When cops enforce draconian COVID measures that caused millions of people to lose their livelihoods, then yeah they are the problem.
I was all for the cops until that shit happened.
Now I also say fuck ‘em.
They should have been arresting politicians who were ignoring the constitution.
Even that example is out of context. The police were summoned to enforce existing trespass laws. The people at fault are the mayors office and the corporate toadies that "followed the guidance" and trespassed unvaccinated. This applies to the US. The EU and Australia were arresting people for simply being outside.
Municipalities were unconstitutionally telling private businesses that they couldn’t operate. And the cops were enforcing that bullshit.
This has nothing to do with trespassing laws.
That’s the problem, though - they’re “just doing their job.”
