Judge issues restraining order to stop Chicago police union boss from discouraging members to comply with city vaccine mandate

A judge late Friday issued a temporary restraining order against the Chicago police union president, prohibiting him from making public statements that encourage members not to report their COVID-19 vaccine status to the city.

Cook County Circuit Judge Cecilia Horan ruled there was potential irreparable harm if local Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara persisted in making such statements. City attorneys argued they were tantamount to him advocating “sedition” and “anarchy” because he was directing members to disobey an order from their superiors.

It was the latest twist in the high-stakes standoff between Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and the local police union over the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. With both sides accusing the other of illegally risking the safety of the city over the issue, the fight shifted into the courts Friday with dueling lawsuits.

Lightfoot asked the courts to intervene after the union chief told members to disobey Friday’s deadline to report their vaccine status. The local Fraternal Order of Police in turn filed its own lawsuit against the city, mayor and police Superintendent David Brown that seeks to force arbitration over the matter.

It’s only illegal if it can be proved, correct?

How about issuing an injunction against Mayor Lightweight from issuing vaccine mandates.

They jailed Eugene V. Debbs for agitating against WWI, and he still got a couple of electoral votes from jail. Ordering union heads or anyone else, but especially union heads, to stop speaking their minds is a very bad idea.

Moderna now runs American government. It is “sedition” to stand in the way of profits flowing for their failed “vaccine.”

Talk to Jefferson then. When your freedoms are stripped from you, the only way to deal with tyrants is with terror! Tree of liberty needs fertilizer!

I'm sure that any homosexual cops will qualify for exemptions. Don't forget that Lori Lightfoot is the first LGBTQ mayor and first black female mayor of Chicago. Lightfoot was the first openly lesbian candidate in the history of Chicago mayoral elections.

Enough people heard the union boss; the gag only applies to him, not the members...

Remember back when the unions and the democrats were the best of friends? It seems like just yesterday.
