Not really. Even Texas had bullshit Covid mandates. It started in Dallas county, mandated by a fucking commie judge, and spread through the entire state through fear porn and lemming mentality. Even when it became obvious that the federal government, the WHO, the CDC, and the mainstream media were all lying, it took a long while to rescind the mandates, because the neocons (like Abbot) in office are a bunch of weak willed and/or controlled op pieces of shit. All of those mandates were enforced by the police.

When government becomes corrupt and the law becomes antagonistic against the people, so too do the police. At that point, the "good" police officers either don't say anything, for fear of their pay check, "just follow orders", or they leave. Ultimately, this means that the police, as an organization itself, becomes irredeemable, just like the government they uphold and protect. It becomes an inversion of truth, where government and the police are supposed to be there to protect the people and uphold their views, and invert to protecting the corrupt government against the people, enforcing the will of the evil people within government against the people.
