-Leading cause of death among cops is Covid
-Clearly have enabled these protesters (and the 1/6 protesters) compared to BLM protesters
-Had two cops come into the ER where I work (New Hampshire) couple nights ago fully and proudly unmasked, despite signs and norms. We had to tell them to mask up.

I know of people who now regret getting the COVID-19 vaccine and say they will never get another.

The fact that so many people will give up their job over it tells you about the level of conviction.

We may have reached the useful limit of pressure.

their jobs. Very few comparatively are losing them, and most of those are retiring, don't value their jobs, or otherwise don't have to work.

This is a messy handling of an unprecedented civil disorder, but otherwise necessary practice for when the next deadly epidemic disease threatens. Which is inevitable, and sooner rather than later. Many of those epidemiologists fear are far more deadly than SARS2, and/or target children, but with any luck at all tRump will not be president when it or they arrive.

Seriously... 1/6 defendants are being sentenced to small fines and a few days of house arrest FOR ATTACKING THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.

I'm betting the thugs at the Barclay's Center figure they'll get off w/ even less.

That people like MTG get enough votes to get elected is frightening....that enough people saw and listened to her and thought sounds good to me is startling and almost beyond belief.

metal barricades need to need to be taller and fixed in place.

Think more 'zombie hoard' than 'fan/customer'.
