City workers took to the streets Monday to protest Mayor Bill de Blasio’s vaccine mandate for the entire municipal workforce.
At least 20 people were arrested during the protest, a police source said.
Days after the mayor announced that all government employees except for jail staff will need to receive a vaccine shot by Friday or be placed on unpaid leave, about 5,000 incensed demonstrators marched over the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan.
Many carried American flags, chanting, “F–k de Blasio” and “We will not comply!”
Some protesters wore NYPD and FDNY shirts, and several hoisted Gadsden “Don’t Tread on Me” flags, while others took to the extreme of wearing yellow stars of David to compare the inoculation requirement to Nazi Germany’s persecution of Jews.
“Now, [after] working after countless of emergencies — Hurricane Sandy, the snowstorms … I am under threat. We are under threat of losing our livelihood for simply retaining the choice of protecting our bodies,” fumed firefighter Sofia Medina after the crowd reached City Hall...
“Mayor de Blasio wants to paint us as immoral, unsafe, and a danger to the public. To the citizens of the city, we want to continue protecting you,” bellowed Paul Schweit, who was wearing an FDNY shirt...

Very encouraging! Resist!
LET’S GO BRANDON!
God give them strength. Who do people expect will put out their fires, tend them in hospitals, arrest the bad guys, pick up the garbage etc etc.
Warms my heart.
Unless people speak out like this, tyranny will win.
Natural Resistance!
The NazicRAT pigs have a problem.
Yet pig face Bidet keeps on gracing us with his grand intelligence.
Dumb MOFO.
HOLD THE LINE!
Unless we actually phyically crush and destroy tyranny, it wins.
Because it never gives up. They all believe they know better than you and are forever right.
They all have to be annihilated.
I hope this spreads everywhere.
People are putting down the Doritoes and getting up off the couch…
You know what we need to do?
Nationwide strike!
Let’s call it “ f#@k you Friday”
I wish everyone good luck against criminal government.
More then 5,000 people showed up.
How the media covers up by not reporting. Only the NYPost has the story on their front page.
“Natural Resistance!”
You win the Internet for one day.
Borrow it, share it, make it go viral!
What a beautiful peaceful protest.
I miss the good old days of Tea Partiers on the mall. I hope we’re headed back in that correct direction.
The slamming of the January 6th demonstrators was intended to stop just that; the enemedia is portraying them as “insurrectionists” while very real leftist insurrectionists deliberately attacked and torched gubmint buildings, vehicles, and personnel...
nice keep it up
I visited New York this past weekend. I did not see this covered at all on local TV. And not one word about the protest outside the arena in Brooklyn either.
When do the thugs move in and try to bust this up?
