First were the airline pilots and air traffic controllers in Jacksonville, Florida. Then came the ferry crews and public school bus drivers in the greater Seattle area.
Now the president of the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police, John Catanzara, is telling his members not to comply with mayor Lori Lightfoot’s {V@X} mandate for all city employees, calling it not only wrong, but also schizophrenic.
As reported by Amy Nelson of Fox News, “The mandate takes effect Friday and requires all police officers to be vaccinated or get tested for COVID-19 twice a week. Police are required to provide their vaccination status to the city by the end of the day.”
In an interview with Ainsley Earhardt on “Fox & Friends” (video below), Catanzara held little back (emphasis mine);
Catanzara estimated about half of his officers have been vaccinated, but he said even those who have received the vaccine agree that a mandate is wrong.
“Everything from this mayor is a dictatorship,” he said. “She just decided she was going to do it and push it on the entire city workforce across the board.”
Catanzara said the police department is not alone in pushing back on the mandate. He cited first responders, firefighters and labor unions who all expressed opposition.
“Everybody across the board is up in arms about this mandate.”
