It's kind of a tangled story, but basically, this guy opened his gym and a police captain issued him a citation in a full on hands-on-guns multi-officer raid. Then apparently his chief told him he shouldn't have done that because they were supposed to get three warnings before a citation, so the captain came back and told someone else there (by that time the owner had gone home) the citation would be voided. At the same time the chief was at the gym owner's house explaining that he believes in the Constitution and disagrees with the governor's shutdown but is enforcing it with three warnings and to consider this the first warning.
So a few days later the gym owner is there giving private law enforcement and military training and this captain comes and knocks on the door and tells him he needs to shut down. The gym owner then attempts to call the chief, and the chief's phone is disconnected, at which time he finds out the chief has been relieved of duty and now this bully captain has been made acting police chief. Later this captain/acting chief comes back with a detective and the town manager and they use a key card they had (from a past membership?) to gain access without a warrant to the locked gym and proceed to harass the members, take pictures of their faces and get license plate numbers from the cars in the lot to issue citations to everyone there.
If you want to listen to him tell the story and maybe get it better than I did, he kind of drags it out, but I think I got the gist. So now, police chiefs who are balking at the tyrannical governors are in danger of losing their jobs. This guy hasn't been fired yet, but is "under investigation". This is really getting eerie.

We’re witnessing full on tyranny and a police state.
And it’s over a phony pandemic.

The people in the gym were exercising their rights.

I am afraid if there isn't a huge push back in November with Democrats taking a huge beating we are permanently fucked.

This is truly the case and the most important election in our lifetime, and possibly in the entire history of the U.S. Never before have economic collectivists (the opposite of what made the U.S. great) wormed their way this far into the fabric of our government, educational institutions and media. This election has come down to free market vs economic collectivism, in the most clean divide ever in our history. If the left wins and consolidates its power, it's all over. The establishment Republicans have sold out. Those who haven't are targeted for elimination.
The first thing a Democrat administration will do if they win in November is attempt to get rid of the electoral college, and in the meantime try to codify absentee voting (they are already trying to do that using the pandemic as an excuse). They will want to ensure a "Trump" will never win again. Even if Trump does win in November we face the same fight every four years, with new generations of voters who have not been properly educated in economics or history.
Although there are some encouraging signs that the youngest coming along, those who are in the 14-17 age range, are rejecting the establishment left. Possibly because of normal teenage rejection of their parents, or maybe because they do not sit on the couch and watch CNN, and get their news from multiple online sources. The left is aware of this of course, so YouTube and FaceBook are ramping up their censorship.

"he Town of Holly Ridge is conducting an internal investigation of actions by its police chief as a local business owner alleges wrongful action by the police department during a “raid” to close his gym operating during the state shutdown."
This needs to turn into an external investigation.
