My understanding and what I read is they opened the beach 3 hours later. A mistake to close beaches. They should have stayed open with social distancing. And special thanks to Chief for sticking up for our rights.
Good job Rife! I would literally fly across the country to shake your hand and buy you a beer! Seriously. THIS is what America stands for, the Free and the Brave!😎
“Yeah, uh, we, ahh... we have... a situation. Um, could you send backup?” “OK can you describe the situation? What backup do you need?” “Well, eh, there’s... a guy... he’s... mmm... he’s standing in the water.” “Just one man? Is he armed?” “One man, correct. The suspect appears to be unarmed. But he’s standing in the water.” “Copy. SWAT is en route to your location. The National Guard has been put on standby with orders to deploy at a moment’s notice.”
Looks to me that the guys talking to the cops are more of a threat than the guy in the water. No social distancing on their part they were standing very close multiple times.
Chief Rife, as a fellow retiree and Coast Guard Chief, Thank You for your service and for sending a message.
He's a 1st amendment hero in my book. Way to go Chief!
Thank you for your service and for standing up for all of us.

This is how you speak volumes about without saying a word.
Brought tears to my eyes
Listen carefully, ua-cam.com/video/i7Ro04dhao0/v-deo.html

"He's just standing there, MENACINGLY!"

@Jay Cole No, they don't see themselves as Shepherds. They see themselves as wolves - looking to devour us.
This is exactly what we all need to do. If we don't stand for our rights they will be taken away
This is why we, US Navy persons, honor and respect our Chief Petty Officers as much as we do officers!
Proud of this gentleman he’s an inspiration for us
Very cool! This is what we need more of. Have balls people.
Semper Fi, Chief. USMC Retired

Awesome 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
Bravo Zulu, Chief!!!

Dang, what is wrong with people?
No one on shore practicing social distancing.
David Delavega not even the police that are there to enforce social distancing
The Chief was the only one!
I don’t see the problem you’re just standing in water.
I believe it was a response to another man, a surfer, being arrested before, though across the country in Malibu CA earlier in April.
Hi there! I’m a producer with The Weather Channel’s Local Now. Could I have permission to use your video with on screen credit to you? Thanks so much!
yes
Yes.
Thanks so much!
kicorley . Yes a million times yes
Video would be better if you'd shield the speaker from the wind.
Legend has it he is still there today, his feet are buried to deep to move with out getting his dress coat wet at this point.
Also it's hilarious how little social distancing meant to all the land lovers.
Why is the guy in the red shirt on the beach? Is he a snitch?
No, he helped set up the protest
So which one is the fink? And why not arrest the rest of them?
wowwowwow
Here piggy piggy
Not unconstitutional at all.... Might want to try arguing a different angle...
