The police chiefs response was that the officer was unaware of the stores mask policies.

I'll just say I'm skeptical.

So was he telling white people to take their masks off too?

I was walking around the other day wondering how the masks haven't been a bigger issue. Ive been wearing a cloth mask for a few weeks in the store. At first I got looks, now I get asked where I got them.


Most of the shoppers in the store are wearing masks, at a time when police are being instructed to write summons in lieu of jail. Im actually shocked the two haven't made things a little crazier.

Maybe if they didn't rob every fricking thing they'd get the benefit of the doubt now and again.




These guys weren’t robbing anyone. They’re wearing surgical masks during a pandemic, something that others in the store were doing without issue.

The officer messed up here.

Next time wear the full face, shoulder length ones made from white sheets with the protective pointed hat.

I thought this was from 3 weeks ago when the CDC was telling people not to wear masks so they would not gobble them up like toilet paper.

Yeah I didn't read the article and couldn't care less about who was at fault. I just saw "2 men kicked out of Walmart". I can barely get my wife to join me at Walmart with the Corona thing. Thought it was funny. Go save the world though.

Face masks aren’t going to do anything but hurt the person wearing them.

You have to have the correct kind and most people I see wearing them are only covering up their mouths.

I was trying to look for other people wearing masks but didn't see any. I easily could have missed them or just couldn't tell. But did you actually see anyone in that video wearing a mask?

Obviously if the cop wasn't telling anyone else to remove their masks and only told them and they weren't doing anything wrong then it's fricked up. But I doubt that's what happened here.

“Don’t worry, it’s all on my body camera. You know, the one that your taxes paid for. Go ahead and go to the PD HQ and request a copy. Don’t be surprised if the images were lost/corrupted. But that’s a good thing because we would have charged you hundreds of dollars to compensate for the cost of DVDs you taxpayers already bought once and we need to charge you for the time an employee whose salary is paid by the public to do the data transfer. And if you’re lucky, no one will tail you on the way home and stop you for no reason other than retaliation.”
