“Just for the record, my deputies don’t wear masks,” Swank told a state legislative committee recently. “But once you pass this law that they can’t, I will not only allow them, but I will encourage them to do so, just to see what you do. “I don’t recognize your authority to impose these controls over me.” There you go: “I don’t recognize your authority.” That’s the masked-up mentality, as bluntly put as can be.
Maybe you should stop breaking the law assholes?
You know you can get sued without actually doing anything wrong, don’t you?
I think they have a legitimate concern, and a few protections to keep them from having to go to court (again) every time they write someone a ticket might be in order.
But that shouldn’t be enough to override the need to hold police accountable for their actions.
They’re worried because they aren’t trained well enough to know when they’re breaking the law.
