1. There are no words to describe how UNNATURAL all of this seems to me.......

Used to be the cops would put themselves in harm's way to save lives... I truly just DO NOT GET THIS.

2. Fire the non-compliant cops

and put the blame squarely on their heads.

5. There is no authority that is going to tell authoritarians what to do

There is no authority that is going to tell authoritarians what to do, damn it!

Got to keep bad cops on the streets so bad things don't happen in the neighborhoods.

Or so I have been told by so-called authorities who choose to put us all in danger.

6. In other words, get sick and die.

It's okay. Get sick rather than take the vaccine. Yep, that's the way to own the libs.

My empathy level for these idiots gets lower every day. Right now it's about a mile below the bottom of the Marianas Trench.

7. John Catanzara

needs to go. I don't know how that happens with the FOP, but he has been a thorn in the side of the Chicago Police Department for a long time, and definitely a problem since being elected president of the union. A real loser.

In February 2021, Catanzara was suspended without pay from the Chicago Police Department for authoring a series of obscene and inflammatory social media posts, making false reports and being insubordinate or disrespectful to supervisors.[9][10][11] In August 2021, he was criticized by mayor Lori Lightfoot, the Anti-Defamation League, and the American Jewish Committee for his comments comparing vaccine mandates to The Holocaust.

Meanwhile, the president of Chicago’s FOP, John Catanzara is defending the rioters. He’s come out in support of their violent actions justifying and normalizing their attack on the Capitol — that claimed the lives of two Capitol Police officers — and downplaying the threat rioters posed. It’s dangerous and needs to be stopped.

That's why, in partnership with Police Unions Exposed, we're calling for Catanzara to be removed immediately. The longer Catanzara remains in power, serving as the mouthpiece for 12,000 Chicago police officers, the more these pro-Trump white supremacists will feel empowered in their violent actions — in Illinois, in D.C., and across the country.

Just last month, Catanzara was placed under investigative review. He is now facing possible firing over racist and offensive posts on social media, including a post that read, “savages they all deserve a bullet,” when referring to Muslim people. Along with these comments, he’s also posted similarly bigoted remarks about women and liberals and about former First Lady Michelle Obama. The Police Board is still considering whether or not to fire Catanzara over these atrocious remarks -- this is a board composed of civilians who are appointed by Mayor Lightfoot. They have the power to fire Catanzara at any point.

8. Doesn't Seem There's Much Law & Order In Chicago Anyways

A slash in the number of police on duty probably won't impact it too much.

9. It'll cut down on the number of unwarranted police shootings.

11. Insensitive comment at best. nt

12. I've never been known on D.U.

for my sensitivity.

14. I've never been known on D.U.

for my sensitivity.

But anyways, the point of my post is that the antivaxers are most likely to be pro-Trump, racists. They are the ones more likely to have used excessive force or even killed minorities.

As my friend Len use'ta say, "Balls to 'em."

15. Thanks for clarifying. nt
