The first major test of a vaccine mandate applied to municipal employees will take place this weekend in Chicago, where up to half of the city’s police force is set to defy the mandate by failing to report their vaccine status.
Officers and other city employees who fail to report their vaccination status by Friday will “be placed in a non-disciplinary, no pay status,” according to the mayor’s office…
“It’s safe to say that the city of Chicago will have a police force at 50% or less for this weekend coming up,” said Chicago Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara.
Although to be honest the police stand down threat brings to mind the eternal philosophical question: “If the police stand down in Chicago and nobody notices does it leave a mark?”
Just another typical weekend in Chicago
Well this is a fine kettle of fish. Fred C. Dobbs has captured the nature of the dilemma perfectly:
Governing Class: Get the failing vaccine or you have to stop working!
Working People: Okay, we'll stop working.
Governing Class: Uh....
Honestly, at this point it might be wise to reevaluate your city’s situation Mayor. You know, assess where the greater threat lies.
Note: that’s 214 child deaths due to COVID in the WHOLE COUNTRY.
For everyone else allow me to extend this sound advice, first proffered decades ago by Angela Davis, communist, black militant, college professor and Soledad Sistah:
The funny thing about Leftists - they never think their ideas will be used against them. That’s just one of the things that makes them stupid. And with that in mind I would like to salute The Reverend Al Sharpton for his keen observation and crisp delivery (I think he was Joe Biden’s understudy at one time, or maybe it was the other way around).
And they had the gall to ridicule Donald Trump’s oratory.
