LOL, that doesn't make them unsafe. I'd say criminals make the subway unsafe, versus your fear porn about a Fauci-funded virus with a 99+ percent survival rate.

And you didn't want to post this in Subchat because they'd slam you harder over there?

I don’t condone the cops’ actions, but maybe he should have minded his own business and not harassed them?

Challenging the cops is never a good idea, but in this case, the straphanger is right. If the police are to enforce the law, as Eliot Ness is reputed to have said (the line was used in The Untouchables), they must do so first by example.

True, but just about everybody else did. By late Spring of 2020, you had to wear a mask almost everywhere, indoors or outdoors, in Philly. I remember one report about a passenger on a SEPTA bus near City Hall, who didn't have a mask on. Without hesitation, the cops picked him up, and bodily hurled him off the bus.

After that video circulated in the media for a few days, everybody the message.

Executive orders are the same as federal legislation. In fact, the announcements and signage you hear or see in places like airports and intercity train stations regarding mask usage begin with "federal law [still] requires..."

I am not a member of the NYPD. However,based on my prior experience, these orders come with exceptions and exemptions. One that comes to mind is if the mask wearing interferes with someone's performance as a police officer.

Lets keep our priorities in order, shall we? I'm sure subway riders are more concerned about being pushed in front of a train or being slashed by a skel on a train than having a few cops on patrol w/o masks.

From the NY Post article: "The NYPD’s vaccination rate is 69 percent — lower than the city average. Department rules require cops to mask up while on the job or else face discipline.

The incident is under internal review, an NYPD spokesperson said."

I'm sure subway riders are more concerned about being pushed in front of a train or being slashed by a skel on a train than having a few cops on patrol w/o masks.

Those that have other travel options have opted not to return to the subway. One fear is catching Covid. That mask requirements are not enforced and even flouted by those empowered to enforce these requirements re-enforces the message not to come back.

Do you have emotional problems, fidget? We are talking about one edict by one puppet president. Do you plan on recounting every executive order by every president to justify one particularly bad one by this president.

I don't have any graphs or stats to back this up but I'll be willing to go way out on a limb and say that your chances of dying as a result of being a victim of a crime in the subway is a million times greater than catching & dying of covid caught from an unmasked policeman

I know this is a mistake, but many riders will think their masks will give them sufficient protection against the occasional unmasked person. And given a choice between the unmasked cop and no cop at all, 99% will choose having a cop.

The people, through their elected officials, did make a decision. That decision was that masks have to worn on public transit and in other places. They hire police to enforce such decisions.

I would do ZERO enforcement on that nonsense.

Police do not have the option to decide which of these decisions is nonsense.

If individual police officers have a conscientious reason for not enforcing such decisions, they should seek different employment.

I am concerned about both. Since I am vaccinated, a criminal attack is far more likely than a covid infection to cause me serious harm.

But if I get a mild covid infection and pass it along to my wife, the results could be disastrous. Who the hell do public servants think they are to expose my wife to such a deadly risk?
