Aren’t there any penalties for Evil and Ugly? If not, there should be!

Yesterday I learned that Chicago said the noncomplying LEO’s would be put on unpaid leave. Vs Seattle where they will be outright fired.

Monday is the drop dead day for the government(s) here. Tick tock....

Round one goes to the Chicago police union.

Based on what I personally witnessed last night, it appears CPD has the public's backing on this. I was at the Gabriel Iglesias ("Fluffy" the comedian) event last night at the United Center in Chicago. CPD were EVERYWHERE protecting the event.

Personally, it warmed my heart to see people giving CPD the thumbs-up, comments that the public backed them and people just engaging in conversation with the police voicing their support.

I stopped to talk to a group of LEO's and asked what was going to happen. The response: there are A LOT of CPD, probably well over 60% that have refused the vaccination. They are not backing down.

And again, from what I saw, Chicagoan's back the police against the Liberal Lesbian Licker Lori Lightfoot (street name: five-l)

None of them should reveal their vaccination status.

It’s time Americans burned their Vax cards.

Rightfully so, a relative lives in Chicago and the horror stories of side effects and deaths are huge.

I've been looking for the over/under on shootings and murders once the walk-out happens in earnest.

It's going to be very, very violent in Chicago when CPD walks. The five most violent neighborhoods in Chicago -- black. Those same five neighborhoods account for 95% or more of all homicides in the city.

Bloody days are coming. Anyone in Chicago with the means to escape better do so soon. And be prepared to pay sky-high housing costs in the 'burbs. Flight from the city has caused double digit increases in housing month, after month, after month out here.

I agree. This is one time where union members (police, fire, sanitation, etc.) need to stand together. Mayor Lightfoot can whine and threaten all she wants. But she can’t fire everyone, and still have a city left to govern.

Clearly for Lightfoot the penalty for Evil is UGLY!

BBC speaks to inventors of the spike protein. listen carefully. jabs for everyone. one day a highly effective coronavirus vaccine might be invented.
followed by interview with Gurdasani, which ignores the censorship of anyone who questions the vaccine, while ending with BBC suggestion that the online attacks on Gurdasani could be mysogyny and racism!

8m39s to 21m:

AUDIO: 28m08s: 15 Oct: BBC World Service: Science in Action
In January 2020, Barney Graham and Jason McLellan teamed up to engineer a coronavirus spike protein that now powers the COVID-19 vaccines for Moderna, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson and Novavax. They discuss their work, a next-generation vaccine using chicken eggs, and the future of pandemic preparedness.

Also, a recent Nature survey reveals the extent of abuse against scientists who speak about COVID-19 publicly. Deepti Gurdasani, Queen Mary University of London, shares her experiences of trolling and online abuse and discusses the implications for academia and scientific discourse going forward...

Union president says they have the upper hand because even prior to this no one will enter the police academy, much less the number needed to replace any who are fired. That’s why she got a restraining order slapped on him to shut him up.

My oldest son graduated Western IL University, one of the top law enforcement programs in the country, in 2019. He graduated Magna Cum Laude in the Centennial Honors Program. He's a smart young man, well disciplined, a quality young man of character and integrity.

In 2019 CPD had recruiters at WIU to try and get upcoming graduates to start their careers with them.

CPD got ZERO. None. Zilch. Not a single Law Enforcement Program graduate would even look at CPD.

We all know it's not the cops that are the problem in Chicago. It's the politics, the neighborhoods, the violence, and that the Chicago Cops get thrown under the proverbial bus all the time.

It's not a mystery why Chicago is having issues getting recruits into the police academy.

BTW, this problem isn't just Chicago. When Hellinois eliminated qualified immunity for police state-wide, it got worse. Police at every level in every municipality across the state are leaving.

Best to be armed and prepared to defend ones self living here in Hellinois.

Thanks for the info.

Many of us are beginning to suspect that the officially reported vaccination percentages are fraudulently overstated—hard to prove, but beginning to look that way.

Just so I'm clear about this, I'm simply repeating what several of Chicago PD's best said to me last night. I stopped to talk to a few of them after the Fluffy show at United Center. They were quite professional, police and ... NICE. They appeared to be quite appreciative of the support they were getting after the show. I have no idea if what several officers told me is true. No way to verify it, I just have to take them at their word.

I am an old timer, and one thing that life has taught me—take the word of the working stiff over that of the bosses—every time.

I'm a 'trust but verify' guy, and in this case I'll take the word of a Cop over the word of a horrible, lying, liberal lesbian licker named Lori Lightfoot.

She's been proven to be a fake, fraud and a liar. She's toast next election.

As someone said above, round one goes to CPD.
