San Francisco sheriff’s deputies threaten to quit over COVID-19 vaccine mandate
KTLA ^ | Aug 6, 2021

Posted on 08/07/2021 7:19:32 AM PDT by BenLurkin

The union representing San Francisco sheriff’s deputies said Friday a number of its officers will quit or retire early if they are forced to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

Under a mandate issued last month, city employees who work in the jails or other high-risk settings are required to be vaccinated by Sept. 15 or risk losing their jobs.

The San Francisco Deputy Sheriffs’ Association said on its Facebook page Friday that about 160 of 600 sheriff employees are rejecting the vaccine due to religious or other beliefs, and would rather wear masks or test weekly.

About 16% of sheriff’s deputies, 17% of police and 9.5% of fire department employees were not vaccinated as of Friday, according to city data obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle.

Nancy Crowley, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s department, said officials are working with the human resources department to obtain full compliance by the deadline.

All of the sheriff’s officers should support their brothers and threaten to resign if any of them are fired or disciplined for not getting the “vaccine.”

There’s more than one way to defund the police.

Talked to a neighbor that is on one of the local fire departments and he chose to get the shot but I asked him about others and he said 7 or 8 don’t want the vax and the union should be getting involved shortly if the dept decides to make it mandatory. So, good for these guys balking at this and not wanting to used like people were at Auschwitz. Coerced to take experimental medical procedures. Nuremburg code violatons. But to pedo joe and pals, MEH!

The San Francisco Deputy Sheriffs’ “Association said on its Facebook page Friday that about 160 of 600 sheriff employees are rejecting the vaccine.”

“About 16% of sheriff’s deputies, 17% of police and 9.5% of fire department employees were not vaccinated as of Friday, according to city data obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle.”

Union says 27%, City says 16% not vaccinated. 1 in 4 vs 1 in 6. Somebody’s lying.

Yep. May Almighty God be with all of us as the lies and destruction continue from them.

I honestly believe we are either fully into or starting into the Holy Bible’s referenced Period or Tribulation.

Apparently the thin blue line is thinner then ever thought. Unless it has to do with persecuting Trump people, then the line is a mile thick.

Instead of resigning or retiring these officers should simply stop arresting people for petty crimes and let the city go to hell. Oh, wait. Never mind

IT’S NOT A VACCINE!

By the time you accept their definition of the genetic engineering jab as a “vaccine”, you lose all downstream arguments.

NEVER ACCEPT THE PREMISE!

There are some places online beginning to talk about national walkouts if this mandate thing goes much further.

There are police and fire departments as well as hospitals that would cease functioning if the unvaccinated began flexing its muscle.

I read a fascinating thread (and offshoots) this morning on Twitter by one of the best conservative lawyers. She goes through the LEGAL reasons that the unvaccinated will not have a chance.
