San Diego is witnessing the largest exodus of police officers from the city since 2009 and the majority of them are quitting because of the city's continued obsession with covid vaccine mandates.
Perhaps the smartest move the people of Los Angeles County ever made was to elect Sheriff Alex Villanueva, who refused to enforce unconstitutional vax mandates. The decision probably saved them from losing a quarter or more of their law enforcement officers within the sheriff's department.
Contrast this with the LAPD, which was not so lucky. Officers have quit in droves or were fired, with over 2200 employees refusing to comply. This has been a repeating situation across California, and San Diego is the latest region to suffer considerable losses of LEO's over vax mandates.
More than 230 San Diego police officers have left city employment in the 2022 fiscal year alone (252 sworn deputies in 2021), totaling around 22% of all deputies in active service.
City officials are scrambling to increase incentives to lure new officers into the ranks, including the approval of a 10% pay raise, but many within the department were well aware that this outcome was looming. Officials now say replacing deputies as fast as they exit will be impossible.
Meanwhile, the lack of officers has led to horrendous wait times for emergencies, according to anonymous SDPD officer the_disgruntled_po3.
Jared Wilson, president of the San Diego Police Officers Assn., says that the covid mandates were the breaking point for many deputies. This is not at all surprising. The aggressive nature of California's enforcement of covid vaccines is rather bizarre given that most of the rest of the country has moved on and abandoned mandates altogether. California's political inclinations are dominated by Democrats and the left, and it seems that once they decide they want something they aren't going to stop until they get it, no matter how unnecessary.
This attitude once again shows that such mandates are more about control than about public health or safety, given they are costing major CA cities a large percentage of their police force at a time when homicide rates are rising by 17% and property crime rose by 7% overall, climbing to pre-pandemic levels after lockdowns kept the public indoors in 2020 and most of 2021.
Economic declines within the state are likely to lead to even more criminal activity and city residents are starting to question the anti-police rhetoric of many far-left representatives. There have already been major political upsets, with a progressive district attorney recalled in San Francisco and a former Republican candidate elected for Mayor in LA. It would seem that crime, rather than covid, is now at the top of the worry list of the average Californian, but sitting leaders still don't seem to get it.
Who is John Galt?
Ah, the absurdity (and totalitarianism) of mandating a “vaccine” with efficacy near ZERO...
Look and listen.
They need a ‘my body my choice’ sign in that group
Citizens must always be equipped to step in when Law Enforcement fails us.
I don't know of any good statistics about the ^ of vaxxxed who are killed, the % who are disabled, the % who have serious side effects but we do know that RARE is not the correct word to sue. Probably the best description now IS COMONON SIDE Effets.
How many of the 78% of the vaxxxxxxe cops will die in the next 5 years from the vaxxxxxxine? In five years, we'll probably have an accurate figure but by then, the eugenics crowd led by Bill Gates will have killed millions of he vaxxxxed.
If millions of Americans die in the next 5 years Bill Gates and his fellow travelers will be hunted down worldwide and hung by mobs. Their money will not save them.
All part of the plan. A corrupt government needs a compliant police force to assist in the takeover. The vaccine mandate is a useful tool to eliminate dissenters.
Destroy local police forces so that the cities plead the feds to step in to help.

Same Vile POA/Tool is eliminating our military dissenters!
22 % to vax mandates!? Holy cow, that doesn’t even take into account: those on leave, maternity leave, FMLA, training, active duty deployments, workman’s comp, retirement, early retirment, moving to a friendlier red state. They may very well lose 50% of the force in total. Disaster!
BTTT!!!
IF I win Lottery $$$$$ & can find a large parcel for a new property/ranch—I will seek to hire a former Border Patrol or Police officer for security. LIVE on property.
22%.
A number very much in line with there being an estimated 74 million Americans who have refused the vaxx.
Hard to believe that vax mandates are still a thing now that most of the world has gotten back to normal and that COVID has been exposed to be nothing more than a minor flu to most of the people who get it.
“Destroy local police forces so that the cities plead the feds to step in to help.”
^THIS
Really? A little evidence would be nice.
That’s nothing. The despotic governor of WA Inslee has mandated that all, repeat all state workers must be vaxxed. That includes the highway patrol, ferry workers, road workers. We’ll see how this plays out.
