Andrea Widburg "In ordinary times, there tends to be a commonality between conservatives and law enforcement. Both are hostile to leftist efforts to decriminalize criminal activity, such as lifestyle crimes (urinating and defecating on the streets or public drug use) and low-level criminal activity (in California, any crimes resulting in less than $950 in damage).
"For that reason, conservatives are finding shocking the fact that, thanks to the orders leftist governors and mayors are issuing, law enforcement officers across America are engaging in bullying tactics more often seen in communist countries than in a constitutional America. Conservatives probably shouldn't be so surprised." . . .

"Dan Bongino, a former New York police officer, has tweeted out a plea to his former brothers and sisters in blue to remember who they are and what they represent:
. . .To My Brothers & Sisters in Blue,
PLEASE, speak w/your fraternal organizations & speak out collectively against these outrageous orders to arrest Americans for exercising their Rights. We’re losing the support of people who’ve defended us in crises for years. This can’t continue.
"Thankfully, not all police officers are falling into the tyrant's trap. I wrote the other day about the Houston Police Officers' Union's stand against an order to arrest people not wearing masks. CNN has also written (disapprovingly, of course) about law enforcement officers refusing to enforce government mandates they believe are unconstitutional, draconian, or unreasonable.
"CNN, as usual, is wrong. The Constitution is the highest and best law in the land. Those law enforcement officers who refuse to enforce ukases that directly and unsubtly violate the First Amendment are in the right. Long may these men and women serve!"
"Prisoners should be let out, but citizens who go to the beach get locked up." . . . That's all good with Pelosi
Unless protests and showings of civil disobedience continue to pick up steam, it is not likely that Americans will get their basic rights back following the coronavirus pandemic.
A shocking video has been posted on social media of a mother being hauled off in handcuffs from a playground at Julius M. Kleiner Memorial Park in Meridian, Idaho.
It was posted on Facebook by activist Erin Whitt Timmerman and demonstrated how law enforcement officials will readily comply with unconstitutional orders.
