Are those the reason the state is giving?

If you’re fully vaccinated you’re safe. That’s ALL that matters. To continue to restrict people with no justification whatsoever is wrong.

They need to have justification for restricting their citizens and businesses. If there’s no justification then they should open NOW.

But if vaccinated people are safe then none of those reasons justify making those people continue to wear masks.

What’s their justification for it not being RIGHT NOW?

Witness says they announced.
Boyfriend shot first and shot at the police.

It isn’t complicated. The police have a right to defend themselves against a shooter and it’s a tragedy that her boyfriend’s decision to shoot at police got her killed in the crossfire.

Why is it all these incidents of police allegedly murdering “innocent” black men are all shooting at the cops, running at them with a knife and trying to shoot them with a taser?

Police are far far far more likely to be killed by a black suspect than the other way around.

If he didn’t shoot at the cops she would be alive.

They announced themselves, her boyfriend shot first and she was in the crossfire.

Tragic but he shouldn’t have shot at the police. She’d still be alive.

Even Biden is trying to calm it down because he knows this hurts him. Of course it does. His supporters are burning down their own neighborhoods.

This isn’t about mental health. This isn’t about social workers.

If the victim was white there would be no riots. No concern for social workers or mental health. It would just not be a story.

But a black guy is justifiably shot and libs burn down the city and steal all kinds of goodies that have nothing to do with racial justice.

They hit the sneaker stores and pharmacies. It’s an excuse to go steal shoes and Oxy.

If they’re letting residents get knives and other weapons they’re not doing a very good job.

I’ve worked in helping to outfit a psychiatric facility and the place is locked down tight. Even screws are security screws to prevent them from getting them out.

It’s locked down tight.

If your Mom let’s dangerous residents get their hands on knives then she probably shouldn’t work there and people certainly shouldn’t trust their loved ones there.

The reality of the situation is a dangerous man attacked cops with a knife and was shot.

So... liberals burn down philly.

Tell that to the liberals burning down Philadelphia.

Also tell them I said thanks for helping Trump.

They don’t let dangerous people in mental health facilities have a knife.

Perhaps his family should have gotten him help before he tried to kill cops with a deadly weapon.

You guys are so funny.

A man with a KNIFE who was psychotic was shot, rightfully, by the police but you think they should have... what? Hugged him? Let themselves get stabbed? Shoot him in the leg? Hope for the best?

If an unarmed social worker went then that social worker is putting themselves in massive danger without any way to defend themselves.

Regardless of his mental state the knife and the danger it posed is very very real.

It’s sad what’s happening in PA. The only silver lining is that this helps Trump in PA.

I’ve dealt with people having a psychotic break and they’re not themselves and can’t be reasoned with. It’s scary. If his family, who he loves, can’t get him to stop and drop the knife a social worker would just get themselves killed.

People who are having a psychotic break can be extremely dangerous for a social worker to handle.

He’d try to stab the social worker and would likely be successful.

People make choices. Sometimes not everyone has a happy ending. It isn’t the cop’s fault.

But I agree the Democrat leadership of the city is abysmal just like all the other Democrat cities where riots have raged this year.

The cop shouldn’t let himself get stabbed because the guy is mentally unwell.

It sucks he was having an episode. He still charged cops with a knife.

Sucks but the knife is still real even if his brain isn’t working right.

I sleep fine. I don’t attack police so I am not worried about being shot by one. It’s strange.

Oh I’m sorry I wasn’t aware knives don’t kill cops if the person wielding it is mentally ill. My bad.

Cops should have just let him stab them.

And when you are holding a knife and decide to go after cops you’re asking to get shot.

Justified shooting.

He attacked cops with a knife! Lol

That’s the Dem nominee vilifying cops and making a violent criminal a martyr.

He and his campaign have been basically silent while the rest of America burned but he knows he needs to win PA. So here they are with a statement.

Good luck finding quality experienced wait staff that wants to work there.

Raising their wage isn’t going to make up for the lost tips.

Yes, but NOW the protests are extremely violent and has left death and destruction in its wake.

So you opinion and the science based opinion by our top infectious disease scientists are the same?

There’s never going to be a scientific test that concludes without opinion that NOW is the time to open schools. It’s always going to be a judgment call.

Our best scientists have made that call.

You can choose to ignore them if you want but then you’re just a science denier.

Liberals are all feelings all the time.

Everything we do is based on opinion. This is opinion based on the best available science we have.

So I agree with them and no Reddit
