Ok, I''l bite....
1. Cop was a Di*k. There's way better ways to approach this situation.
2. The cop didn't just show up there so what caused someone to call the police on the guy?
3. The guy was armed with a pistol, not complying to officer's instructions (rude instructions) and breaking the law (no matter how ridiculous the law was)
4. The city ordinance that a mask is required is stupid but it's a law that was created by the local government, like it or not.
5. If a hot head cop walks in, approaches you in a hot head manner and you decide to argue with said hot head cop, while armed with a pistol, you're probably not going to come out on top at least in that skirmish of the battle you decided to enter into.
We don't have any laws here about mask wearing. The shops have signs requiring masks before entry. I haven't heard of any shops refusing service around here for no mask but if they do and the customer doesn't comply, they can have them removed by police for defiant trespass.
Police, especially ones who are like minded individuals like us, are between a rock and a hard place. I personally don't believe in the mask crap and I basically only wear a mask where I know I would be denied entry otherwise. Luckily, I know that I won't be put in this situation where I work so I feel for other officers that have to enforce laws that they don't believe in.
