Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced Friday the city has filed a complaint to stop police from potentially striking in reaction to layoffs due to a COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
Lightfoot and the police union have continued to bump heads as the deadline for the vaccine mandate looms: City employees must enter their vaccination status into an online portal by midnight Friday.
The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) and its president, John Catanzara, have argued that the mayor cannot force employees to disclose personal medical information, FOX 32 Chicago reported.
Lightfoot has labeled the FOP’s arguments as "rhetoric of conspiracy theorists."
"President Catanzara has time and again deliberately misled our police officers by lying about the requirements of the policy and falsely claiming that there will be no repercussions if officers are insubordinate and refuse to follow a City and Department directive or order," Lightfoot said. "Catanzara is encouraging an unlawful strike and work stoppage which carries the potential to undermine public safety and expose our residents to irreparable harm, particularly during an ongoing pandemic."

On "Fox & Friends," Catanzara estimated about half of his officers have been vaccinated, but he said even those who have received the vaccine agree that a mandate is wrong.
He told Fox News’ Ainsley Earhardt that the mandate was Lightfoot’s decision and not something the public had called for.
"Everything from this mayor is a dictatorship," he said. "She just decided she was going to do it and push it on the entire city workforce across the board."

When you play the “conspiracy theorist” card, you’re losing.
Chicongo will get some Democrat stooge “judge” to rule in the city’s favor, just like Groot got one of her LGBTQXYZ freakazoid stooge judges to try to shut the police union boss up.

Who is going to supervise the shooting gallery that is Chicago on the weekend?
The Union is No Longer Useful!
Just Say NO!!
let the Games begin
It’s not a “strike” if they refuse to take the vaccine you’re enforcing lightloafers.
It seems conspiracy theorist and terrorists are two terms that get thrown around rather loosely these days. Quite honestly, I don’t take anyone seriously that use these terms without qualification. For instance, Muslim terrorist. Yeah, I know that’s redundant, but you can call me a conspiracy theorist.
Sounds more like a lockout to me.
Earth to the ignorant Chicago sl*t, shove it up your slimy little comzouta hole.
Like DeBlasio in N.Y. this wretched woman has a detail of City Cops who drive her sorry ass around and protect her at all times day and night,
I wonder how the others in the police treat and feel about this security detail???
So Lesbian Licker Liberal Lori Lightfoot is for enslaving Chicago PD now? ROFL! She’s already lost the battle.
Those crazy “conspiracy theorists” have the audacity to actually read the Nuremberg Codes!
“You will respect mah authoritah!” Cartman did it better.
