Where is the SWAT team?

Another perfectly accurate representation of reality from gatewaypundit. They don't at all embellish for effect and this isn't yellow journalism.

For the record 6 deputies showed up according to the pastor's own statement, not 40 as claimed by gateway's stellar journalists.

Who let the cops in? Without a warrant or some kind of exigent circumstances I don't see how they can force their way in. Is there something in any of these constitutional stomping health code orders that say LEO can barge in on something like this? I'm not really happy with either side of this - just want to know how this works in a sorta-kinda-free country.

I'm still curious if these fines will actually hold up in court...

Gatherings which violate the public health order constitute a misdemeanor in Merced County. Suspected criminal activity is PC for a search of the premises.

Of course, Gateway Pundit.

"Bastion" of fair, balanced and unbiased "news"

Well, at least they didn't go full Waco on the church.

Citizen should be able to go into any sheriff or police station to ensure they are following all protocols concerning this virus. There are exigent circumstances during this crisis. You gotta watch these watchers.

In those days, the Redcoats would have got a faceful of Brown Bess for such heathen behavior...

There's a LOT we could LEARN, from the Founding Fathers...

Like gateway. Sad to see them so embellish what was wrong into something worse then it was.
