A group of Los Angeles Police Department employees has filed a federal lawsuit challenging the city's mandate that all L.A. employees be vaccinated against COVID-19.

A group of Los Angeles Police Department employees has filed a federal lawsuit challenging the city’s mandate that all L.A. employees be vaccinated against COVID-19.

The six LAPD employees suing include individuals “who could not assert a medical or religious exemption” to the vaccine requirement, as well as individuals who have “experienced and recovered from COVID-19" and have natural antibodies to fight the virus, the complaint states. It alleges that commanders have called unvaccinated officers “unfit for duty” and told them that they would be denied promotions and special assignments based on their unvaccinated status.

If you're gonna get close enough to me to beat me with a truncheon, please get vaccinated.

Lmfao

Looks like there’s going to be lots of openings at the LAPD. These are not officers who will protect and serve. These officers directly endanger the public.

As a City of Los Angeles civil servant, this really makes me angry. If you value your personal freedoms MORE than your duties as public servant to the people, then please choose a new line of work; do not sue the City. This is a matter of publichealth, not individual liberties!

I went from defending cops to Fuk the police all in the space of about 20 years. Unsurprising that it parallels the rise of cell phone footage showing what MANY cops are really like.

The picture shows your bias against the police. You mean you had no other file photo than the cops with their batons out?

As if the gang within the LAPD wasn’t enough to make us question whose side they are on.

Sounds like some cops aren't there to protect and serve. Many jobs have had vaccination requirements for decades. Maybe Fox News can hire them for security? Oh, wait, they have a vaccination requirement to work there too.

Fire them all! LAPDHQ

Fire them all!

If cops want to die instead of getting a vaccine that is effective against a highly contagious airborne virus, I’m not mad at them.

Let them quit their jobs, for many employees anyway. One that does not use the turn signal and then there are 6-8 police cars!

It would be cheaper with a better outcome to just get vaccinated.

To not protect ourselves or the community because we’re being self serving

How is it that your motto, probably not verbatim, is to “protect and serve,” yet you won’t protect yourself and co-workers with a vaccine that will help serve your community better?

Not surprised

They can quit.

do not get vaccinated..fuck police🖕🏽🖕🏽

Stupid!

Get the shot or get a new job, I am sick of hearing this crap stop putting other life’s at risk being a police officer or any other city employee is of Service be of service or get out! There are plenty who would love a good city job

Good. Both the vaccine and the virus are designed to shut down your pineal gland but it does much worse than just that.

Stand by and watch proud boys terrorize journalists and citizens but, a vaccine? Nah we are organizing and suing.

If you have to deal with the public, you should be vaccinated.

Ah for fuck's sake! Grow up and get vaccinated! My 4 year old and 5 year old know better!

You’d think police officers wouldn’t be whiny little people. I guess we can take the “protect” off the logo.

Let them quit or fire them. LAPD needs to clean house.

It’s just a little shot sissies.

Maybe the city’s response should be verbiage they’re familiar with. Perhaps, ‘Stop Resisting’.

What percentage of LAPD workers actually live in the City of Los Angeles? Would the answer to that have any bearing on such a law suit?

Republicans people care about anything anymore.

We really hate free healthcare in America

Good job!

Now we know how truly ignorant these people are. We trust them with guns?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

stand with the blue StopillegalVaccinemandates

Go cry about it somewhere else. Die mad. It’s legal. You can always quit. And I’m a LEO wife. Policing doesn’t need a$$hats like this on the job.

I surely hope these guys lose this lawsuit and leave the force. We need police that want to protect and serve and these guys aren’t that.

So much for “protect and serve.”

Then quit. I don’t need public servants infecting me.

More people have died from catching covid than people who’ve been vaccinated. The vaccine will not kill you. You will not become a mutant. You think a mask and sanitizer will protect you, it doesn’t.

They're welcome to quit if they hate public safety that much.

Outrageously sick

LAPD sure employs a bunch of drama queens.

Good

Cops get so mad about how they aren’t respected anymore, then turn around and do entitled shit like this.

Most LAPD cops unemployable if not cops. Call their bluff. Friggin macho bs. What else you gonna do bro? You want those pensions and benefits real bad. Yea, tell your spouse you’re too macho for a shot!

tell them if they don't like it to quit and think of the safety of the people they are suppose to protect

Tired of this BS. LAPD can take unpaid leave (like United Airlines), or get vaccinated. It undermines readiness and morale for these jackasses to be a constant health threat to their colleagues and the public they SERVE. Not to mention staffing problems. Bye.

Zabehulah_M33 if the Taliban needs recruits, plenty of LAPD cops are about to be jobless. I can't vouch for their qualifications though.

And once they get Covid God forbid… They will be crying 😭…. I should’ve taken the vaccine 😭😭😭😭

They should all be vaccinated

Your “oath” is to protect the public! How can you enforce law & order when you fail to follow?Soooo long!!! Farewell

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

I wonder how they could have forgotten all of their own who died from COVID.

Bye felicia

Defund them!

LAPD make sense for rights

Bye Felicias

What do you know.. PDs agreeing with right wing policy garb

Covid is so politicized that cops can’t even do the right thing.

Protect and serve right I went through a check point the other day and the cops were not wearing masks.

Hope they all get fired. City will be safer without them.

Idiots

Fire them. Hire some new, young, woke officers who are vaccinated.

This has gotten ridiculous. Someone needs to round up republican congress people and tell them either knock off the lies or indictments will be coming their way. Endangerment.

Savings here on pensions.

Oh, just quit.

these cops are like 40 year old kids 'threatening' to move out of the house - we're trying to throw you out, so get the fk out already .. 'freedom' starts with self employment - get into it ..

They’ll lose.

the people want the cops' budgets cut in half anyways - so goodbye and good riddance - dirty cops and deputies will all find gainful employment in the food services and housekeeping industries .. amazon's hiring - go there dred ..

Fire them. If you can get vaccinations for other things, then it's your choice to get fired. They're all KKK anyway.

You can't protect or serve the public as a likely vector for disease. Get your shots or stay home.

Los Angeles schools are requiring vaccinations for eligible students. Hear what parents have to sayLos Angeles Unified School District officials said they want to guarantee that children attend classes in person, not online -- which is why they voted to require vaccinations against Covid-19 for all eligible students in a move that was praised by the teacher's union and many parents. Then they have a choice. They can do school online. Too many kids in LAUSD. You have to mandate or the virus will spread and spread and you'll be quaranteeing and testing forever. Do the right thing. Kids need to be in school with masks. Isn't a year long enough for them to be out. Stop playing politics with this issue. Except for those with a bona fide medical reason, what kind of parent would object to their student being vaccinated?
