LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva is criticizing the county's decision to order masks to be worn indoors again, claiming the mandate is "not backed by science" and contradicts federal guidelines.

Villanueva was responding Friday to an order announced the day before by the county Department of Public Health. Starting Saturday at 11:59 p.m., all county residents are supposed to wear masks indoors under rules similar to those in effect prior to California reopening on June 15.

"Forcing the vaccinated and those who already contracted COVID-19 to wear masks indoors is not backed by science and contradicts the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines," Villanueva said.

Yes, this sheriff has integrity and is one of the few in blue states that has our best interests in mind.

County and local LEOs defying orders from federal stooges/bureaucrats?

Sounds like the beginning stages of a red state/ blue state separation.

The good sheriff is correct. If the vaccine is effective (as every medical authority claims) then there is no science to support wearing masks.

it’s completely moot whether law enforcement acts or not as long at corporate fascist partners such as kroger, target, home depot, lowes, and all the rest act as enforcers for the fascists by denying goods and services to those who don’t comply with the illegal orders, and law enforcement knows that, which is why they can stand back and piously announce that they won’t get involved ...
