Why not go after gang members this way? Might cut down on their crime.
And to a large extent, this is what the Second Amendment is all about. If the Constitution had been enforced by the Supreme Court ("shall not be infringed"), then the right to keep and bear arms would be more widely practiced. Which would make the tyranny less likely. But, you accept the anarchy by not enforcing the law, and you get the tyranny of a government that does not fear its people.
I no longer blindly “ back the blue”.
100% correct. That theory that 99% of cops and FBI agents(Hannity!) are reliable regarding American constitutional values has been blown apart or exposed, if you will, during the pandemic and the attack on the 2016 election and Donald Trump.
What most of us here think of as “good cops” is probably in the neighborhood of 20-30%…just my observations.
Just following orders ..
I am stunned by the number of people on Twitter who are supporting the cop’s actions. They put all of the blame on her, even going so far to say that she should never have left home with a child.
I do not agree with the cursing or in your face attitude of the woman, but the police have no right to physically assault someone because they don’t like their attitude. And they were getting no support from the bystanders. I wonder how many of them will remember this when November comes around?
Six cops to take down a woman for not wearing a mask, while one holds back a 4 year old from defending his mom. Shame on the leadership of the NYPD (it ain’t what it used to be).
Don't ask me what I really think.
Reminiscent of the Nuremberg trials at the conclusion of WW2.
Corrupt politicians intend to milk this PLANdemic for all they can
Government (police state) mandated masks also intentionally violate the US Constitution : remember - Congress shall make no law abridging the right of the people to peaceably assemble..?
This is good for America. By exposing the New York City totalitarian tyranny, Change will kick the bastards out.
Growing up I was taught to always respect police officers and I did until one day I was at an abortion clinic protest and I was walking between a police officer and the fender of a police car and then for no reason at all the officer hip checked me into the car, basically giving me a charlie horse when my thigh struck the corner of the bumper. Why? Just because he could.
For all I knew it could have just been one bad cop among all the 99.9999% of good cops (and I know a lot of good cops). But from then on I realized you can't just assume you have to try to distinguish between the bad and the good, just like in every other profession.
The cops in this video? They probably pulled that sh*t on girls and weaker boys in their high school class and got disciplined, so now they go on to get jobs where they are the discipline.
In ‘uniform’ and in ‘official vehicle’ doesn’t cancel his 1st amendment right to freedom of speech. And he spoke the truth.
Karen’s are entitled, obnoxious, middle aged ... that are easily triggered
Felt this way for a long time. They will just hide behind the, "But I was just following orders." tagline. One positive thing about this Covid fiasco is there are a lot of people that have shown their true colors. From law enforcement, to people willing to turn in their neighbors, to just plain sheep; they have made themselves known.
I support the cops here. I saw this video yesterday. This typical hood rat couldn’t just adjust the mask and put it on properly. No. With her child present, she had to go BT-800 on the police and get loud, stupid, and combative, and then resist the arrest she howled herself into.
I think this mask crap is dumb, but I guarantee you this hood rat eagerly voted for the very jackasses that imposed the restrictions. So she can suck it, as far as I’m concerned.
Where has the ACLU been when the left wingers take away our free speech and other Amendment rights?
Below is an excellent summary on the failure of the ACLU to protect our rights in this Covid-b$ take away of our rights and civil liberties
The ACLU has been conspicuous by their silence since the "pandemic" started. Not so much as a generic press release reminding our elected officials to be mindful of peoples' CIVIL LIBERTIES. Their silence speaks volumes.

This BS has never been about your/our health. It is supporting thugs in our society while they take away our rights/protection as American citizens.
UNFREAKIN’ BELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I no longer blindly “back the blue”.
Heck, I’m sure there is even the “Prostitute with a good heart.” Drug dealers may be all bad, though. But few started out that way. ;)
I don’t believe that had nothing to do with it, it was an excuse.
When a uniformed officer says exactly what we’d like him to say and it’s deemed to be a worthy of termination we should all be very concerned.
Our 1st Amendment acutely applies to government jobs. This notion that you must kow-tow some ‘accepted’ (lefty) narrative or give up your government job is absurd. It can only result in a government where the only opinion allowed is by those at the top - everyone else must fall inline.
That he was in uniform when he said it is irrelevant - or at least should be.
