covered police officers. City attorneys recommended the city move forward with a citywide vaccination mandate that included police.
A 2019 file photo of a Portland police officer. On Sept 8, 2021, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler announced that he will not be mandating the city’s police force get vaccinated.“I still am strongly encouraging police officers to get vaccinated,” the mayor said in a statement. “Our City leaders have decided we want to lead by example, and science has proven that vaccines are the most effective tool to end this pandemic.
Juan Chavez, an attorney with the Oregon Justice Resource Center, said he felt the city attorney had jumped the gun by basing the decision not off of a court ruling, but an inconclusive statement from OHA that came formatted as questions and answers.
OPB FtVancouverNPS GovInslee interstate Portland is not an Oregon city
OPB Does that mean that they have to stay 6 ft away from us at all times? Better.
OPB
OPB Their slogan should be” I serve my own political views and if I have time I will protect the public”
OPB There will almost certainly be some lawsuits here. Fortunately, Scotus resolved this in 1905, Jacobson vs Massachusetts, and upheld it in 1922.
OPB 👎
OPB 'For now, the president is simply 'asking' states to follow the example of places like California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, New Jersey, New Mexico, [NY], Oregon, Washington, [DC] and Puerto Rico.' Is this the example you want to set, Portland?
OPB What about the Federal Rule on this mandate... surely PPD has more than 100 employees?
OPB Yet another way to get murdered by police. Cool.
OPB Shame on Portland
OPB
OPB Sounds like a pretty stupid policy to me. Portland city employees who can’t think for themselves and get the vaccine will get what’s coming to them in no time, compliments of the city fathers and COVID.
OPB Who cares that COVID was the number one killer of cops in 2020. To 2021 and beyond!
OPB Then keep them away from the public.
OPB PortlandPolice Hey police officers be leaders get vexed.
OPB Every state has its own laws and rules no wonder no one takes this laws seriously, this justice system is fu** up.
OPB Stop going to Portland everybody
OPB They’re not really serving or protecting the public if they’re getting sick/spreading disease.
OPB “Protecting and serving” the public? They won’t even protect their own families.
OPB Sounds like the state legislators should have some work to do.
OPB Hey if they don’t like the rules they can QUIT AND APPLY FOR A JOB SOMEWHERE ELSE.
bluedillygal OPB They should ALL WearADamnMask!!
OPB That’s stupid
OPB Typical, 'Do as I say, not as I do' politicians!
OPB Well now there is a federal mandate. Get them vaccinated. They are first responders.
OPB lol... as if I have a problem with cops voluntarily eradicating themselves😂😂😂
OPB 99% of people in the US had vaccinations in school. School mandated vaccines - tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, polio, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, influenza , and HPV. BUT it's crazy to add COVID. How dumb have we become. howdumbrwe
OPB The mayor/police chief wheeler? Haha. Wonder why he would allow exceptions for police officers?
OPB What?
OPB It would be a new way for police to kill suspects by forcing them to be held close to an infected officer.
OPB I’m sure that offends their authoritarian sensibilities.
OPB Lol. Our WWIII liberators look on with derision 🇨🇳🇨🇳
OPB
OPB The Portland police should be mandated to be vaccinated. The city has been a clusterfuck of crime a political violence (mostly left wing but some right wing, too) for like 18 mos +. Hey, npr, glad we could finally fit your narrative. Sincerely, once an avid fan/listener.
OPB Bad move. Police should be leading this rather than showing their right wing nuttery
OPB “Law and order for ye, bu not for me,” said almost all cops
OPB Hmmmm…if you wanted to eliminate the police force without having to say you want to eliminate the police force…
OPB It should be choice. Just a flu vaccine anyway. Doesn't work till you get sick. And worse than a unvaxed person. It's not the be all beat all..
OPB Awesome.
OPB Well we would hope that anyone who is smart enough to be a policeman would be smart enough to be vaccinated without being mandated to do so. I mean the guys carrying a gun if he doesn't have the common sense to get a vaccination, he shouldn't have the job in the first place.
OPB
OPB Ain't that some bullshit, Portland
OPB why not... police are pretty much exempt from every other law anyway.🙄🤡
OPB Fuck that...
OPB Good. You people forcing this vaccine on others are complete psychopaths who get off on forcing your agenda on others.
OPB They heard the vaccine is Antifa.
OPB Why is it not mentioned that the mayor of Portland is also the Police Commissioner?
OPB Then they should give the Oregon State trooper his job back. He only freed, our guys in blue. All he did was talk about him not getting enough time to race
OPB NO Shots No Job!
OPB Has Oregon always been that quiet cousin with “issues” that no American ever talks about?
OPB How do I reverse like a post?
OPB Makes total fucking sense. 🙄 what are they going to call it? Qualified Immunity…
OPB Leftists be like, screw laws if it’s for YouR SaFeTy!
