Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco did not wait until California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s new round of lockdown edicts took effect to tell the governor that he will not be party to depriving citizens of their civil liberties because of the coronavirus.

On Thursday, according to The New York Times, Newsom ordered that if available intensive care capacity in a targeted county dips below 15 percent capacity, playgrounds will be closed and businesses such as hair salons shuttered for at least three weeks. The lockdown would also limit store capacity and limit restaurants to only takeout and delivery service.

Bianco took to YouTube Friday with a defiant message that local authorities would not simply kowtow to the governor, no matter what threats were put on the table.

Will Utah's Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police stand tall? We in Utah are creeping ... no moving ... no scrambling in California's direction.
