A leading Chicago police union opposed an impending mandate from Mayor Lori Lightfoot that requires all city officers to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
John Catanzara, president of the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police, said his group is "100% against mandated vaccines for our members," according to a statement given to Fox 32.
"This vaccine has no studies for long-term side effects or consequences. None," Catanzara told the Chicago Sun-Times. "To mandate anybody to get that vaccine, without that data as a baseline, amongst other issues, is a ‘Hell, no’ for us."
He also insisted all police unions in the city oppose such a mandate.
“It ain’t just our guys. It’s the sergeants, lieutenants, and captains. This is a united front. All four of the unions. It’s no longer John Catanzara’s big mouth, like they like to spin it all the time,” he told the outlet.
Lightfoot confirmed on Wednesday all city employees would be required to get fully vaccinated against the virus, effective Oct. 15.

USPS? No! White House staff? No! CDC staff? No! Chicago police? No! Seems only liberal organizations can get away with middle fingering their bosses.
Instead of bashing them, use them as a precedent in court if fired.
Civil rights discrimination as well.
Strike!
Last I knew they are operating without a contract.
If that’s still the case, they don’t dare strike.
I take it back. They just ratified a new 8 year contract two weeks ago...
Would they be replaced with Scab social workers?
100%
Blue flu! Time for direct action refusals that throw sand in the communist party gears.
And since the “vaccinated” carry up to 250 times the viral load than a non vaccinated, they should Demand Complete Segregation from these Super Spreaders of COVID.
Other places would welcome them.
Let the Windy City collapse.
Let’s get a weekend of 200 shot with 30+ dead.
They are the worst shooters ever.
You go! Boys in blue! Put Beetlejuice in her place . . . maybe even back in the kitchen where she belongs - without any shoes. Oh wait, that’s her wife’s job. I think she can do it also though.
Time for a lot of Blue Flu cases in Chicagostan.
Feds.
Now they need to pull her protective detail. (They don’t want her get the Wuhanic Plague from those filthy, “unvaccinated” cops). Let her pay for her own private security.
I’d support this stance, but first, I’d like to know if the police have been gleefully supporting the rest of the insane phalse pandemic measures. Have they been threatening businesses with closure? have they been handing out fines to the maskless?
Hmmmmm???
If so, I say stick them all hard and fast. They haven’t missed a paycheck during this scamademic. Perhaps it’s time for them to feel some of the pain.
