President John Catanzaro, the head of the Chicago police officers union has called on the union members to defy the city’s requirement to report their COVID-19 vaccination status by Friday or be placed on unpaid leave, predicting a shortage of officers as the mandate takes effect this weekend.
In a meeting on Wednesday night, he told members, “Hell no is the best way I can put it, across the board,” he told members. .
Catanzara suggested that if the city does enforce its requirement and many union members refuse to comply with it, “It’s safe to say that the city of Chicago will have a police force at 50% or less for this weekend coming up.”
In a recent video, Catanzara instructs officers to file for exemptions to receiving the vaccine but to not enter that information into the city’s vaccine portal.
He said that although he has made clear his vaccine status, “I do not believe the city has the authority to mandate that to anybody, let alone that information about your medical history.”
Violent crime has spiked in the city this year, from expressway shootings to a rise in carjackings. Chicago police reported 629 homicides this year through early October, compared with 605 during the same period last year and 402 in the same time frame in 2019.
Los Angeles police and county sheriff, and Seattle police are among the departments either under vaccine mandates or facing one.
Seattle is set to lose 40% of its force.

This could be big. There is evidence that airlines and Amtrak will fight the mandates.
My, my, my. Chicagostan is about to get really interesting. The murder rates will be off the charts for this weekend if the cops hold the line re: no vax.
The “beetlejuice” mayor is about to experience a tsunami of violence in that city unprecedented in history.
Except when the mongol hordes were on the loose way back when.
I wouldn’t go anywhere near that city in the future. Its just gonna be totally bonkers.
Just sayin’.
Today, I resign from my employer, informing it of a hostile work environment over the mandates. One of its more hilarious requirements is to wear an N95 mask at all times. I don’t need the job, I will wait for the class action suits.
Police should have been revolting long ago over leftist abuses of mayors. They would not act in the public interest, and now are acting in their own interests, to not be injected with poison.
We need quick justice. If only someone could set up a website posting the pictures/names of all of these tyrants (governors, county commissioners, school board superintendents) along
with a synopsis of their tyrannical actions. Seems it could be done free of any risks of defamation accusations, simply stating the facts (for example, commissioner Smith voted to force employees to vaccinate with a drug still in experimental stages or lose employment). This would haunt these people for the rest of their lives…legally. Possibly deter these kinds of acts…
In a weird way, some of these Blue State Mayors and Governors may be doing Conservatives a favor. If they are firing 10% to 20% of the workforce because they won’t get a Covid shot, they are reducing the size of Government by 10% to 20% and so Taxes should be going down. Don’t hold your breath on Taxes, but they will prove that the size of Government can be reduced.
So what will happen to all those Cops, Firemen and Medical Workers. Well they have skills and will eventually find a new job. My Doctor was in a Group practice and didn’t see eye to eye with the Group on a lot of Covid Issues. He left the Group and hung his Shingle out over in the next county. He also has taking in a lot of patients into his private practice.
Lizard Lightfoot don’t want no poleeces anyway, if they won’t pledge allegiance to the New World Order (coincidence theory).
Don’t be tapping the side of the fish bowl to make her eyes bug out. (wayciss!)
