A detective with the Keene Police Department, the agency responsible for enforcing the citys new indoor mask mandate, suggested last week that people disobey that policy.
In a Facebook comment, Lt. Jason Short equated supporters of the mask requirement, which the City Council adopted last Thursday to help curb a recent spike in COVID-19 cases, to the bad guys in movies who think theyre helping society.
It is only when the good guy stands up to them that they realize they are wrong, Short said in the comment. Citizens need to stand up and stop simply complying to this nonsense mandates [sic].
Wednesday afternoon, the comment appeared to have been deleted.
But other comments Short made on the mask mandate were still on Facebook at the time, including one in which he said City Council chooses to ignore common sense. In a separate Facebook comment, in response to a Sentinel story about the mask ordinance, he claimed falsely that the new rules are not law.

Come on, big man. Step right up and be the next entrant on sorryantivaxxer.com
I'm sure the police department will give you a 21 gun salute, play the bagpipes, and all that great stuff that happens when a Cop dies. Even a stupid Cop.

(14,595 posts)Thank goodness what a police detective thinks or says about global pandemic issues means nothing. Zero.
However, he should be called out and disciplined by the city for his potential terrible influence on their youth.

It's kind of a cultural experiment - Just pop over the border and you can see the differences in how people react to masks.
