Mayor Jenny Durkan (D) issued the mandate last month, which has required all city workers to be vaccinated by October 18 or be fired.<\/p>\n<p>According to Seattle\u2019s Jason Rantz Radio Show, more than 200 officers either haven\u2019t been vaccinated or have refused to hand over their private medical data. Seattle has already lost about 300 officers over the push to defund the police, which resulted in a surge in violent crime.<\/p>\n<p>The city has been in negotiations with the President of the Seattle Police Officer\u2019s Guild, Mike Solan, who said the mandate didn\u2019t make any sense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re advocating for more police officers because you know crime is on the rise, you need more cops because of what the city council did, why are you threatening us with our jobs if we don\u2019t get this vaccination?\u201d Solan questioned. \u201cIt\u2019s unbelievable to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for the mayor said they hoped terminations wouldn\u2019t be necessary. However, if the officers chose to not get vaccinated, Seattle would lose about 20 percent of its already depleted police force.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<br \/>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vMyAG1Lha1\">https:\/\/t.co\/vMyAG1Lha1<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rKWzrJ3DBS\">pic.twitter.com\/rKWzrJ3DBS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Seattle Police Officers Guild (@SPOG1952) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SPOG1952\/status\/1424883494862278657?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 10, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/afghan-evacuees-challenge-blinken-whats-your-plan\/\">Afghan Evacuees Challenge Blinken: What\u2019s Your Plan?<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan (D) at Seattle City Hall in Seattle, Washington.
