What a lowdown f-ing snake

California’s Newsom signs bill allowing citizens to refuse to help a police officer

I pray for the day a cop spots 'Gordon Gekko' sprawled out on a SF street  begging for help and promptly kicks him in the balls.

PS:

Mark my words the bastard will run for POTUS in 2024. If I was to hazard a guess he won't be getting much support from law enforcement across the country.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, on Tuesday, signed a bill that no longer requires any "able-bodied person 18 years of age or older" in the state to help an officer who requests assistance during an arrest.

The Sacramento Bee reported that the old law, the California Posse Comitatus Act of 1872, was common in the country’s early days, but Sen. Bob Hertzberg, a Los Angeles Democrat who sponsored the bill, called the old law a “vestige of a bygone era." The law was employed to help catch runaway slaves, the report said.

The old law made it a misdemeanor that carried a fine of up to $1,000 for refusing to help a police officer who requested assistance during an arrest.

The report said Newsom did not issue a statement after signing the bill.
