LA Sheriff Villanueva says that he will not enforce a vaccine mandate, saying employees are willing to get fired over it. "I don't want to be in a position to lose 5, 10% of my workforce overnight on a vaccine mandate."

1. I don't believe he has that authority! He can try!

2. Can he be fired?

Sheesh

[Deuxcents]

3. Failure to do his duty?

Is that a reason to fire him? If not, why not?

5. He can't be fired. He is an elected official.

He could be recalled, but that's unlikely. He could also be voted out in the next election. But, nobody can fire him.

4. Well then he can be part of the 5 to 10% that will be gone.

I'm sure that having other vaccines are part of the requirements to be employed in the
L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. just like all public school students in the state of California.

Now they don't have to get the vaccine but they don't have a right to be an employee
of the sheriff's dept.. We are in a battle here of right (science) vs wrong (facebook info).

8. The board meeting here over the vaccine mandate for children was like the Wild West.

Hundreds of people shouting. Police escorting the board to cars after 5 hours at 11:30 pm.

6. So if 5% were smoking marijuana he would end drug testing?

what if 10% were beating their spouses, raping their children? would he end any back round checks?

9. 5% rules the majority in his roach infested brain.

10. Actually, that's the norm in our system of governance. See: US Senate

7. So, which ones will leave these salaries behind over a vaccine?

11. You don't know, I don't know, and Sheriff Villanueva doesn't know

But clearly the Sheriff isn't willing to stand up to the knuckleheads, and would rather endanger everyone's health. That's some real leadership there, that is. I'd like to play poker against the Sheriff since he's this easily bluffed. He go home on the bus in his shorts.
