That was so funny and disturbing at the same time. It really makes you take a step back and ask WTF the government is ordering (this is not the cops' fault, they are doing their job) and why we are allowing it.
There's
a book that goes in-depth into that phenomenon. A universal aspect that one notices is that the process follows a crawl-walk-run escalation.
The Gov of IL is now threatening to pull the business license of anyone who violates the order. It's not your business, it is the state's (and the city's) and you operate it only at their pleasure.
We're definitely seeing governments probing to see how much they can get away with.
You there, Ephialtes. May you live forever.

old thread
A friend sent me this. I don't like John Oliver as much as I used to and disagree with him often. Also, this is only tangentially related, as it's local news coverage that's getting roasted. But, the police get singed a little.

Old, old thread
I just saw videos and articles re: the Tyler Canaris (victim) — Michael McMaster (policeman) incident.
social media, youtube, heavy.com …
I generally support the police and they’ve always been good to me, but I am increasingly aware of incidents like these.
