We should probably force them into labor camps

Hope they all lose their retirement benefits.

When Raegan (sic) did it to the air traffic controllers republican's didn't care, They hate unions.

You DO realize that the Chicago police are unionized, don't you?

You DO realize that the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police Union president John Catanzara is encouraging his members to defy the vaccination order because it is illegal, stating the city didn’t negotiate terms with the union, don't you?

You can't hold unions up as the saviors of the common working man who Republicans hate while giving them a pass on defying enforced vaccinations which you also vociferously support.

There can be no contradictions.

New York City will exile Thomas Jefferson's statue from a prominent spot in city hall

As in the above, we tend to go too far...Cops are a good example too..

I favor vax mandates...but there is more to this story....

Cops are in the burnt out, under paid under appreciated category... They have an impossible job, expected to do everything, and no matter how well they do it, someone will complain..They volunteer to hold one of the very few jobs you can have where you can lose your life any given day....

Most cops want reform,,,,But they can't afford malpractice ins and they work for someone, a city.....

There are common sense solutions, if you can get past the extremes, as usual,,,,Till then...

In any other atmosphere I bet most wouldn't make a fuss, but I think this has some underlying issues......

Question, without cops, what will we have? Anarchy

So lets not throw the baby out with the bath water,,,
