From what people were saying on Twitter, you can't get a doctor's exception. You gotta convince the cop that you need it for health reasons. I'm sure that will go well.

[-] Posadas@hexbear.net 86 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Be sick.

Cop forces you to take off your mask.

You cough in the direction of the cop.

Get arrested for assaulting a cop.

From what I remember NYC cops died of covid at one of the highest rates of any group of people in the country.

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 37 points 3 months ago

Cops in general did. It was the leading cause of death for cops, followed by car accidents from not wearing seatbelts and heart attacks from sitting in their cars all the time.

One of my favorite bits is to get mad and call cops pussies when people say cops have a dangerous job because my former job of Pizza Delivery Driver was significantly more dangerous and we weren’t allowed to carry weapons

I remember that; wasn't the NYPD the same guys wearing the 'I can breathe' shirts at one point as counter protest after murdering someone? I recall reading someone saying after this came out they donated a bunch of those 'I can breathe shirts' to the NYPD during covid, lol

Big time us-foreign-policy for medical exemption incoming

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 3 months ago

Idk. Cops hate being questioned so don't even see that working

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago

Plus the cops will probably just associate the masks with leftists and punish you for it unless you do like a white power sign or something.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 69 points 3 months ago

This has to be illegal.

Lmao the west is crumbling so hard.

[-] Vampire@hexbear.net 21 points 3 months ago
[-] hallmarkxmasmovie@hexbear.net 35 points 3 months ago

those were all put into place pre covid though.

and unless i'm missing something in that article, they're all white countries other than hong kong. might as well be 'the west.'

[-] jaywalker@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

Most of the countries in that list are western?

So the fact that this will kill people is obviously awful, you should be allowed to wear a mask to protect your health without having to convince a cop

But also, you should be allowed to wear a mask to protect your identity in public. Anonymity should be a right and if you want to go out in public dressed in a full morph suit to hide your identity that should be allowed.

this is a plot from the clown makeup industry to turn everyone into juggalos since juggalo paint defeats facial recognition

The original mask laws in the us were mostly passed during one of the big Ku Klux Klan waves and had some legitimate purpose. Now, though, it's pure reactionary bs.

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 29 points 3 months ago

I’ll be honest I feel like there are plenty of ways to ban the Klan without banning mask wearing, and the hoods are pretty low on my list of reasons the Klan is bad

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I don’t think it was aesthetic purposes. It was because they hid their faces. The US can’t ban the klan or else the founding fathers will haunt the president or something idk it’s in the constitution

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 20 points 3 months ago

Many of them were anti-labor as well.

[-] Crikeste@lemm.ee 20 points 3 months ago

1: Get Covid

2: Don’t break the law and wear a mask

3: Be around police officers, coughin’ and shit

I fucking hate Long Island with a passion. Everyone I know that comes from there sucks shit.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 29 points 3 months ago

Hey come on, some of us are stuck here!

I'm a factory schmuck that is completely worthless on paper. I have no idea how to secure another shit job that will be willing to wait for me to find an "apartment" willing to take me in without x months already working at the job.

But yeah, most people on long Island suuuuuuuuuck. It's one of the many reasons I want to leave so bad...

[-] GeorgeZBush@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

Yeah damn sorry you're stuck there. I'm upstate and it's not much better than. My boss is from Huntington and she sucks. Literally the worst type of Zionist evangelical MAGA freak.

[-] BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 25 points 3 months ago

The worst people I have ever known have all come from either Long Island, Westchester, or Staten Island. They're the reason cops are so beloved in NYC.

[-] Posadas@hexbear.net 25 points 3 months ago

They're also where all the city cops live.

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 20 points 3 months ago

I feel like it should be obvious that cops should be required to live in the district of their precinct

We don't deserve privacy, because they say we might be criminals. But when the state is criminal, it's a crime to expose it.

[-] Posadas@hexbear.net 24 points 3 months ago

Too good for us I say.

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 33 points 3 months ago

I don't live there, but after seeing how the small business tyrants lobbied and agitated to kill as many immunocompromised people as possible where I live, I decided I would become the kind of person who doesn't go out and spend money to be social anymore, no matter what happened in terms of the pandemic.

fuck them all.

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

Remember, 'stop buying outside food and make it at home' and 'stop buying the latest iphone', but also 'eat out to help out' and 'buy the latest iphone'.

The comments 'stop buying avocado toast' and 'buy avocado toast' by the same people are literally only a few years apart, lol

unfathomable levels of evil, every person who voted for this should be murdered in front of their family

[-] Fatdork2@hexbear.net 28 points 3 months ago

That's my island! Love this place. Full of chuds everywhere you go. Apparently the head Nassau County official is some huge right wing culture warrior guy. Insane place.

[-] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 26 points 3 months ago

This is very unhinged. That is all. What a gross nation.

[-] Posadas@hexbear.net 25 points 3 months ago

This atrocity of legislation brought to you by the spawning pit of levittown suburbanization.

Why is it called Nassau :/

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 3 months ago

Of course for the British dynasty of Nassau, which was Dutch dynasty named for the town of Nassau in Germany. Just monarchist things.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago
