NOW: San Juan Puerto Rico’s Mayor says he’s been told of previous alleged incidents where San Juan cops showed up at LGBTQ businesses to enforce permits but showed up armed like soldiers going to war, & in large numbers. The mayor has vowed to investigate.
The video in the tweet above shows an intervention this week where San Juan police reportedly intervened at an LGBTQ business to enforce a permit because they allegedly weren’t supposed to be selling liquor. But that’s what they showed up looking like. To that the mayor said: Image
But after getting new information; the mayor released this statement tonight. Image
I’ve never seen swat team dressed cops show up to enforce a permit. Permit inspectors usually show up with clipboards. Not guns.

THREAD: You will hear people say that if you have Covid and you recover you’re fine because you have antibodies and you don’t need to be vaccinated. That’s not true. Dr. Catherine O’Neal, chief medical officer at @ololhealth says: “You think that you have immunity, but...
“...we know now from recent trials that previous infection alone does not give you enough immunity for this virus. You have got to be vaccinated. You also think that you know what this virus is like, but you're about to be attacked with a lot more virus than you had last year...”
