Why? Because they can potentially exposed those they serve to a deadly disease. That's contrary to their mission as public servants.

They should also avoid making public statements contrary to the public's best interest and safety.

I hope LAFD straightens out this guys head and puts him behind a desk away from the public until he changes his attitude.

About 1.5 miles from where I live. Geez. This jerk probably lives nearby.

You just know he is going to vote for Larry Elder who said he'll do away with mask and vaccine mandates immediately.

and will be running for office. Of course he might be decompensating, but with his views that wouldn't rule out a previously unplanned segue. One small thing to be glad of, it's too late for him to get on the ballot for governor.

Jesus I love how all these supposed tough guys are like OMG YOU CAN'T TELL ME WUT TO DO! MA BODY, MY CHOICE!

Okay then lose your fucking job then you jellyfish. I'm sure you got vaccinated at a young age for everything else that keeps your dumbass from getting sick. Jesus so much toughness, yet can't handle a fucking shot. Such wimps these tough men have become and they have the nerve to call others soy boys and shit. Talk about PROJECTION

How in the hell is this guy a safety expert?

Appreciate the way these guys put their lives on the line. But...

He's talking about vaccine mandates as if it's a virus. I mean, it's not even a mandate. If there's a pandemic, you gotta expect to be tested for the virus.
