LA County sheriff points out the obvious about new mask mandate, says officers won't enforce it

The Los Angeles County top cop revealed his agency would not waste resources enforcing the mandate that he said is not supported by science.
"Forcing the vaccinated and those who already contracted COVID-19 to wear masks indoors is not backed by science and contradicts the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines," Villanueva said in a statement.
Villanueva added, however, that the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department will encourage voluntary compliance.
"The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (DPH) has authority to enforce the order, but the underfunded/defunded Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department will not expend our limited resources and instead ask for voluntary compliance," Villanueva said. "We encourage the DPH to work collaboratively with the Board of Supervisors and law enforcement to establish mandates that are both achievable and supported by science."
