All 12 of the state troop members have been "dishonorably discharged" as of Friday, according to a Massachusetts State Police spokesperson.

And the Governor has withheld designated essential worker pay from the Feds, amounting to a couple dollars an hour since the start of the pandemic. Those funds have been redirected to the general fund.

Baker is not very popular among the rank and file troopers.

“Dammit, when we tell you to fire on a crowd of unarmed civilians, you *fire* on a crowd of unarmed civilians. If you refuse to get shot, how can we expect you to shoot others?”

More lives have been ruined by the draconian mandates than the virus itself. But moronic government, being what it is, can’t ever back down from an idiotic edict.

I was within four hours of being fired myself—before my employer reversed its decision and decided to accept my religious exemption.

They’ll sue and win in court. Massachusetts will be required to pay all lost wages and court costs. The troopers will be reinstated. You can look back and read this post 2 years from now.

The vaccine does not work. It doesn’t prevent you from getting sick, it does not prevent you from transmitting the illness; so it is not a vaccine by any definition of the word

The side effects are horrible

This makes no sense at all

“Tell them to come to Texas.”

Have you ever met a Massachusetts state trooper?

I have too many times in that state.

They have a very nasty attitude and will not be good fit for Texas.

The only times most people meet MA state troopers is when they pull you over. I am sure you are pleasant as well when that happens. I guess they shouldn’t pull you over, huh?
