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.

2. Lori, the MARXIST lesbian psychopath says, “We don’t need no stinkin’ police”!!!!
I’m at United Center right now to see Gabriel Iglesias. Waited 18 months for this. Afterwards I’m the hell outta here as fast as possible.
The very first response after the suspensions should be a refusal to serve on the mayor’s protection detail, or on any similar detail for any other elected official. They should also refuse to provide security to courthouses after the first judge decides the mandate is legitimate.
Inquiring minds are wanting to know if they’ve been enforcing any of his other covid crap on anyone else. If so, my give a damn is busted.
Mild weather, moon waxing.
The Officers are on to something. How would that ugly dog of a “mayor” enforce Xiden/Falsie medical tyranny without calling the cops...oh, wait, they’re on strike! Call up the IL National Guard? Those “redneck” troops from the rural, Republican parts of the state? Oops!...
The entire force, down to the last, despises the mayor. Every one of them. Absolutely hate her.
