From the Wall Street Journal: Politics was
also at play when New York Mayor Bill de Blasio ordered police in Brooklyn to
break up a crowd of mourners who gathered for a Hasidic Jewish funeral, warning
that their actions were “unacceptable” and threatening to arrest them.
Contrast this with the approach that many of the same political leaders and
public-health experts took toward the protests catalyzed by George Floyd’s
killing. These protesters were neither maligned nor targeted with fines and
arrests based on social distancing or mask mandates. They were often joined in
the streets by politicians such as Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and New
Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (WSJ).
