2. And In Chicago There's A Showdown Between The FOP & Mayor Lightfoot.....

The FOP is the Fraternal Order of Police. They are saying that many cops will not be getting vaccinated by Oct 15th - the deadline the Mayor put on this mandate. They go on to say that be a 50% reduction of cops on the streets of Chicago - because of this.

If they don't comply - the Mayor said they won't get paid. The FOP says - if they don't get paid - they don't come to work.

It's going to be interesting to see how this pans out.

These people become cops 'to serve and protect' and they won't even protect themselves or their families because they refuse to get vaccinated.

I just don't understand them. Are they afraid to get stuck with a needle? Do they think they are being tough - by saying they don't need to be vaccinated? Are they all RWNJ's?

I just don't understand their motivation.
