Police Union Boss Urges Chicago Cops to Defy Mayor’s Vaccine Mandate
By Debra Heine
October 15, 2021

A Chicago police union boss has instructed officers to defy the city’s upcoming COVID-19 vaccination reporting mandate, and predicted that at least half of the police force could be taken off the streets, this weekend.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced in August a directive ordering city workers to report their vaccination status by Friday, October 15.  The mandate requires all police officers to be vaccinated or get tested for COVID-19 twice a week. Police are supposed to provide their vaccination status to the city by the end of the day.  ...

F.O.P. President John Catanzara said earlier this week that he would take Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s administration to court if it enforced the mandate.

“I do not believe the city has the authority to mandate that to anybody, let alone that information about your medical history,” he said. ... Story at American Greatness

Mayor Lori Lightfoot of Chicago claimed on Monday that those police officers who oppose the vaccine mandate in the Windy City are attempting to "induce an insurrection."

When asked about the police union's refusal to back the city's vaccine mandates, Lightfoot said, "What we've seen from the Fraternal Order of Police, in particularly leadership, is a lot of misinformation, a lot of half truths, and, frankly, flat out lies in order to induce an insurrection. And we're not having that." ...

So "Insurrection" is the latest word Progs will be misusing into meaninglessness? Or is there another they're working on?
I am not and never have been a leftist.

If The Vaccine is deadly as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, millions now living would have died.

When everything is an insurrection, nothing is an insurrection.
