…county leaders will need to stand strong in the face of police unions, which have already come out swinging against any citizen oversight. Steadman Stahl, president of the South Florida Police Benevolent Association union, told the Herald, “They want to be totally independent. They answer to nobody. I think that’s kind of dangerous.”
Here’s what’s far more dangerous: cowardly politicians who create a lapdog panel and ensure that it is the police who answer to nobody. Out-of-control police officers are dangerous, too. It’s time to stop giving them cover.

Miami-Dade County is being driving by county and city politicians and business interest groups such as chambers of commerce.

Evidence is that infection cases have risen during June as the opening is happening.

Many, many county residents are mostly undisciplined using masks and keeping social distances.

Be careful, we are headed for rising cases.

COVID-19 CRISIS: Florida with Ambiguous COVID Outcome

June 4, 2020 Leave a comment

The government of Florida seems to be pushing people away from social distancing and mitigation. A great many residents have interpreted current opening stage events as signals leading to erasing social contact and mitigation. We see the parties, the social events, the lunches, dinners and the stores and beaches with indifferent social distancing and masking. The likelihood of 2nd or 3rd rising COVID-19 infections is increasing.
