The point is not close to everyone is wearing/wore masks.
And yet cases and deaths are trending down.
And Hospitalizations for ILI are at the baseline.

POLICE IN CITY WILL USE NETS TO SUBDUE THE DERANGED
By Barbara Basler
Jan. 27, 1981
New York City police officers, who have been forced to handle a growing number of cases involving mentally disturbed people, will begin using fire extinguishers and huge nets this week when they answer such calls.Officials said the fire extinguishers contained a harmless bicarbonate-of-soda mixture that is sprayed at the person to disorient him while a 10-by-14-foot net is cast over him.
Three ropes are attached to the net so that it can be pulled taut, throwing the person to the ground with his arms pinned to his sides. Patrick J. Murphy, chief of operations of the New York Police Department said that it handled 21,000 ''E.D.P.'' - emotionally disturbed person'' - calls in 1980. He said the department had been searching for ways to subdue violent or threatening deranged persons without harming them or endangering the police.
He said he believed the nets would will prove effective, but acknowledged that ''they may be controversial.'' ''It doesn't look too nice when you see a fellow enveloped in a cloud of smoke and netted - almost like an animal,'' he said, ''but all this is is an attempt not to hurt these people.'
But the doctor, who asked to remain unidentified, conceded that ''the police have a tough job, trying to control the uncontrollable,'' and he said ''this might be a good answer.''

You want to get rid of the police? This is what it looks like. When you stop enforcing the law, you get anarchy and chaos. You get ruined lives and billions in damages. The only thing worse than cops is no cops.
And that’s after we saw nonsense like this, from Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender:
And speaking of nonsense in Minneapolis: Minneapolis Won’t Let Riot-Battered Stores Install Security Shutters.
In a report justifying the rule change, Minneapolis officials argued that external shutters “cause visual blight” and create the impression that an area is “unsafe” and “troublesome.”
After looters crashed through his floor‐to‐ceiling windows and stole $1 million worth of booze in May, Chicago‐Lake Liquors owner John Wolf wanted to protect himself from a repeat occurrence. … The [forbidden] investment [in security shutters] would not only prevent rioters from entering his store, it would protect his windows — which cost $50,000 to replace.
Minneapolis will have more “visual blight” than it knows what to do with for years after this past summer’s Biden Riots.
You just can't make this stuff up!!!

Your comments on CNN are quite correct...sickening liberal, anti trump, but that does not change the facts, his performance on the virus has been absolutely terrible, causing more deaths, extending the effects on the economy way past where it could have been. The man is a walking pendulum.
What should he have done, when should he have done it, and why?

Report confirms that 50% of those falsely convicted of crimes they did not commit were victims of police or prosecutor misconduct.
"archived up until February 2019. That's 2,400 cases" over 30 years.
That's approx 80 per year so 40/yr were railroaded.

I read that first sentence and thought I was going to get the "man on the moon hoax" theory.
(On a related point, I actually enjoyed this fine OJ performance as a kid)
So I'm weirdly relieved.

Face it. Trump and his followers (the Fa, if you will) quake in fear of Antifa. They tremble at the mere mention of the name. Because they never know where these communist arsonists anti-fa people, who now apparently include the formerly venerable Smoky the Bear, will strike next. It's the only explanation for the myopic focus on the anti-fa during this campaign.
No trembling here, I have been waiting with baited breath and full mags for them to show up.

My sons know better than to protest for a drug addicted career criminal.
10 hours ago, BullBuchanan said:So, you've got bullies, murderers, domestic abusers, animal killers and addicts whose job it is to decide who broke the law and whether or not they deserve to die and then you've got the "good guys" that turn a blind eye to this behavior, condone it, or actively support it, when two terrorist cops in Buffalo resigned their post over the suspension of their "brothers".
Where they that way when they took the job or did dealing with the worlds trash on a daily basis make them that way?
Maybe your empathy should go both ways

The suspect is still not at all aggressive.
His lack of compliance is aggression. The law is on their side.

The law.

They should have more selective recruiting and better training so that they don't murder innocent people.
He should have had better upbringing, not doing meth in a parking lot and obey lawful orders from police officers.
When you resist arrest and try to flee and get shot it's not murder

He ran after he was shot, likely because he feared for his life, which turned out to be an extremely valid concern given that he was murdered seconds later.
The first shot was a non lethal bean bag. He should have complied with their lawful orders.

During one of the body camera videos, a police officer can be heard shouting "Hell yeah! Let's get some!" and "Let's get these motherf******" before attempting to apprehend protesters.
Everyone should have that much enthusiasm for their job!!!

Along the same lines, it's not wise to advertise your collection. When you get a gun you want to talk about it, but that's best limited to friends and family. You wouldn't want half the neighborhood to know you kept a lot of cash on hand, and the same applies to firearms. I used to think having pro 2A stickers on your car and house sent the message that you were a hard target. That's probably true, but it also sends the message that you have guns in your house and/or car available for the taking.
And the last people you want to know you have guns is the government.
And as far as having them stolen, mine are secure.

conservatives LOVE talking about the hero's of 9/11 yet never bring up the fact that the american government basically left them to rot and die alone with the most pathetic excuse for healthcare/benefits for 9/11 first respondents.
this is what we should think when we say "never forget"
never forget how big of a joke the united states government is.
You are a clown
About the Victim Compensation Fund
The September 11th Victim Compensation Fund ("VCF") was created to provide compensation for any individual (or a personal representative of a deceased individual) who suffered physical harm or was killed as a result of the terrorist-related aircraft crashes of September 11, 2001 or the debris removal efforts that took place in the immediate aftermath of those crashes. The original VCF operated from 2001-2004.
Permanent Authorization
On July 29, 2019, President Trump signed into law H.R. 1327, The Never Forget the Heroes: James Zadroga, Ray Pfeifer, and Luis Alvarez Permanent Authorization of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. The VCF Permanent Authorization Act extends the VCF’s claim filing deadline from December 18, 2020, to October 1, 2090, and appropriates such funds as may be necessary to pay all approved claims. Please see the VCF Permanent Authorization Act page for more details.
