"using the police power under their respective state constitutions"

Nope. There is NOTHING in any constitution about shutting down the liberties and freedoms of the people.

“There is NOTHING in any constitution about shutting down the liberties and freedoms of the people.”

False. From the Illinois constitution:

SECTION 6. POWERS OF HOME RULE UNITS
(a) A County which has a chief executive officer elected
by the electors of the county and any municipality which has
a population of more than 25,000 are home rule units. Other
municipalities may elect by referendum to become home rule
units. Except as limited by this Section, a home rule unit
may exercise any power and perform any function pertaining to
its government and affairs including, but not limited to, the
power to regulate for the protection of the public health,
safety, morals and welfare; to license; to tax; and to incur
debt.
