America Has Become "The Land Of The Snitches" During This Coronavirus Pandemic

• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Michael Snyder

All over the country, calls have been pouring in to authorities from "concerned citizens" that are quite eager to point a finger at their neighbors for violating the coronavirus lockdowns.  In fact, it has been reported that some very nosy people in the state of California were actually calling 911 to report that their neighbors were coughing inside their own homes.  Of course the mainstream media is not exactly helping matters when they use phrases such as "death sentence" to describe this pandemic.  Yes, we should all be taking this virus very seriously, but the truth is that this is not the end of the world and everyone needs to calm down.

Do we really want to have a society where everyone is spying on their neighbors?  When I read that a mother in Wisconsin had been visited by the police because she had permitted her daughter to go play at a friend's house, it really touched a nerve with me

A Wisconsin mom videotaped two police officers who showed up at her home and accused her of "allowing" her daughter to play at a friend's house, an act they deemed to be in defiance of Wisconsin's "Stay at Home" order.

The officers are clearly agitated and condescending in their conversation with the mother, who is addressed as "Amy" when she opens the door upon their arrival.

So how did the police know that her daughter had gone to another house to play?
