I've said it before, but I'm not sure if people this emotional and reactionary have any place in law enforcement

Fuck every single LEO eligible for the vaccine who are not voluntarily vaccinated.

They are the antithesis of Protect and Serve.

As you said, how can you protect and serve the public when you won't even take a simple step to make sure they don't catch a deadly virus?

These unions, especially the cop unions, are all right-wing nazi/MAGA outfits who have delusions of grandeur.

I also have a problem with them asking for help from the public when they are well paid and have good benefits.

I belong to a union and when a member needs help the union does not go to the public. They ask their members.

As a taxpayer who pays their salaries, I oppose paying them Not being responsible to the public they’re supposed to protect. So quit n try getting a different job that doesn’t involve working with the public. And stfu about it.

Have at it. I said this in another post, the unvaccinated cops family’s will be in the front of line for the “duty death benefit” because they are too stupid to take the vaccine. Covid is the leading killer of cops, there is an easy safe and free way to protect yourself, yet they don’t.

So tough shit to the whiners who think that might work.

This may start a whole new element of the economy where people found companies for security and whatever, being very careful not to exceed 100 people. Hopefully that will 1) take a while and 2) result in lower wages because the idiots will flood out the market.

It's about time we are starting to see widespread penalties for being stupid.

If they don’t meet the criteria for the job they should be summarily dismissed.

on the job. If they can force people to take drug tests, they should sure as hell be able to enforce a vaccine mandate.

Why are the 600,000+ USPS workers exempt from the vaccine mandate? The President has the power directly to mandate vaccines as they are US government workers. I don't understand how/why they are exempt and it undermines the seriousness of the issue.

They are the ones who have pulled in folks from white power/militia movements to deliberately hurt minorities and women and give strong preference to straight white right wing males.

They go from tragic human to tragic human, from angry abusers to homeless encampments to mask holes causing trouble to accompanying EMTs in emergency medical situations. And then they’re going to come put their hands on ME? Oh hell no. But I have to call them if I need help. How this is okay is beyond me. I guarantee you they’re all vaxxed for tetanus.

and when we have to replenish the force, we will be sure to only hire those who have the jab.

You're not owning any libs with this move, cops.
