President of the Seattle Police Guild Mike Solan told 'The Faulkner Focus' Tuesday why his union members are pushing back on the vaccine mandate for officers, warning about how many cops are leaving the ranks.

SEATTLE POLICE UNION BLASTS ‘GROSS MISMANAGEMENT’ AFTER VACCINE MANDATE DEADLINE: 'PUBLIC SAFETY CRISIS'

MIKE SOLAN: That's something else, removing any diversity of thought. They want to cancel police unions because we're the last bastion of some type of reasonable pushback against the unreasonable political public safety messaging coming from our elected officials because it's the activist culture, especially here in Seattle, that are driving the public safety political discourse.

And since we've been so boisterous in our pushback against that. We're going against the norm and going against the norm is causing an optics problem for elected officials. This is an optics battle, especially in the media, and we're all in here to protect jobs and inform our community that we humbly serve of what the reality is. We're dealing with truths and facts.

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!'

Unions Push Companies as Workers Stay Scarce“There is a new militancy out there.” Frustration remains among some workers who have been required to work long hours through the pandemic while companies reap big profits from a rebounding economy, union officials and labor researchers said. horrible And unions don't like being told to make their members take vaccines without even being offered terms--not because they are against vaccines, but because they can't allow employers to roll over them, or else they are rendered impotent.

Police unions across U.S. urge members to defy vaccine mandates“Police officers have been on the front lines of battling the virus,” says Chris Hayes. “It would have made sense for every one of them to get vaccinated quickly—but that has not been the case. Instead, vaccination rates in police departments across the country lag behind the national average. And police unions have vehemently, strenuously pushed back against any sort of mandate.” chrislhayes The head of the NYPD union said that he was against mandatory vaccines because Cuomo didn’t let the police go to the front of the vaccine line last February.
