses.

Folks living on the side roads would wait for the bus to come through so they could follow the ruts out to the main road - which might or might not be plowed.

Not UPers. These counties are along Lake Michigan, south of the pinkie finger that is Leelanau County.

Michigan is not as liberal as people think. Lots of gun owners and woodsmen. Lexington and Concord 2 may happen there. It’s going to happen someplace if the lockdowns continue, just as sure as God made little green apples.

“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.” ― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
