Police Unions Across U.S. Urge Members To Defy Vaccine Mandates - All In - MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

“Police officers have been on the front lines of battling the virus,” says Chris Hayes. “It would have made sense for every one of them to get vaccinated quickly—but that has not been the case. Instead, vaccination rates in police departments across the country lag behind the national average. And police unions have vehemently, strenuously pushed back against any sort of mandate.” Aired on 10/15/2021.

They are the “tellers”…not the ones who get told. On any topic.

5. The only union that supported Trump was LEO;s

We need to reform police unions to get rid of anti-democractic folks that don't get it.

use that money to double the pay of those that are. Would solve many problem in the department. Kind of like an IQ test for cops.

12. So If Biden and the Vaccinocrats...

Remove the "Mandate" stipulation and no "Mandate" existed. Would they get vaccinated? My point being, mandate or no I'm getting vaccinated. I've never had covid, but I don't intend to get it if I can avoid it. I really don't care about the mandate. But if I cared about the mandate, my intention would be what--die of covid before I let someone tell me to take something that's meant to keep me from getting sick! If I intend to get vaccinated, then the mandate shouldn't matter. I'm not taking health risks over a word. These officers follow mandates all day long as part of their job. This is obviously a political defiance in support of republicans--REMEMBER, THE POLICE UNIONS "ACCROSS THE COUNTRY" WORKED HAND IN HAND WITH TRUMP AND WILLIAM BARR TO STAMP OUT PEACEFUL PROTESTS. THESE ARE NOT ORDINARY OFFICERS, THEY ARE RIGHT WING POLITIAL AGITATORS. It's now become an embarrassment that our police forces are now led by right wing radicals. The police unions are working against Biden and worst they're probably vaccinated.

Remember the Affordable Care Act also had a mandate, when they dropped the "mandate" part everybody wanted it.

14. Darwin's Champions ??

Since the start of the pandemic nearly 400 plus police have died
of COVID. Some before the Vaccines but a large number after
the shots became available Those that refuse the shots should
be terminated. The taxpayers are being saddled with paying for
their Hospital, funeral charges and widows pension because of their
foolish choice. Oh and screw the FOP.
