Government overreach in some states has sparked some protest, and one of those places was near San Diego, California. In Encinitas, a few people showed up at a beach that had been closed and, and they were immediately dealt with by police enforcing social distancing executive orders by violating social distancing guidelines. Here’s video:

It’s gotten surreal.
A growing number of people are done with the lockdown. Politicians might want to get out in front of it. https://t.co/4AtzlnAmNy

They said if Trump won, we'd have a fascist state where the first amendment was suspended and people would be arrested for assembly and protesting government. https://t.co/UFjP5f1hAQ

Well thank Gawd those cops are keeping us safe from the beaches. ? This is all so damn dumb.

Just a little dumb.
San Diego's streets are overflowing with homeless, addicts openly using drugs, and illegals with criminal records. Look at all these resources being used to arrest taxpayers looking to use an OPEN stretch of the beach they pay for https://t.co/wEClREcPoN

They should have just told them they were homeless. Not even being funny. They can't arrest the homeless. https://t.co/wEClREcPoN

California’s progressive politicians would be given the ultimate dilemma if protesters would say they’re in the country illegally and are seeking sanctuary.
A beach. In the sunshine.
This is what it's come to, you guys. https://t.co/kOGRKaYVke

Isn't this the state where you can shoplift up to like $750 and not get arrested?

Imagine being a grown adult and your job is to play dress up and stop other humans from walking on specific areas of sand. https://t.co/YZkqLOX3WU

Fresh air. Wide open spaces. And sunlight kills coronavirus.
Keeping people safe is NOT what's going on here. https://t.co/Sn3PMtQ6rI

Are you okay with this overreach by our law enforcement officers? Where is the line between following lawful orders and enforcing un-Constitutional decrees by tyrannical government officials? https://t.co/PPHe9B5dmA

Arrested for going to the beach, even after public health authorities confirm the virus dies in sunlight, heat & humidity. Our politicians need a little more sunlight, heat & humidity. #ConstitutionOverCoronavirus https://t.co/S7u0aJ4D5o

This is ridiculous and I can tell you the cops hate it, Democrat run state.

When this ends we'll have to spend some time revisiting how, in America, we started routinely arresting people for publicly organizing to protest bans on publicly organizing. https://t.co/ozR6WzfRYJ

There are a lot of things that need to be addressed when this is all over — or even before.
