Curfew Cop Coronavirus Rant

Please excuse the rant, but dealt with this curfew bs Saturday night. It’s run it’s course and glad it’s over after tomorrow. All of the other major cities have ended them already. They should try enforcing mask wearing instead of this, the virus is out of control... again! Went to Bklyn in a car as, well, have barely left my apt. for 3 months and wanted to get out for a few hours, is that so horrible? Yet I couldn’t get back to the city, even though I live here and we got back got to Bridges at 7:45pm. Curfew was supposed to be 8pm, no? Cops we tried to get answers from came to window, none wearing masks, not a one, and they knew nothing. Traffic was a clusterfuck, and tunnels were closed too. Why tunnels? Are people going to march though tunnels? They’d rather people drive in circles for hours around the city til 5am or sleep in cars? Anyway, parked in Brooklyn and took subway to get home in the end. First world conplaints? Ok, perhaps, but just like this country with Coronavirus and income inequality and racism my point is there is no plan, no progress, the only plan as always seems to be to make shit up as each problem arises and make things worse it seems to keep us off our game. Why a line of police in riot gear stopping anyone from coming home on bridges? Makes me think of Trump at the borders. 2.5 hours later after being right at the bridge in Brooklyn we got home. Phone was dead and had I not thought “maybe subway is open” we would’ve been sleeping in car and the cops could give a shit, like they could give a shit about the protestors they’ve arrested and crammed together into crowded holding cells, sans masks. What was the point of this? “No looting” seems to be of paramount importance but it seems like no protesting period was the reason. That’s anti-Democracy. Nothing and nobody else was considered either. I live and pay taxes in Manhattan and I couldn’t get back home. I don’t own a car myself, happened to be in one, but what was the point of keeping people out and away from home and enforcing a curfew a half hour before it was supposed to be? Making people who have cars park far away from where they live? Lying to people, essentially. Sound familiar? So much in this country needs changing its mindboggling. It feels like there’s no one in charge, and those with some common sense haven’t enough. I’ve always given DeBlasio a flyer but man, he has no clue. The episode just made me more pissed then I already was at cops and the powers that be. Vote them all out in November, time to start anew bc this country is f’d up.
