Natural immunity is not being taken into consideration.\u00a0ReactionsMike Solan, the president of the Seattle Police Officers Guild, which represents all Seattle police officers, argued that officers should have the option to wear face masks or get tested regularly for COVID-19 without having their current assignments stripped.\u00a0Solan accused the mayor of being unreasonable for not providing other options. He noted crime is surging in Seattle and said the community\u2019s demanding more police officers to answer the 911 calls.\u00a0FalloutEarlier this month, the department told all officers, including detectives and non-patrol officers, to be prepared to respond to 911 calls in case hundreds of officers are fired for failing to comply with the mandate.\u00a0Seattle business owners told local news outlets that they are worried about break-ins and declining tourism, and some worry 911 response times could be longer if the force is severely understaffed.\u00a0Chris Gardner\/Stringer\/Getty Images3) Washington State Football Coach Fired Over Vaccine RefusalThe Topline: Washington State University head football coach Nick Rolovich was fired Monday after refusing to comply with the state\u2019s vaccine mandate and filing for a religious exemption.Coach RolovichIn July, Washington State football coach Nick Rolovich announced he would not receive the COVID-19 vaccine, which forced him to remotely attend the Pac-12 media days. The university had a vaccine mandate in place, but there were policies and procedures for those who were not vaccinated.The FalloutRolovich asked for a religious exemption, but the state appears to have turned it down.On Monday evening, the university announced that Rolovich and four assistant coaches were fired for refusing to be vaccinated. Washington State athletic director Pat Chun confirmed Rolovich\u2019s firing was for cause, meaning he will not be paid for the remainder of his contract which runs through 2025.\u00a0Sean Rayford\/Stringer\/Getty ImagesOther Stories We\u2019re TrackingKidnappingThe gang that kidnapped 17 Christian missionaries in Haiti on Saturday, including 5 children, is now demanding a ransom of $1 million for each person they are holding.\u00a0\u201cThe president has been briefed and is receiving regular updates on what the State Department and the FBI are doing to bring these individuals home safely.\u201d\u2013 White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Monday. \u00a0Ahmaud ArberyJury selection for the Ahmaud Arbery case has begun, and is reportedly off to a slow and painstaking start. Court officials have stated the process could take more than two weeks. The trial is expected to begin in November.\u00a0Qualified ImmunityOn Monday, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of police in two separate cases, voting to uphold qualified immunity, which protects officers from many civil lawsuits. No justices publicly dissented from the decisions, indicating the Supreme Court has little appetite for overturning precedent on this matter. \u00a0 The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
