Sheriffs Won't Enforce Newsom's Curfew

California county sheriffs are rebelling against Gov. Gavin Newsom by not enforcing Newsom's 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. curfew.

According to Newsweek:

Multiple California sheriffs say they will refuse to enforce California Governor Gavin Newsom's new curfew designed to slow the rapid spread of COVID-19.

Newsom announced on Thursday that due to the virus "spreading at a pace we haven't seen since the start of this pandemic," he was issuing a "limited" stay-at-home order that will go into effect on Saturday, including a curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. in areas that comprise over 94 percent of the state's population. Shortly after the announcement was made, several county sheriffs insisted they would defy the governor by not enforcing the curfew.

Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims said that she would refuse to "make criminals out of normally law abiding citizens" by enforcing the order during a news briefing, adding that she had not "seen any data that shows" the virus spreads more at night. When announcing the order, Newsom said that the curfew was intended to limit opportunities for the virus to spread by reducing the amount of overall contacts between people.

King Gavin Orders One Month Curfew For California

Why would any of you Californians listen to Newsom. He's a proven hypocrite. This is authoritarianism. - David Gold, former talk-radio host.

Every day that King Gavin of California hands down an edict to the pions, the more grateful I am that I moved out of the state.

The latest (from The Hill):

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday announced a one-month curfew to combat the rising spread of COVID-19.

Newsom tweeted that the curfew would go into effect Saturday beginning at 10 p.m. and last for the next month. Gatherings and nonessential work will be prohibited from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. in purple-tier counties.  

Newsom faced significant backlash over the past week for attending a 12-person birthday party for his adviser at a Napa Valley restaurant just as California became the second state to reach 1 million COVID-19 cases.

Gee, I wonder if Twitter feels that posts like these are promoting violence?

Wonder why we need magazines that hold more than ten rounds?

This brings back memories of 27 years ago when the L.A. riots took place in the aftermath of the Rodney King verdict.

I received a text message from the City of Los Angeles a little while ago (I still have my L.A. phone number):
