So this is the way to get rid of bad cops

[USAFRetired_Liberal]

It’s hard to get rid of bad cops, but threatening them with mandatory vaccinations will do the trick….this would do wonders for police reform.

1. Threaten not, do.

[Nictuku]

2. I figure the police force will be better off without these bad apples.

3. Absoslutely. I was about to post - good riddance.

Folks who quit because of this are idiots and the streets will be safer with them off.

14. So true!

4. Who knew it would be this simple?

10. LOL...Life is beautiful...

5. Denver's top public safety leader prepared to fire police officers

who don’t comply with vaccine mandate.
Denver’s top public safety leader says he is prepared to discipline and even fire police officers, sheriff’s deputies and firefighters who don’t abide by the city’s requirement that all city employees get vaccinated against COVID-19.

17. I live in Denver--Hurray! for getting rid of the bad ones!

I was delighted to hear the news about the mandate for all city employees to be vaccinated and I got a good chuckle from the news out of the Police Union here that they would not abide by the mandate.

Yes, I believe that it will eliminate a number of bad cops who long ago forgot--if they ever knew--what the words "protect and serve" actually mean.

6. Like that's a bad thing?

LOL.

13. Exactly

7. Sounds like a great idea to me.

Seems like we've found a good way of purging unwanted MAGAts

[onecaliberal]

8. That would be awesome!

9. Y'all know how I feel about cops, but...an employer mandate gives room for unions to bargain.

The health-care unions in my area are using mandates as an opportunity to bargain, as they should. If a union lets one mandate go unchecked, it makes it harder to mobilize for the next one.

11. Just say 'good bye', morons.

[BobTheSubgenius]

12. I don't mean to be a PITA, but...

...I think you spelled "morans" wrong.

[Warpy]

15. Oh, they're not going to quit

They're going to piss and moan and stamp their feet but they're not going to quit. They're going to make as much of a stink as possible, and when it doesn't work, they'll very quietly get the damned shots.

Trust me, I've seen this before.

16. Upside down thinking.

I remember people in the olden days threatening cops and others with body fluids saying, 'I have AIDS'.

How many people do they come in close contact with every day? Status unknown. Or inside spaces maybe not so clean. And then buddy up to their partners and other colleagues.

They could think of the vaccine as superhero force field protection against invisible bullets of virus.

Silly rabbits.

[onethatcares]

18. they think roids are

that force field protection.

welcome to DU.

19. For a moment I thought they were threatening to jump

Off the Golden Gate Bridge.

Of course, refusing to get vaccinated is another potential means of suicide.
