The NY Police Department is preparing for a “potential mass exodus” over Mayor Bill de Blasio’s Chinese coronavirus vaccine mandate.
Police officials issued several memos on Thursday for police officers who wish to retire rather than get jabbed and reserved an auditorium on Friday “for the NYC Police Pension Fund to process retirement paperwork with at least 20 years on the job.” Anyone who has worked less than 20 years and wishes to resign is being asked to come to the auditorium on Saturday.
“This is to assist members who wish to retire due to the vaccination mandates,” the memo read.
Police officers must show proof they have received at least one shot by 5 p.m. on Friday — employees who do not comply will be put on unpaid leave beginning Monday. As of Thursday, at least 25 percent of NYPD employees remained unvaccinated. The mandate also applies to firefighters, garbage collectors, and most other city workers.
The head of the Detective Endowment’s Association (DEA) told Post that 9,000 to 10,000 NYPD members are eligible to retire or “vest out,” meaning they could opt for a “delayed and lesser retirement package,” the report states.
Police Benevolent Association President Pat Lynch said de Blasio’s mandate “sets the city up for a real crisis.”
Andrew Ansbro, president of the Uniformed Firefighters Association, warned longer response times will ‘be a death sentence to some people,”’ the report continued.
The mayor insisted during a virtual news briefing that his job and the purpose of the vaccine mandate is to “keep people safe.”
“And until we defeat COVID, people are not safe. If we don’t stop COVID, New Yorkers will die,” he said, not noting that first responders kept the public safe and bore the brunt of the pandemic before vaccines were even available.

New Yorkers evidently want to experience pain to show their piety to the democratic cause.
So congratulations, pain is on the way.
I hope they stand strong, and I hope the remainder all call out the day the mandate goes into effect.
Gee, what all you little libf***s going to do when the cops all leave and there’s nobody to protect your little tyrant asses sitting in your mansions sh!tting on millions of Americans?
Heads on f***ing spikes.
I hope people understand the sacrifice they would be making, as these individuals will lose out on a paying job and maybe part/all of their pensions. If it’s like how most people react these days, the officers are on their own.
They all better be armed when they go to the auditorium on Saturday.
Sounds good to me.
De Santis offered them jobs in Florida.
de Blahsio: “Thanks for your service - you’re fired!”
I think a high percentage of people don’t agree with the mandates. Even some of the people who have received the vaccines still support those who don’t.
I guess they’re not essential anymore.
DeBlasio wants to defund the police. This gets him closer to that goal, as no replacements will be forthcoming for those forced out.
AND a 5k bonus to come police in Florida.
Floridians will be happy to have you, just leave your liberal politics at the state line, please.
As we watch Australia we think to ourselves that couldn’t happen here, the gov’ment here doesn’t have the police force (culture there-in) to enforce that kind of tyranny.
…’but after these purges they might have leftist police force.
Two of my nephews are NYPD. (My dad was also NYPD for 23 years).
The older of the two nephews (28YO/married/just bought a house) got vaccinated to keep his job.
The younger (25YO) has not gotten vaccinated and says if he’s fired he will move to Florida and take DeSantis up on his offer of a job with a $5K bonus.
This will defund the police, cull freedom minded people, promote collectivists within and any new recruit will have to endure and ENDORSE critical race theory.
Win-win-win-win scenario for leftists.
They won’t lose their pensions- their pensions just won’t grow.
This is about a bankrupt city forcing an illegal layoff because it's financially broke.
Smart cops in NY already stay away from high crime areas so it will not matter much.
As for the firefighters, NY wrote this check - they can cash it.
I like how you think. :)
