Chicago police union head urges cops to defy vaccine mandate

CHICAGO (AP) — The head of the Chicago police officers union has called on its members to defy the city’s requirement to report their COVID-19 vaccination status by Friday or be placed on unpaid leave.

In the video posted online Tuesday and first reported on by the Chicago Sun-Times, Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara vowed to take Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s administration to court if it tries to enforce the mandate, which requires city workers to report their vaccine status by the end of the work week. After Friday, unvaccinated workers who won’t submit to semiweekly coronavirus testing will be placed on unpaid leave.

Catanzara suggested that if the city does enforce its requirement and many union members refuse to comply with it, “It’s safe to say that the city of Chicago will have a police force at 50% or less for this weekend coming up.”

Good. The city is already on it’s knees. Get the administration on the ground.

Refuse, Resisty, Solidarity.

If the punishment for refusing to submit is just unpaid leave until they submit there is nothing to lose by refusing.

Subsequent lawsuits will probably recoup that lost income times 10.

Let communist Chiraq burn to the ground while taking a nice vacation.

Let the city of Chicongo fire half their cops. That’ll work out just fine.

To annoy Mayor Lightfoot, I’d report my vaccine status in a confusing way: “My vaccines status has been engaged within accepted quantum limitations.”

That is, of course, gibberish. And if Her Honor asks for details, I’d just say I can’t explain it any clearer than that.
