I don’t like mandatory masks, but if they are required by law or by facility policy, you are in violation if you don’t comply and it is left to police to enforce.

Resisting arrest is a stupid game, and getting tased is a common prize for that stupid game.

Exactly what I came to say. Perfectly stated!

Really? Police are LAW ENFORCEMENT, not policy enforcement. Cops weren’t wearing masks, how do you reconcile that?

I see a big suit.

‘Required by law’ and ‘facility policy’ are two very different things.

It’s not difficult to understand police being called to enforce a law and subsequently arresting someone for violating the law. If the lawbreaker resists, well, as you said, that’s a stupid game and there will be a prize for that.

What is not easy to understand is how the police can be used as bullies to enforce a ‘facility policy’ beyond forcing a non-compliant person to leave the facility.

Arresting them for charges of trespassing would be obvious and reasonable at that point, but arresting and charging them for breaking a policy that is not a law is unreasonable.

When told to leave - for trespassing - she should have left without scuffling with the police as she was going to lose. Hopefully, she will decide to pursue this in the courts.

‘but if they are required by law or by facility policy, you are in violation if you don’t comply’

Kim Jong-un would love you as a citizen...the mask mandate states that masks be worn ‘outdoors if a six foot margin to unrelated individuals cannot be maintained...’

looks to me like she was in compliance with the $#%ing mask mandate as it is stated by law; but because idiots think that viral droplets from a person that is at a distance who is not visibly coughing or sneezing in the outside air is going to infect them with a deadly disease, we have nonsense like this going on...

There’s a boatload of difference between law and facility policy. This was facility policy, and the proper ‘enforcement’ was to ask her to put the mask on, and if she doesn’t, ask her to leave.
