Hey if police should have it or lose the job. Then ever citizen refusing to get it or should be arrested. It’s only fair

Chicago Police Officers worked throughout the pandemic when there was no vaccine available, why should they be forced to put medicine in their body they obviously don’t need? GLFOP

If they give people the covid we should be able to sue them right? It's only fair! And I mean them as individuals right along with they're union!

Who knew a vaccine would get rid of the blue virus too, time to recruit new cops - plenty of unemplyed vaccinated chicagoans

This is Wrong so very very wrong ! Don’t you see🤔👩🏽🙏🏽

Fire them,they clearly don’t want to follow orders and have no interest in public safety.

🇺🇸Applause to the men and women of Chicago’s finest who will surrender their pay and benefits in defense of their rights Not to take a forcible jab of an experimental chemical cocktail. America is now close to losing all our Navy Seal Teams. No Mandates for them~

Serve and protect unless you have to take a needle that saves lives

Look at survival rate before the Coronavirus vaccine came out 99.9% of people recovered from the Coronavirus They naturally recovered, because their immune system beat the virus Today 99% of people still recover from the Coronavirus So why all of this pushing vaccines on people

Police that want to endanger the public should take the firing and let responsible people take their slots.

What if murder rates fall when these lawful police quit their jobs

I set a reminder in my phone that pops up and says “time to argue with The LOSERS”. And of course by losers I mean the gender confused LibbyPoon skittlehead freak shows.

F'em

I guess that 'Protect and Serve' means nothing to the Police anymore?

It took 50 years----to create the Polio vaccine It took 27 years----to create the Flu vaccine It took 20 years----to create a Chickenpox vaccine It took 16 years-----to create a Hepatitis B vaccine It took a few months to create Coronavirus vaccine

Former police chief: It's 'baffling' officers are ignoring vaccine mandatesNBC News correspondent Meagan Fitzgerald and retired Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best joined Stephanie Ruhle to discuss news that thousands of law enforcement officers are ignoring Covid-19 vaccine mandates. Best says it 'truly saddens' her and could result in people leaving the profession for good. Really? Baffling that someone stands up for their freedom of choice? Freedom to do with their bodies what they want? Isn't that the same argument you libs make for women and their right to abortion? Your hypocrisy and 'logic' are stunning! 'Take a vaccine' 'y?' 'It greatly reduces the odds you'll get sick, pass a virus to others & die' 'i HATE that!'

This is awesome! The police are finally taking out their own trash! 1 cause of death for cops in 2020 and 2021 so far is Covid-19. With this data, it makes NO sense the hesitancy of officers in the CPD to get vaccinated. SMH. Get Vax. Set good examples for everyone to be safe
