He died doing what he loved: endangering the public.

Reading about a San Francisco cop, Jack Nyce, 46, who was among the 41 officers put on leave for refusing SF’s Nov. 1st vaccine requirement.

He tested positive for covid Tuesday 11/2. His symptoms got so severe, his wife called EMTs to rush him to the hospital. He died Saturday.

4. Choices lead to consequences

sympathy for his wife and kids if he has them, but he chose this.

6. Damn those poor EMTs

He must’ve been feeling really terribly. I don’t know what the right thing to do in that situation is if you know you’re putting people at risk.

The poor guys family. Geez, people.

7. Nice dirt nap for Nyce. Well played ya fucking idiot. Literally suicide by cop.

8. Covid, the leading killer of cops

If only there was some way to protect themselves from it…… they wear seatbelts to protect from car accidents, Kevlar to protect from shootings, if only there was a way to protect from Covid……

11. Interesting stat from the article...

"According to the Officer Down Memorial Page, COVID-19 is the number one killer of law enforcement officers in 2021 so far.

The page reports 269 officer deaths due to COVID-19 in 2021, with the second leading cause of death listed as gunfire with 54 deaths."

So five times as many cops have died from COVID than from gunfire. I'm thinking the NRA needs to get on this tout de suite. I mean, if the solution to gun violence is more armed citizens, then shouldn't the solution to COVID violence be fewer restrictions on obtaining it? Allowing open-carry of COVID without a background check?

12. Leading killer of cops in 2020 also with 253 deaths.

Over 600 deaths in 2 years. Maybe they should cut the shit and get vaccinated…..

9. Now the world is a safer place, LOL

That right, I just laughed about that covicidal death cult member dying.

10. RIP. Another American family and workplace damaged by COVID. n/t

So sad what the right-wing has done to us. A family has lost a loved one (most likely to bull-headed stupidity) and SF lost its investment in a police officer.
