NYPD ignores crowded Domino Park despite coronavirus restrictions
NY Post ^ | 20 April 20 | Jorge Fitz-Gibbon

Hundreds of New Yorkers were caught flaunting coronavirus social distancing restrictions in Brooklyn’s Domino Park on Sunday — and cops did little about it, according to witnesses.

The scene, captured on a video posted on Twitter, shows rows of people soaking in the sun at the riverfront park in Williamsburg despite City Hall’s professed crackdown on large gatherings — and Mayor Bill de Blasio’s initiative to have residents snitch when they see lockdown violations.

It’s an indication of how New York’s Finest continue to grapple with how aggressively to enforce the restrictions.

The video, shot from a moving car, shows clusters of people lounging in the park with the Williamsburg Bridge in the background, a number of them not wearing protective masks. The parkgoers, some alone, others in small groups — by all accounts a normal day in the park.

Just wait until Friday at mosques everywhere. Ramadan starts on that day.

The police want NOTHING to do with this.

Same with arresting folks selling loosies.

Polls show 58 to 42, don’t end the lockdown. Polls lag, a poll now yells us how people felt last week. A shofy is slowly happening.

That might mean ..."don't end the lockdown for other people, I'll do whatever I want"

Nothing will happen. No one will be arrested or have their vehicle's license plates photographed.

People who work will not achieve most favored status until they are homeless.

Good. I hope most of them didn’t sign up to cite people getting out to a park.

The media only cared about Easter and Passover services.

Muslims are protected by the MSM.

Or some may not want it TOTALLY ended. They still might want some of the more ridiculous policies ended.

It’ll be interesting to see if there will be an uptick in cases and deaths because of this.

If not, perhaps it’s all been a load of crap.

Good. The cops have better things to do. Such as rearresting all the creeps that DeBlasio let out of jail.

Just wait until Friday at mosques everywhere. Ramadan starts on that day.

If it causes the governors to open up the economy, it will be the first good thing to come of Islam in history.

Another good outcome might be that the general public recognizes that Islam is getting favored treatment from their government.
