A judge tonight issued a restraining order against Frat Order of Police Pres John Catanzara to prohibit him from posting on social media or making any statements telling officers to refuse to get the vaccine. Chicago also filed a lawsuit against him for endangering public safety.

3. Excellent

4. The only thing cops fear more than not having unlimited power

is having less pay. I use to know lots of cops.

5. Explain to me why this is a judicial matter.

He’s telling his Union members they don’t have to get a COVID vaccination. That me be a stupid opinion which puts his members at risk of losing their jobs, but I don’t see the legal violation.

6. He's such a wind bag..what he has said is total disinformation.

7. I'm guessing the last three words of the tweet hold the key.

[Mr.Bill]

8. I guess like the tweet said,

"endangering public safety".

[Progressive Jones]

9. It was very stupid for the Chicago FOP to elect this punk as their president.

He's a shitty cop and a troublemaker. Racist as fuck, too.

10. in other words the perfect union president nt

11. in 2017, Cataranza stated of Muslims: "Savages they all deserve a bullet."

He defended the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol by Trump supporters, stating that: "They’re individuals ... They get to do what they want."

what a fucking shitehawk

15. By making that statement he demonstrates he is a racist and not professional.

[dsc]

13. because he is instructing them to disobey the rules of the work place

[brooklynite]

14. And why is that a legal matter?

It might be a civil matter if someone is fired after following such advice. It doesn't seem to be one now.

[live love laugh]

16. Threatening public safety should be a legal matter. That's what he did instructing cops to show up

and let “them” tell the cops they can’t work.

He’s a POS 💩

[njhoneybadger]

17. Because he is making threats of a strike or work stoppage which is illegal.

Judge Horan ruled that the city had shown that Catanzara’s comments on YouTube, Fox News and on Twitter likely threatened public safety.

19. "endangering public safety."

[mountain grammy]

12. Stupid trumper.. protect and serve who?

[KS Toronado]

18. Agreed, not hard to see his true colors
