Why any cop would enforce such a ridiculous government edict is beyond me.

Because they are there to enforce the edicts of tyrants. Police exist to protect politicians and collect revenue. They are tax collectors with guns and conflating police with law and order is simply propaganda. That is something the pandemic and the riots have shown us.

If they had any honor, they would not create a situation where no situation existed. But then again, if they had honor they wouldn't have signed up to be street muscle for filthy, corrupt, tyrannical politicians to begin with.

Cops watched cities burn over the summer while being paid.

because its the easiest enforcement they will ever be asked to do...a dream job, really...

Here in Hernando and nearby Citrus Counties some businesses have mask requirement signs posted, and many people do wear them but from what I’ve seen people don’t bother anyone who don’t wear one.

Setting aside the fact that the officer stepped over a line when he assaulted the citizen. The officer was simply trespassing the individual at the request of the business owner. At that point, the officer is not stomping on anyone’s rights and is enforcing a valid law. That is unless you disagree with trespassing laws and a business owner’s right to trespass someone. You want to point the finger at someone “enforcing” tyrannical rules? Point it at the business owners/managers that call the police and put them in a no-win situation. Better yet, point it at the government official that has threatened to close the business if it doesn’t enforce government edicts. Talk about a textbook example of fascism; that’s it.
