This is insane. Some stupid politician (mayor?) probably ordered the police to cite these folks.

Disgusting!
I used to be a reserve deputy sheriff and have always been a staunch supporter of law enforcement. But, the actions of some of those in law enforcement during this time have really gotten me questioning my support. Some of them seem way to willing to be the mayor's/governor's/county commission's bully boys.... |

Because like what happened after Katrina things were done wrong. It went to court and found to be wrong. This has already happened in a FL case. The court cases that come out of this deal is going to be interesting. I know a lot of us look at things right off the bat and know they are wrong. Others not so much. |

Imagine being the cop that has to earn a living fucking over their fellow citizens like this.
Wonder how well they sleep at night. That's fucking pathetic on so many levels. |

I find it ironic some think this is ok because one group is just doing their job.
While the other group is doing the exact same thing. Or trying to. |

If we were going to have a massive cluster fuck during a "pandemic" it happened while Trump was in charge, the economy was great before hand and he wants it back on track as soon as possible. I know lots of conversations have taken place. I hope lots of lawsuits clear things up. |

I just wish those who are "Just doin muh job" would honor their oath instead of I'll enforce this and let the courts settle it.
Anyone shucking personal responsibility for their own actions is sad. Dr Stanley Milgram figured this out years ago with his experiment. |

Hoover used to be such a nice place. Nowadays businesses are saying "adios" to Hoover and moving elsewhere.

Hoover PD has historically been selectively "bullish" in my personal views over the years. I understand the need for "law and order", but I have also seen speed traps and other things, that ultimately result more so in revenue generation than "serving and protecting". I realize that not all PDs are like this. Lawyers are already licking their chops over incidents like this.
JMHO, YMMV |
|
If they are still open when all this stasi bullshit is over, that will be the first place I'll go for my haircut.

Hoover should have just turned a blind eye towards it and make the state enforce their bullshit order or make the state compel the city to enforce it. Either way it would be the Governor and her “advisors” that would have to take a bite of that shit sandwich. Just remember that all politics is local and you don’t bite the hand that feeds you, the city has done so. I hope there will be consequences for their lack of vision.

But I think the problem is a lot of the local .govs passed adopting measures of the state regulations in their effort to "do something". |

He wasn't able to give specifics, though. The bad part is that if the plantiffs win, and I suspect they will, the awards will be paid in tax dollars. |

During the 2018 Black Friday Thanksgiving night at the Galleria mall shooing they failed to get control of the criminal acts caused by the lead protesters Frank Matthews and Carlos Chaverst. Mostly warnings were issued with kid gloves. While the stores at the Galleria suffered major financial loss. The continued trespassing and disorderly conduct inside the mall, stores and roadways made the average shopper to continually stay away. This is shameful that HPD showed up in force to strong arm small business owner to close their doors. Hoover PD has a lot of great guys but their mayor and upper brass is calling the shots. |

Actually, I thought that Hoover handled the situation pretty well. Without going into details, they allowed the protestors their time until they started getting out of control and then Hoover put them in their place. |

The legal aspects of the Galleria case were far reaching with many national implications. I can understand it if they moved carefully and deliberately allowing the “protestors” to do themselves in.
On topic, someone else nailed it with the blind-eye observation. Hoover made a poor choice, imho. |

As a society it appears that we are caught between a rock and a hard place. I thought we were in agreement - just a misunderstanding. At this point I think a measured approach of having the at risk self isolate or carry out lab protocol is the only way we are going to make it out of this without further carnage. Several things are for sure now, more people are going to work from home... the economy is going to carry black scars for a long time, and a whole lot of people have either outed themselves as lemmings or petty tyrants. We are going to be gunshy for a long time to come. People are going to have to start wearing masks and take hygiene a little more seriously too (it will have to be a personal choice not a .gov mandate). |
