That law was enacted by his elected representatives. One does not change the law by fighting the police on the street.

Some laws are so inane it’s simply mind boggling, and this one is a perfect example. It’s the kind of law that is routinely ignored by virtually all rational people. Of course it’s also the kind of law that affords those with a little authority the opportunity to push people around. Spit!
These are the laws the people in that jurisdiction voted for. If we allow the law to be changed because someone doesn’t think it should apply to them, so they fight the police, that replaces civility with barbarism.
The laws are not the fault of the police. To fight them when enforcing it, is to put one’s own life, the lives of the police, and those of innocent bystanders in danger.
So to hell with that fat scumbag! You don’t like the law? There is a peaceful process of changing it.
And this is the sort of jurisprudence for which the people of NYC voted. It is a heavily regulated society. That’s what the voters apparently want.
This is why I have little sympathy for people who have found themselves subject to unchecked riots accompanied by grinding lockdowns. When I see a shopkeeper being interviewed complaining how their outdoor market is closed while the outdoor canteen for a movie set is open, my question always is, “did you vote Democrat?”
