Here’s a video people being physically removed from their homes to be put into quarantine. The footage is a chilling scene from communist China.
Think it can’t happen here?
That this happened in the United States chills me.
In both China and our country, the individuals being removed resisted the authorities, but they were ultimately defenseless against a small army of state enforcers.

We have all followed illegal orders this past month.
Time to end this.

This is so contrary to our Constitution that I want it and its jackboot enforcers slapped down before someone feels it necessary to use their 2nd amendment rights to push back. Why our police are so willing to oblige the powers that be is frankly quite surprising.

Wife just showed me a Facebook video of a black pastor at his church in Greenville, MS. Every cop car in town was stationed in or near his parking lot. The devil is smiling.

And dear readers, take note that the cop coming onto the bus to remove a man not wearing a mask is not wearing a mask.

The difference I see between Philadelphia and China is that in Philadelphia they get to vote. Several times each election.

And the public thinks this is all about the flu and saving lives. Folks, think again. Look around. New depths of assumed authority have been plumbed with minimal resistance. Don't think the lessons aren't being learned. They will form some future "Emergency Plan".

Where are the likes of Omar, Rashid, Jessuh, Al, Spartacus, Alcindor, Smidgen, Mooch, et al, screaming about this racist act! Both officers are white and the passenger is black.

Where is the uprising? Why are American's allowing this to happen? I expected Pastors to rally their congregations to push back, but it never happened. I know the Wouhan flu can be deadly and serious, but the Loss of Freedoms in our Country is every MORE serious than the flu. President Trump needs to figure out a way to stop these crazy gov't control fascists.

#10, you will notice most of this is going on in urban areas. Law enforcement isn't going to be crazy about infuriating armed citizens by violating their rights. In the cities, maybe. But not in more rural communities.

What you see in this video is the dream world of the jackboot Democrats ideal for our country. Don't doubt it for one minute. This is Communism for you!

You'd think that if this were really about a man not wearing a mask on public transport the police would have GIVEN HIM A MASK to wear, not drag him off the bus!

#13, you're right. This chills me to the core. I'm a short-term "prepper," meaning I have prepared for (a few months) a disruptive national emergency. However. There is a huge part of me that believes by the time I am relying on those supplies, the "authorities" will come to my home and do an inspection of what I have. And they will take most of what I have and distribute to "others," meaning to themselves. I want to be wrong.

I too am a short term prepper. And for whatever reason since January I have stepped up on my stocking. Something did not feel right. And when they started to cancel gatherings I became very concerned. NBA, NCAA, MLB, colleges, conventions, public schools. I knew what was coming down the pike. If the assult on this bus passenger does not scare you to your core you had better wake up.

I hope that people can manage to harness a whole fleet of lawyers on the level of Mr. Barnes and Sydney Powell, and go after these Jackboot wearing officials with the tenacity of junkyard dogs. These officials need to be slapped so hard that it sends a message to the rest of them. Do Not Tread On ME!!
Most of us who pay attention know that this is a dry run for democrats and the Uniparty when the right opportunity comes up in the future. Obama has to be so eaten up with envy right now. This is what he tried for 8 years to do with his racist pot stirring at every opportunity. Think he would have allowed any elections? Very doubtful.

Perhaps the bus driver should pass out masks.
I was out riding my bike this morning and some idiot with a mask on in her car actually stopped and gave me the mask sign. That's 4 fingers over the nose and a stern look. Fortunately I'm a genteel relaxed individual who repressed my urge to give her the F U sign. No harm done.

I know this is not very Christian of me, but my wish is for every one of those cops and the person who directed them to come down with coronavirus. They should have a bad case, but not die. Just suffer. The same for all the governors who are making things worse for everybody. It's about time this ends!

Ugly totalitarianism rearing it's head again and again.
This has to be sorted out in the courts when we get through this.

The rest of the folks on the bus had masks on, so what was the danger for them? The man"may" have been endangering himself, but not them. The majority of the cops were a little on the chubby side too. Notice how the righteous mask wearing lemmings on the bus were all quiet and offered no support for the minority who was also a minority in that he wasn't wearing a mask as each one of them were free to do or not do. Where's black lives matter? Assie (Al and Jessie combined)? CN freakin N? Where are you punks? You couldn't pay me to live in liberal utopian cities.

I am reminded of the New York City bus driver who was recklessly coughed on by a female passenger, caught the virus, and then died. A considerate person wears a mask in enclosed public places such as a bus or subway. I don't mind seeing this kind of person being removed. No one has the right to endanger my health because of ignorance and selfishness. I certainly would have felt that way had I been on the bus.

Yes, they are patrolling mostly in the urban areas, but some are out in the small towns, too. Was leaving our grocery store in a town of 3000 and sure enough a cop car pulled up to the entrance of the parking lot and stopped to monitor the number of vehicles in the lot. Terrific.

There can be an uprising, but we need to make sure we are standing on principle and facts. This is a task for very committed Catholics and Evangelical Protestants, those who take their religious faith seriously. This is not a task for the faint of heart. First, one must be willing and able to possibly sit in a jail cell for a few days.
1) Go around town and film the activities of drive through restaurants. Go during lunch hours where you will catch many cars driving up for food. And remember, it's okay to film in public. But don't stand in the restaurant's parking lot. You will be hauled off by the manager.
2) Make sure you zoom in to show hand movements between the passengers in the cars and the restaurant workers. Are the workers wearing gloves? Are they changing their gloves between patrons? If not, they are on weak legal ground.
3) DARE to get several to many churchgoers to meet on church property. Everybody stays in their cars with the windows rolled up. Maker sure someone is filming all of this to indicate all windows are up and proper "social distancing" is kept. The courageous pastor is filmed in front of the crowd delivering the word of God.
4) Wait for the police to show up to break the "crowd" up. Make sure you are close enough to videotape and audiotape their words. Stay calm. But don't leave. See how tyrannical and brutal they are willing to get. Don't let them intimidate you into turning off your cameras. Many cops don't have a clue about the Constitution and what your rights are. And you WILL need to film them. I've filmed plenty of cops. They WILL trip up owing to their ignorance and arrogance.
Here's what the state will need to prove in court: 1) Why is the drive through restaurant considered "essential" and the church service considered "non essential?" Bold Catholics will need to take this into consideration: Is the priest going to be willing to admit that the Eucharist is "not essential" for you as a Catholic? Because that is what it all boils down to. You'll find the answer in the Bible and in the Catechism. This gets a little more difficult for Protestants, since they don't have the Eucharist. You'll need to discuss these matters with your bold pastor. If the food that is being served in the drive through can also be purchased in the grocery store, then how can the state justify allowing the restaurants with drive through service to operate?
You will need to contact a First Amendment law firm BEFOREHAND to make sure you are on firm legal ground. Because a judge can rule against you. The law firm will be the ones that will know the ins and outs of the legal landscape you wish to navigate.
The state's positions to censor Christian worship will fall apart because their DOUBLE STANDARDS and inconsistencies will be exposed.
Good luck.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the mask protect the wearer (somewhat)? The man not wearing one was more at risk. The cop wasn't sporting one.
Unsurprisingly, it was handled badly.

This man is going to sue the SEPTA, the bus driver, the police, the mayor, and Philadelphia. And he will win. No one, not the police, not the mayor, not the governor, not even the President, no one in US government has the power to tell Americans that they must wear a yellow star! Qualified immunity does not protect officers enforcing illegal orders. And the icing on the cake? The cop's mask isn't properly worn.
