Yeah if I owned a small business there?s no way I?d shut down. We?d deal with that shit in court. I can tell you from knowing a lot of cops (and being married to one) that nobody I know is interested in these lockdowns either. Problem is they get stuck in a spot when you go into a business without a mask and you refuse to leave, now it?s defiant trespass and they have to do something. Whether they agree with it or not. Other than that they aren?t bothering anybody for masks or being open when the Gov says they shouldn?t be. BTW WTF did you do to get so beat on by the cops? lol. In a past life when I sold a lot of drugs I was raided by the AG office, detained for an attempted shooting, followed clear to Florida and back by the Feds, and never once had my ass kicked lol.
I lived big condo unit with 5 identical buildings. They came to the wrong building with the same unit number. I was having a Christmas party with several guests with a Coors party ball on ice sitting outside the door.
First cop walked in as asked form "the owner". I met him and asked what was going on and what was he in my house for? We went back and forth for a couple of questions, I had no idea what he was talking about and I told him to please leave. He drew his weapon and pointed at me from 4 feet. I asked what was going on and he said turn around your are under arrest. I has 'for what"? And he ass whooping began. I was 6 weeks out of major back surgery and I believe it permanantly destroyed my back. His female partner must have hit me in the face 10 times with her baton. Rodney King did not get a worse ass whooping than me.
They then cleared my house of guests and proceeded to tear my house to shreads. Dumped all my food even the refrigerator onto the floors, overturn ever piece of furniture and broke things. They left with only all my firearms. It took to years for them to admit they were "mistaken". By that time I was completely broke, put all my lawyer fees on credit card, borrowed from my not rich grandmother, disabled and ready to commit suicide. They told me I could either plead guilty to disturbing the peace and some other bs charge or they were going to file new felon charges for assaulting a police office because the time to file a misdemeanor had expired as it was over a year.
I ended up pleading guilty and paying a fine, plus to really rub my nose in it they made me pay for the female cops pants she ripped while beating me in the face. I was a country bumpkin na?ve fool. If I know what I know now and had the same self confidence instead of being a bumpkin. It would have been a nice settlement.
I had TWO other incidence in two completely different states. One a cop want into my run down little one bedroom house when I was a 17 year old on my own and tried to kick me out of my house in the middle of the night because "kids don't rent houses". Another was a call on a rental house looking for the previous tenant a petty criminal. After he badgered me not believing I was the guy and demanding my ID, I asked him to leave. As I closed the door he stuck his foot back in the door and told me I could cooperate or he was taking me in for assaulting a police officer.
Married to a cop, you are going to believe I was nasty or a smart ass or uncooperative or whatever. Nope I was a polite country boy bewildered in each case.
