Perhaps it is time for all law enforcement officers to LEAVE CALIFORNIA and when those idiots of Holly WEIRD and SACRA MENTAL discover they have no protection they might - MIGHT begin to see how crazy they have been. Then when the idiots begin to cry out to LAW ENFORCEMENT to help them they can HEAR - SORRY we are on a coffee break - help your self.
The entire state of California has become an insane asylum - the INMATES truly are running the place.

Gov Newsom signs bill, now legal for citizens to refuse police officers’ request for help
September 4, 2019 | Frieda Powers | Print ArticleGov. Gavin Newsom just made it legal for anyone in the state of California to refuse to help a police officer requesting assistance.
The California Democrat on Tuesday signed into law a bill that struck down a more than century-old law which required any “able-bodied person 18 years of age or older” to assist a police officer who requested help during an arrest, The Sacramento Bee reported.

The California Posse Comitatus Act of 1872 was used to help catch runaway slaves and made it a misdemeanor to refuse an officer’s request for assistance. Hertzberg, a Los Angeles Democrat, proposed repealing the law after he asked his staff to “take a look into bills that were still on the books that were antiquated or no longer needed,” his press secretary Katie Hanzlik told The Sacramento Bee back in February.
“This one definitely fits the bill, and it also happens to be that the senator has a history of supporting or passing laws that minimize unnecessary fines and charges against Californians,” she said.
Newsom did not issue a statement after he signed the bill on Tuesday, but the California State Sheriff’s Association made it clear they were not in favor of the move.
“There are situations in which a peace officer might look to private persons for assistance in matters of emergency or risks to public safety and we are unconvinced that this statute should be repealed,” the group said in a statement.
The old law carried a fine of up to $1,000 for refusing to help a police officer’s request for help in making an arrest or recapturing a suspect fleeing custody “or preventing a breach of the peace or the commission of any criminal offense.”
According to The Bee:
- That law stems from the California’s wild frontier days, when peace officers were scarce and outlaws were plenty. But it’s roots go back much further: Posse comitatus draws its origins from medieval England.
- It has a history of being invoked in different forms throughout America’s early history, including through the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act, which empowered federal marshals to form posses to hunt and re-capture escaped slaves, according to Washington Post columnist and historian Dave Kopel.
Twitter users unloaded on Newsom for signing the bill repealing the 150-year-old law.
- What this goober is doing to California is criminal. Slowly ripping the fabric of laws. Newsom signs bill repealing a 100+ year law allowing police officers to require citizens to assist . What a shame he has so little respect for our men/women in BLUE https://t.co/zYKZASNtIT

- This is what the California legislature and governor think is important to spend time on. And the SF board of Supervisors declare the NRA a terrorist organization. God help us. https://t.co/7h04RYsuxr
