Oh, and another thing.

"police handed out steep tickets for violations"

Middle of last year, I'm walking alone, all by myself, on a city street in Condado, no one anywhere near me, 100 yards away maybe the closest person. I'm walking back to the apartment from Walgreens, I'm not wearing a mask.

Cop car pulls over to the curb, calls for my attention. I look. There are FOUR COPS IN THE CAR, ostensibly four cops on the beat for mask scofflaws. I tried to have a civil conversation with them about the uselessness of masks (which *was* known back then). Made no difference. Didn't get ticketed, but put my mask on...until they turned the corner.

Crime here - especially violent and drug-related crime - is epidemic. And our idiot governor Wanda (at the time), or her police chief, thought it was a wise use of resources to stick FOUR COPS in a cruiser to harass single, solitary people walking around maskless.

The stupidity and tyranny here runs deep.
