Santa Cruz Police Chief: “unacceptable behavior” from anti-mask group at Trader Joe’s
KION ^ | February 16, 2021 | Aaron Groff

A group of maskless people made their way into a Santa Cruz Trader Joe's over the weekend, ignoring calls from store employees to leave for several minutes.

Video shared on YouTube shows the group skipping a line of masked customers waiting to enter the grocery store, and immediately is told to leave. The maskless group, appearing to be about a dozen people, ignored demands and made their way inside.

KEYWORDS:
Santa Cruz Police Chief Andrew Mills acknowledged the video Tuesday, on Twitter, writing "@SantaCruzPolice are aware of the awful incident at #TraderJoes market. It’s unacceptable behavior by a group of anti-science, anti-vaccine #QAnonsense type conspiracy supporters. #SCPD will take action when legally possible."


Not a protest I would have participated in but they did it peacefully. Police chief seems to be going after the "domestic extremists" This is the same police chief that kneeled with the BLM protestors last summer.

They mostly wore their masks, so it was okay.

Non-mask wearers need to take a lesson from blacks in Greensboro. We need more non-mask sit-ins:

It is time!

Should anyone even care or listen to anything a Police Chief from the Communist Headquarters in California thinks or says??

It seems like Chief Mills has the same attitude as the police chiefs in the old south who stood with the KKK and other racists against the civil rights protestors.

Wife and I like to shop at trader Joe’s here in Fla but their mask policy does deem a little naziesque to say the least. For the longest time they had a only 20 people allowed in the store at a time policy. That was way overkill IMO. They also employ 2 or 3 people at the entrance that seems there only job is to enforce their mask policy.
The other radical mask policy grocery store is whole foods......that one however I get, seeing as they seem to cater to the hippie culture. Lol

Virtue Signaling is part of their “brand”. Their antics are but advertising to the faithful.

Well, if people are exempt medically, the businesses should not be allowed to refuse service. The anti-maskers aren’t any better, butting in front of a line of people is not cool for a start.

I think we are going to end up with two camps of crazy people screwing things up for everyone else. On the one hand you have the multi-maskers, on the other hand you have the anti-maskers, and they are going to feed off of one another.

I thought the behavior of the store’s employees was unacceptable, by screaming, cursing and threatening their paying customers.

“...the awful incident...”

I wonder how the police chief would react to a rape/murder?
