I'm glad to see the homeschooling movement is picking up steam though.

They make a show of this to scare the rest into compliance.

The Covid atrocities have really brought to light the sort of ignorant, cowardly, cruel scumbags that are in charge of many schools.

The silver lining in all this is how the teachers' unions have been shown for what they really are. The public school exodus followed by the rise of teaching pods might be the best thing to happen to our children in generations.

ive been watching Avi Yemini on youtube seeing how the cops behave down under, its shocking how quickly they respond to bullshit mask offences or some other minor bs, out in large numbers like a gang picking on normal people, usually women.

this is what the police have become everywhere, cowards.

it wouldnt take any effort to turn them into Reserve Police Battalion 101

Very apt allusion. Point is, it took almost no effort to turn Battalion 101 into monsters; just a single address by their commanding officer - his voice quavering with emotion - during which he specifically gave them the option to opt out of the operation; a small number did and faced zero consequences.

there were many steps/nudges before the speech, which is sadly where we are at.

Stopping real criminals is hard. Stopping old ladies from going out to eat is easy.

NY City cops - couple dozen were deployed - made a ~10 year old girl at the Museum of Natural History cry - on the same day that the new mayor said he was frightened to use the subways.

>> Make them walk you out the door in cuffs. Make the world see exactly what enforcement of these edicts (not even laws) looks like in the real world.

To thunderous applause.

Like I said in a comment a few days ago, it's clear from some online comments that many people would be happy to see the police drag the sit-in diners out of Woolworth. But others have to be revolted about what's going on here. How long before somebody not wearing a mask gets the George Floyd/Tony Timpa treatment?

All laws (and not laws!) are backed up by the police. The same exact police that the left has been screaming to defund for a year+. If the police are so racist and want to kill minorities, why on earth would we set up a situation that leads to MORE police/citizen encounters?

Imagine a situation where a cop gets killed trying to force a mask on someone and the killer claims self defense.

That’d be fun.

And the killer could very likely be right.

And the Democrats would pass an anti-domestic-terror bill empowering law enforcement to kill people who refuse to wear a mask when ordered, to protect the police they love so much from dangerous white supremacists, the single greatest existential threat the entire universe has ever known.

There's plenty of photo and footage out of Australia that comes pretty close. I saw one not long ago of a fat guy getting the crap kicked out of him by six cops so they could force a mask onto his face.

Every time there's a police response to one of these things, it's like 8 police to handle one person. So much for social distancing :p
