They could have refused the jab like many others have done and found other work. That can be respected. But if they’re willing to deliberately lie and falsify their own records for their personal benefit that casts on any arrests they’ve made or will make. Not who we need working in a public trust position.
O Look another conservative pharisee for the leftist orthodoxy.
Of course, some are comfortable allowing such people in positions of power over the citizenry.
JD_UTDallas “Any officer who commits this kind of felony deserves to be in Fed lockup regardless of how they “feel” about the mandate it is no excuse to break federal law.”
hopespringseternal: “In 1942 your ilk were ratting out Jews to the Nazis.
What a good little bootlicker you are. People like you are absolutely worthless to the maintenance of a free society because you will gladly turn the persecuted in for violating unjust laws.”
He feels that his woke mission is to “educate the rubes” and keep them in line.
JD_UTDallas is probably just another virtue-signaling Bush-bot sponger in a government job.
Well people realize this but as you know Biden doesn’t care what his limitations are....he and this administration just push on through anyway...this you know as well.
In the culture and society we have under this administration today I can’t agree with your assessment. A government’s legitimacy and moral right to use state power is justified and ‘lawful ONLY when consented to by the people’ or society over which that political power is exercised. In the case of these officers there intent was to protect their livelihood and families therefore justifiable.
I think everyone agrees their intent was to protect their livelihood. Their breaking the law to do so isn’t justifiable in this or any other administration. The willingness to support such behavior is IMO a worse reflection of culture and society.
Wrong. *I* am not a police officer sworn to uphold and enforce the law. I do however know and respect cops who chose to work elsewhere rather than get vaccinated. These two chose unwisely, and have proven they should not hold public trust positions.
Decision time will be at our door steps very shortly.
It is now widely agreed that a person can be morally justified in breaking a law, even a valid law in a democracy whose institutions are by and large just. There is much less agreement, however, about the sorts of considerations that constitute good moral reasons in support of disobedience.
