Editorial: Police departments are starting to ignore power hungry governors’ overreach

As “America Held Hostage-Chinese Coronavirus” enters it’s 6th week, police administrators across the country are starting to take a stand against power-hungry politicians who are trying to use law enforcement agencies as some kind of quasi-Gestapo.
