It would have been a lot easier for the guy to just leave but not sure arguing about a mask as you walk out is worth of having a taser drawn on you and being arrested. I like the radio call at the end of the clip, “still uncooperative” as the guy stands still with his hands in the air.
Seems to me that’s what happens when a fellow talks too much. If the store and or city required it, especially the store, I would have just worn it…at least as a courtesy. It’s their store not mine. No shoes, no shirt, no mask, no service. Yes, wearing mandated masks has some liberty issues attached that need to be worked out, but that’s not the hill I’m going to fight a cop on and wind up in jail.
I would agree. Just pointing out the place we seem to be in the US. The cop went straight to 100mph over a mask, especially when it seems like he was called out for having it pulled down below his nose/mouth.
Fauci said you have to wear 2 masks!!
Also, there’s never going to be a hill to die on. It’s not how this works. No one is throwing you in the fire, it’s just a slow boil

All you A-holes that refuse to wear eye-shields are the ones that piss me off. You can get it through your eyes you fools! It’s unsafe to walk around with out eye shields or a scuba mask!!! Stop killing people with your eyes!!!
Ahem…
What our push back should have been isn’t “no masks”, it should have been ‘give us masks that work’. Until you have an N95, you really aren’t protecting yourself. Look at CA- a lock-down and masking dream and a COVID nightmare. I’ll wear a mask when the govt provides one that works.
The officer’s response seemed disproportionate, including his attitude when he initiated contact.
Ummmm…Cali is open! All systems are go! Covid was only a problem in Trump’s presidency. Quite manageable now

Just make sure you wear two mask even after you get vaccinated.
Cop won’t follow the rules he’s using lethal force to enforce?
F the cop. F anybody that supports this bullsh*t.

**** masks, Can we please stop the charade. They don’t work. It’s just a feel good measure. You look like a retard.
And that cop is a Homo.
29 seconds from the time the officer told the man to leave the store until the man walked out the door. Officer was on a short fuse power trip.
Hot head, his first words were “WHERE’S YOUR MASK”.

Agreed. It’s a retarded charade. Pretty much everyone in public wears them here, and yet the magical (fake) Rona cases are still spiking??? Um… ok… which lie are we supposed to hang our mask on???
It’s about control. If it was about health, the mandate would be a face shield and an N95.

To protect and serve yeah sure !!
And to use the 1st yeah no more shut up
Some cops are smart sadly many are not will be curious what happens to this one
I can say my brother being a prosecutor has said cops screw up cases so much its insane how many step over and out of bounds
Hope the guy looses his job and gets arressted and sentenced and jailed as would a civilian for tasing another
I find that when someone, cop, or otherwise is busting my chops, I clam up and walk away, unless of course that’s the day you’ve decided that a tasing, fist fight, jail time is in order. He should have done that. Is it a good idea to start talking to a guy with a taser and a gun who already seems to be bent, talking about his not wearing his mask right and playing stupid about the law requiring it? Just be quiet and walk away. But yeah, go toe toe with the cop, show him you have rights, skin that smoke wagon and really show him.
Here’s an example. Last week I was at an In and Out burger waiting for a refill on my ice tea. I was standing about 3 to 4 feet from this black dude finishing his order, I wasn’t really paying attention to the details…just standing quietly with my cup. He goes outside, I get my tea and go outside. He takes a couple steps toward me and says “With all due respect, you were all up in my business”. I looked at him for a second, didn’t say a word and walked away. That’s a situation that can go south real fast in this day and age. It wasn’t worth my time and energy.
And, yes, there are hills that are worth dying on.
We’re gonna stick you - UN-masked - in a jail full of guys - un-masked - in close quarters, to learn you a lesson. :rolleyes:
Still doesn’t make the officer right.

Of course not, but what’s to be gained by pissing off the cop even more by jaw boning him about his own mask failure? Maybe it’s that I’m old and don’t want to get punched in the head at my age. I find being quiet in tight situations and getting out of Dodge goes a long way to making my life livable. There will come a day, the way things have been going, when that probably won’t be possible. And it’s not going to be because I just couldn’t mind my own business.
