Entire Chicago police force threatens to quit over vaccine mandate: “This has literally lit a bomb underneath the membership,” said Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara. “We’re in America, Goddamn it. We don’t want to be forced to do anything. Period. This ain’t Nazi fucking Germany.”

“The comparison of mandatory vaccinations to Nazi Germany and the Holocaust is factually incorrect and deeply offensive to the millions of innocent people killed at the hands of the Nazis”

Please tell me how it is possible for someone who is dead to be offended.

maybe some strong reaction like this will wake up some of the tyrant-wannabees that they'd best think twice about the path they were planning

    Amazing to think the entire world still thinks they were the bad guys

    In this case the comparison is direct and accurate.

    Mandatory vaccines of any kind are a violation of basic human rights. Personal bodily autonomy and sovereignty are essential in the maintenance of basic freedom. Anything that threatens that basic freedom is tyranny.

    Absolutely. A minor edit, though I'm nitpicking. Personal bodily autonomy is the very definition of freedom. Without that, we have nothing.

    Agreeing with you, just saying it slightly differently. Sorry for being annoying. :S

    [–]GST893 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

    Not annoying at all. I appreciate sentiment.

    Now we're talking!!

    I've been wanting to see this since the covid restrictions began.

    Police are people too. Just like all groups of people, there are good ones and bad ones.

    We need to talk to the good ones! I've been doing this in my own community (not Chicago) for exactly this purpose. If the powerful are going to set up the totalitarian system they want, they must enforce it. That requires manpower. If we show the good cops what they are being asked to enforce, let's pray they do exactly what they're threatening here. Are there a portion of very bad cops in there? Absolutely yes. That's a separate issue, which we must continue to address. But drop the ACAB bullshit, because it is not helpful.

    Enough! Walk away! Cops like this need support.

    Awesome whitepill, thanks. We need more positive news like this.

    [–]mahavishnunj 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

    not a fan of cops, but thats pretty badass.

    I feel like he shouldn't be swearing and comparing it to nazis. Stay calm. I wish they'd focus on how if you get sick long term from the vaccine you can't sue them because of their immunity. If it's so safe why the need for immunity. This isn't as bad as Nazi Germany unless you think the holocaust didn't happen and they just made the jews go around with the star symbols on in order to work or travel.

    [–]GST893 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    No it's not as bad as the height of Nazi Germany, but things like these mandates are what led to the Nazi's doing what they ended up doing. This is tyranny, period.

    [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    well don't compare it to nazis unless it gets as bad as the height of nazi germany

    it dilutes the effect of that argument. Nazis did a lot of things. They built the autobahn so is having roads and bridges nazi-ish now? Sounds like a silly argument right, I'm not making it just comparing bad arguments.

    What led to the nazis doing what they were doing was after WWI jews had taken over germany and their economic policies led to the great depression. If men have hunger in their belly they revolt, happened many times thru history. That might happen here again but economy isn't that bad, yet.

    I feel like he shouldn't be swearing and comparing it to nazis.

    if you cant figure out how thats EXACTLY what this shit is like, i dont think you are able to be helped.

    [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

    ehhh why exagerrate, are people in gas chambers or forced to be slaves yet

    It's clownish whoever does that comparison. Woke people saying Trump is hitler too despite him being pro israel as hell.

    [–]StillLessons 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    There were Nazis before there were gas chambers and concentration camps. Your argument is that we should wait until they build the camps and start executing people before we acknowledge this is the same ideology. Saving lives and preventing horror requires recognizing what these people are capable of before they do it. Wake up.

    the ignorance with this entire reply is so strong, i couldnt tell if youre a bot or not. but the misspellings and trump thing lead me to believe you are human. which is even worse. not entirely convinced either way, but i do know-youre out of it. man, so much dumb to dissect there...

    settle down chief

    [–]HibikiBlack 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    That's what I'm talking about...

    [–]MagicMike 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    Chicago IS a one party city mostly run by rich shitheels and knee grows. So Chief, it IS a Nazi state.

    [–]Blackbrownfreestuff 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    Yes, this.

    [–]Canbot 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    We need more of this kind of solidarity. People who got vaxed should be standing up with those who don't want it for the freedom to choose.

    [–]IkeConn 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    I would love to see this happen in a Democrat shithole city. The apes would burn the place down.

    [–]Blackbrownfreestuff 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    I got really excited when democrats were calling to "defund the police". I was disappointed when they pussyed out.
