Glen Fifield (@ISPLowell2) October 20, 2021Fox News reported on additional police departments in the state that do not have a vaccine requirement, noting, that, \u201caccording to Braun\u2019s team, [those] include Schererville Police Department and Merrillville Police Department, as well as the Lake County Sheriff\u2019s Office.\u201dAs reported by The Daily Wire, the Democratic Mayor of Chicago Lori Lightfoot has been in a back-and-forth battle with Chicago police and its main union over the city\u2019s vaccine mandate. The city and the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) have taken the matter to court in combatting lawsuits over the city\u2019s vaccine mandate requirements.\u00a0The Daily Wire reported, \u201cCity employees in Chicago were required to report their vaccination status to the city on Friday, but more than 3,200 Chicago police officers were refusing to do so as of Monday, according to the police union.\u00a0Chicago police officials warned last week that officers who refuse to comply with the vaccine mandate may face being disciplined or fired.\u201d\u00a0Last week, Chicago FOP President John Catanzara put out a\u00a0video\u00a0in which he said, \u201cDo not fill out the portal information. \u2026 I\u2019ve made my status very clear as far as the vaccine, but I do not believe the city has the authority to mandate that to anybody \u2014 let alone that information about your medical history.\u201d\u00a0He continued, \u201cI can guarantee you that no-pay status will not last more than 30 days. There\u2019s no way they\u2019re going to be able to sustain a police department workforce at 50% capacity or less for more than seven days without something budging.\u201d \u00a0On Monday, Lightfoot discussed the situation, saying, \u201cWhat we\u2019ve seen from the Fraternal Order Police, and particularly the leadership, is a lot of misinformation, a lot of half-truths, and frankly flat-out lies, in order to induce an insurrection.\u201dShe added, \u201cAnd we\u2019re not having that. So we want to make it very, very clear that the law\u2019s on our side. We feel very confident about it and what he said even after, what I heard that he said even after the lawsuit was filed and we notified them, is urging members of the department to ignore their chain of command.\u201dThe Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
