New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has issued an emergency public health order temporarily suspending the right to carry firearms in public across Albuquerque and surrounding Bernalillo County.
“Albuquerque police Chief Harold Medina said he won’t enforce it”.
I’m not American, what prevents the governor to say “cool, you’re fired motherfucker”?

Oddly, our police forces have a lot of discretion in which laws they enforce. For instance, the speed limit may be 35 but the cops may not pull you over unless you’re doing 55. Marijuana laws are not always enforced. Etc.
In addition to the other comments, there are also sheriffs who are usually elected officials. Depending on the state or country, a governor can or cannot fire sheriffs for not doing their jobs.
Of the 50 U.S. states, 48 have sheriffs. The two exceptions are Alaska, which does not have counties, and Connecticut, which replaced its county sheriff system with the state and judicial marshals in 2000. Sheriffs are elected to four-year terms in 43 states, two-year terms in New Hampshire, three-year terms in New Jersey, and six-year terms in Massachusetts. Sheriffs are appointed instead of elected in Hawaii, Rhode Island and a small number of counties elsewhere
