Last week, over 2,000 of the city\u2019s firefighters called in sick ahead of the mandate\u2019s deadline.Quote Of The Day \u201cWe\u2019re not clear what the numbers are. We\u2019re not entirely clear how many fire companies will be closed today. We\u2019re expecting dozens. We\u2019re hoping fire coverage isn\u2019t impinged upon, but it\u2019s very hard to say at this time.\u201d \u00a0\u2013 FDNY Firefighters Association President Andrew Ansbro\u201cSick Out\u201dCity officials claim the sick leave was used as a protest against the city\u2019s vaccine mandate, but the head of a powerful union says firefighters needed time off to deal with the side effects of vaccine doses.Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro and other officials claimed firefighters were taking \u201cirresponsible bogus sick leave\u201d due to \u201canger at the vaccine mandate.\u201d\u00a0Andrew Ansbro, president of the Uniformed Firefighters Association, said firefighters were taking sick leave due to side effects of the COVID-19 vaccines. He said \u201chundreds\u201d of firefighters were feeling \u201cflu-like symptoms.\u201dThe union says Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) only gave the Fire Department nine days to comply with the mandate, leading to many people getting the shots around the same time.Jim McCarthy, president of the New York chapter of the Uniformed Firefighters Association, asked for more time to allow firefighters to get the shot or file their medical and religious exemptions. Some have even decided to retire rather than comply with the mandate.ImpactCity officials said around 84% of New York police officers had gotten at least the first dose by the deadline, as well as 75% of firefighters.\u00a0A significant number of police and firefighters could be placed on unpaid leave for failing to comply with the mandate.\u00a0Sean Krajacic-Pool\/Pool\/Getty Images3) Kyle Rittenhouse Trial BeginsThe Topline: The trial of Kyle Rittenhouse began on Monday. The 18-year-old is arguing that he shot three men in self-defense during riots in Wisconsin last year.BackgroundKyle Rittenhouse is an 18-year-old from a northern suburb of Chicago, about 15 miles from Kenosha, Wisconsin.\u00a0On August 25th of last year, when he was 17, Rittenhouse responded to calls on social media to go to Kenosha to protect businesses from looting and vandalism due to rioting sparked by the wounding of Jacob Blake, a black man, by a white police officer. He armed himself with a Smith &#038; Wesson M&#038;P15, a rifle police say his friend illegally bought for him, as well as a medical kit.\u00a0While Rittenhouse was patrolling the downtown Kenosha area, he was involved in several altercations which resulted in him fatally shooting two people and injuring a third person. Both Rittenhouse and the three men he shot are all white.\u00a0Before the shootings, Rittenhouse spoke to a reporter and said, \u201cIf there is somebody hurt, I\u2019m running into harm\u2019s way. That\u2019s why I have my rifle.\u201dKnown FactsRittenhouse was seen on camera being chased by a group of rioters, and one man charged at Rittenhouse throwing what appeared to be something inside a plastic bag, before appearing to attempt to take his rifle.\u00a0At that point, Rittenhouse fired four times at the man, who died shortly after. The other shootings happened a short time later in a different location. Rittenhouse claims, and cell phone video seems to corroborate, that he was running away from protesters and toward police at this point.\u00a0That\u2019s when Rittenhouse tripped and fell. While on the ground, one man kicked him, and Rittenhouse fired at him twice but missed.\u00a0Right after, with Rittenhouse still on the ground, more protesters began to attack him, with one man hitting him with a skateboard and attempting to take his rifle. Rittenhouse fired at the man once and killed him. Another man came up to Rittenhouse with a handgun, and Rittenhouse shot him too, injuring his arm but not killing him.The TrialJury selection for Rittenhouse\u2019s trial started on Monday in Kenosha.\u00a0He was arrested the day after the shootings and charged with several counts of homicide and attempted homicide as well as unlawful possession of a firearm. His friend was also arrested and charged with illegally supplying him with a firearm.\u00a0Legal experts say his self-defense case is strong, but if he loses, Judge Bruce Schroeder has a reputation for harsh sentences. However, the judge is also known for giving defendants a lot of leeway to make their case beforehand.\u00a0Prosecutors tried to bar the defense from referring to the men Rittenhouse shot as \u201crioters, looters, or arsonists,\u201d but the judge denied that request, saying the defense can refer to them that way if they provide evidence to support it. The judge also told prosecutors they can\u2019t refer to the men shot as \u201cvictims.\u201dMore DetailsThe prosecution has tried to tie Rittenhouse to the Proud Boys, a far-right men\u2019s group, suggesting racial motives, but his lawyers deny Rittenhouse is a member.\u00a0All three of the men Rittenhouse shot had criminal records. Joseph Rosenbaum, the first man Rittenhouse killed, was a registered sex offender, convicted of felony child sex abuse and was accused of molesting or raping five different boys between the ages of 9 and 11.Rittenhouse\u2019s lawyers wanted to argue that Rosenbaum tried to steal Rittenhouse\u2019s gun, because as a sex offender, Rosenbaum couldn\u2019t legally possess a gun himself.Kevin Winter\/Staff\/WireImage,\/Getty ImagesOther Stories We\u2019re TrackingAbortions In TexasSince a new Texas law banning abortions after fetal cardiac activity went into effect, the number of abortions performed in the state has fallen by nearly 50 percent compared to the previous year.
