Law enforcement personnel from dozens of area agencies, hundreds of onlookers and family members gathered along the streets of Newberg Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 2, to pay last respects to an officer struck down not by a felon's bullet, but by a virus.

Sgt. Brian Gaunt, a veteran of the Beaverton Police Department and a Newberg resident, succumbed to complications related to COVID-19 on Sunday. He was 48.

and yet police unions keep fighting the vaccination program. Actually I'm fine with it at this point. You can't fix stupid.

1. Thinning Of The Herd

The more that die, the better.

3. Good to know at least one is for public safety.

6. I Wasn't Referring To Those Who Care Enough To Get Vaccinated

I have no use for those who disregard public safety by refusing to get vaccinated.

That's what I meant by thinning the herd. The unvaccinated are irresponsible, and if they can't be fired for that, I'm fine with them suffering the ultimate consequence.

4. Covid19..the leading cause of death among uniformed officers. Yet they don't want the vaccine

These ppl are just not very bright!

5. It's weird to say the least.

As of October of this year, five time as many police died of Covid than gunfire since the beginning of the pandemic. That alone certainly points to responsible health measures being the major plank of the Back the Blue movements, but instead looks to be just another tantrum-point for far too many in law enforcement
