Judge Orders Police Union President to Stop Bashing City's Vaccine Mandate.

[Cattledog]

A Cook County judge ordered Police Union President John Catanzara on Friday to stop making public statements on social media or in the media that encourage police officers not to comply with the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate until a hearing Oct. 25.

Cook County Judge Cecilia Horan’s ruling came several hours after the city’s request for a court order to stop the union and Catanzara from blocking the city’s vaccine mandate with illegal threats of a strike or work stoppage.

Horan ruled that the city had shown that Catanzara’s comments on YouTube, Fox News and on Twitter likely threatened public safety.

1. I find all of this so incredible, how brain washed and uneducated they are ...

He should be helping the protection of citizens, not going against sound health.

[PortTack]

3. The guy is a crook! No better than tfg. He sees it as his way of having an outsized control on

The police in the city.

7. For some it was not so much as washed as it was a light rinse.

2. RWers creeped their way into Fire Departments, Police Departments . . ..

Military, and other major organizations across the country is frightening enough. Taking out the trash should be our main goal. Unions care about people, all people.

4. It's becoming increasingly obvious who runs police departments

And it's not the chief of police.

5. Didn't Catanzara get his job because the last guy died of Covid?

I really don't get it.

12. No.

He won an election. No one died.

13. Not how he got the job, but the last guy did just die of COVID at age 67.

I don't get it, either, in terms of rational thought or common sense, but they belong to a cult, so they are not motivated by reason.. or compassion... or integrity... or public health.... or the common good...or civic responsibility... or science... or, you know, reality.

6. I'm usually on the side of unions, but

Police unions seem to be threats to public safety!

[SunSeeker]

8. Indeed. nt
