We do wish we had more context around this video; there are activists protesting New York City’s vaccine passport rules and getting arrested on purpose. This doesn’t seem to be that kind of situation, though, especially with a little boy involved. As you know, you’re not allowed to sit down at a restaurant in New York City if you can’t show proof of vaccination, and it’s left to the police to enforce it. We suppose it’s nice they gave the offenders the right to leave peacefully before they were arrested for trespassing.
What a lovely new world we are living in when you go out for a meal and a squad of police barge in, persecute a little boy then demand to see everyone else’s papers. This is the vax passport world so many are begging for. #NotAboutAVirus #NOVAXPASSPORTS pic.twitter.com/ZQFnybs4ly

Sometimes it’s really hard to back the blue. Rioters in 2020 were treated better.
Evil. Gestapo. KGB.
NYPD Attacking a 5 year old eating pizza? Take off your badges, oath breakers.
New York City is a failed state.

REMINDER: COVID has been a tremendous long-term success for the communists. On top of everything else, they managed to purge much of the military and big city police forces of anything resembling a political enemy. They getting what they’ve always wanted: A monopoly on force. https://t.co/O3mB5cxjMP

If you’re a cop and you’re standing in a restaurant demanding vaccine papers from a family trying to enjoy a meal, just know you’re the bad guy. You are. You’re the one they write history books about and people ask, “How could men do such things?”
“Just following orders”. Barf.

It’s all about the pension.

Silly me, I didn’t see the NYPD turning so fast – scary.

I don't understand why NYC can treat people like that when they're going to have 50,000 "vaccinated" people at the ball drop. Someone needs to whisper to the powers that be that the virus can still spread like crazy, vaxxed or not. That's much worse than one guy eating out.

And it was during a discussion of New Year’s Eve in Times Square that Dr. Leana Wen let loose on CNN that “cloth masks are little more than facial decoration.”
I come from an NYPD family, seeing this is an incredible bummer.

This is terrible, but bear in mind:
New York voted for this.

“I can’t lose my pension. It’s the only thing that makes this thankless, underpaying, dangerous job worth it”. OK, have fun explaining to your grandkids in 30 years how to earn that pension you had to harass and almost arrest a father just trying to get his kids some breakfast.

Especially knowing that that President Biden was wrong and the vaccinated can still spread the virus.
The police are quickly losing my support, especially since they have purged conservatives from their ranks by imposing useless mandates.

A future cop hater caused by cops who ask why the public no longer respects them.
Just doing my job.

Democrats claim these rules are in the “interest of public health”.
Then why did they send a dozen officers who aren’t socially distanced to go within 6 feet of these supposedly dangerous people?
This probably spread more virus than if they just left them alone and let them eat pic.twitter.com/Z46SUuzs5m

Kids gotta carry a vax card to eat but adults can’t produce photo ID to vote. What a joke.

All the people praising this insanity in the comments need to take a history class.

No cries to defund the police here I see. If the NYPD has this much time and resources to do this then maybe they should cut their budget.
— G Evans (@gevans245) December 28, 2021
We really hope we’re getting this wrong. Some people are pointing out that the family must have known the rules before entering the establishment, and they knew they were breaking the rules. That’s still a lot of cops to escort a family out of a restaurant.
