Chicago Police Union to Defy Vaccine Mandate and Dare the City to Enforce It

The first major test of a vaccine mandate applied to municipal employees will take place this weekend in Chicago, where up to half of the city’s police force is set to defy the mandate by failing to report their vaccine status.
Officers and other city employees who fail to report their vaccination status by Friday will “be placed in a non-disciplinary, no pay status,” according to the mayor’s office.
“It’s safe to say that the city of Chicago will have a police force at 50% or less for this weekend coming up,” said Chicago Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara. He added, “I do not believe the city has the authority to mandate that to anybody — let alone that information about your medical history.” The union has filed suit against the city to halt enforcement of the mandate.
It should be stressed that what is being mandated at this point is city employees reporting their vaccination status. It’s assumed that if they are not vaccinated, they will be given an ultimatum to get the shots by a certain date.
The confrontation sets up a major test for cities across the country that have mandated all city employees must be vaccinated or lose pay or their jobs — or both. Mayor Lori Lightfoot was asked what would happen if 50 percent of cops didn’t show up for the job.

The mayor's attorneys have her Nuremberg defense ready:
"Your honor you cannot execute her for crimes against humanity.
She was too stupid to understand the meaning of the word 'duress'".

Make EBT payments contingent on a vaccine. Then you’ll see some fun.

It all depends on their Ammo stock pile - no .357 or 38 Special anywhere.
If you are anywhere near Downtown Chicago - get out! Head to Wisconsin, Indiana or Michigan!
Saturday night will be the Wild West x 10

I guess the mayor will have to order the police to arrest themselves.

Yeah well, it takes actual work to gather up the data and type out the pages. Don’t expect that from this bunch.

Defunding the police will lead to a nationalized police force.
We’ll get a US Stasi.

My guess is the mayor will call the governor and ask for the National Guard to show up in town...
Of course that begs the question (brought up by another poster earlier today) about the vaxx status of the Illinois National Guard.
The plot thickens...

It’s safe to say that the city of Chicago will have a police force at 50% or less for this weekend coming up... The people in Stalingrad recommend taking shelter in basements.

Think… ambulance drivers on strike at the same time.
