NYC sends 1,000 officers to patrol as residents venture outside on sunny Saturday (barbecue is against the law)
NBC 'News' ^ | 5/02/20 | Tom Winter, Minyvonne Burke

As New York City residents ventured outside to enjoy a sunny Saturday, police sent 1,000 officers to ensure they abided by social distancing rules that remain in place to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

"This is the nicest weather we've seen this year; we encourage people to come out and enjoy this weather," Terence Monahan, Chief of Department for the New York Police Department, told NBC News.

But, he reminded residents out enjoying the city's parks, "You cannot gather; you cannot barbecue. We're going to give you a summons. There's been enough warnings."

He said the NYPD would have bike teams and mounted units on horseback throughout the parks, as well as aviation units working to spot problem areas.

Exactly. No debates with Trump. No more rallies. This hoaxdemic was carefully crafted.

Everyone wearing masks, and the police are there to make sure social distancing is observed. In the meantime, people in masks are taking advantage of the difficulty in the identification aspects of this new law. Or in other words, Everyone having a gun is a safer social distancing idea than everyone wearing a mask.

This isn’t a BBQ officer. This is a cremation fire for our pet pig who died and untimely death.

For the lawsuits that will come after trampling on peoples Constitutional rights, I’m sure that many states will have liberal courts to uphold the illegitimate charges. Then what happens? Maybe our AG will then begin to go after the people that are closer to the heart of the problems. We can at least hope so.

There’s a T-bone in the Bronx
With those little sausage bites
There is smoke from grilling burgers
Wafting over Jackson Heights
Little hot dogs for a child
Spicy mustard, also mild....

Have you been to the DOJ’s WuFlu page?

It’s not what I’d call reassuring.

The NYC liberal idiots deserve this. Every movie and TV show keeps telling the rest of the country how perfect life is in Manhattan. Happy now you have your perfect life?

Only white people will receive summons or be arrested. They are afraid of the other races. White men are submissive.

People need to start suing. There is no constitutional right for the government to shutdown the country. In fact, the constitution is specifically against dictatorships and protects the rights of the people.

I can see it now -
Police stroll up to family barbequeing
Tell them they have to put it out
Family just says we’re done anyway, meat is grilled, fire going out, have a brat officer?
Happy officer says, OK no ticket this time - with a smile.

Yes, I would do this...It would be difficult not to be pissed off, but I would offer a drink, brat, whatever, and slowly go about “shutting it down”. But...a big part of me would be hard pressed to just tell him to “go to h#ll”. If these EO’s continue into the summer, I go with the latter.

This could backfire on police management. Lunchtime hits and officers go out sniffing out barbeques.

They’ll cite a citizen for barbecue, for every criminal they release from prison.

Why not barbeque? Does that include all grilling? Can’t a man go out in his backyard and cook a burger?
