When the Governor Sanctions Confrontation — and Violence?

A statement from Gov. Whitmer’s press conference on 7/9:
“... Human behavior is the thing that is going to determine what direction we’re headed in. We [the government- added] will do everything we can to encourage the right choices. But at the end of the day, it’s on ALL OF US [emphasis added] to do our part, to educate the people around us, whether it’s in the store or it’s in our household, or it is in our neighborhood or in our workplace. We’ve got to implore one another to step up and to do the right thing. And Michiganders are smart. We’re tough. We can figure out how to do it politely, but also forcefully because it’s on all of us...” emphasis added.  

We have already seen incidents in which those not wearing masks have been driven out of places of business, even threatened with violence, by their fellow customers.  Now the governor says it’s on EACH OF US to COMPEL the appropriate behavior, “the right thing”, FORCEFULLY?!

That’s either a really bad choice of words, or the governor has just sanctioned such behaviors.
