Opinion: To police officers who refuse to be vaccinated, we say: Good riddance.

Police officers who fail to take vaccine are a menace and should be fired These are the type of asshole cops who will fit in well for an asshole like Deathsantis

And lets be honest, privilege is something cops know a lot about. Though it would be very difficult to prove statistically, I strongly suspect that the officers quitting over vaccine mandates are much more likely than their vaccinated peers to embody everything thats wrong with American policing.
Ill bet theyre the ones with the strongest sense of entitlement, the loudest demands that we pay tribute to them, and the most vehement insistence that they never face accountability for misdeeds. Theyre the ones hoisting those vile thin blue line flags, and the ones who are all in on fascistic warrior cop ideology......
Were always told that police misconduct is just a matter of a few bad apples. Well heres a good way to identify at least some of the ones with no concern for the well-being of the people theyre supposed to be protecting.,,,
So far, that assumption has served them well, even as it does incalculable damage to the country. But if nothing else, perhaps well come out of this with fewer cops who should never have been on the job in the first place.
