#1 killer of cops ---- Covid

[packman]

The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund said in a recent midyear report that Covid-19 is the leading cause of death for officers nationwide. According to the nonprofit, from Jan. 1 to June 30, 71 officers died of Covid-related causes, more than firearm and traffic-related incidents combined. The number has continued climbing since the report was released, with 133 officers having died of Covid to date this year, the nonprofit said.

Last year, more law enforcement officers died of Covid-19 than any other cause, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.

Many police officers... died before a vaccine was widely available or before they could get vaccinated, and while performing jobs that put them in close contact with their communities as the virus spread. But others have lost their lives as people around the country, including law enforcement officers, resist vaccination.

Even as Covid-19 surpasses other causes of death for law enforcement officers, many police unions, including in Chicago, New York and Seattle, have fiercely opposed vaccine mandates.

1. ... many police unions, including in Chicago, New York and Seattle, have fiercely opposed vaccine

Hmmm, I guess they feel real men can't get COVID-19.

2. To protect and serve.

How can they protect us when they won’t protect themselves and us in the process.

Their family’s will be standing in line for in the line of duty death benefits even though there is a free way to dramatically cut down on your chance of death.

First responders got priority in the vaccine process when it was first rolled out to protect them. The vaccine is more valuable than the Kevlar Vest, the Baton, the Gun, the cuffs….the vaccine will give them more protection than any of that equipment. The FOP is failing in leadership. They should be moving to protect the cops, not follow their stupidity.
