A Staten Island judge on Wednesday shot down a last-minute attempt by the NYPD’s largest police union to fight the city’s mandate ordering cops to get jabbed this week.
Richmond County Supreme Court Judge Lizette Colon ruled that Mayor Bill de Blasio can enforce his COVID-19 vaccine mandate that requires all city workers, including members of the NYPD, to get their first dose by Friday 5 p.m. — or else be placed on unpaid leave.
The head of the Police Benevolent Association said though union lawyers will be in court on Thursday to appeal the ruling to New York’s Appellate Division as the hours tick down to the deadline.
Police Commissioner Dermot Shea pleaded — again — with cops in a new video to the police force to get the jab by Friday but said Monday is when the mandate will officially go into effect.
“On Monday, when this thing starts being enforced, and if you’re not vaccinated, no pay and you won’t be able to work,” Shea said in the video obtained by The Post. “I don’t think anyone wants that to happen … We need you out there. Please take advantage of the next few days and get vaccinated.”
Shea added if unvaccinated cops are scheduled to work over the weekend, they should still show up for their shifts.
What if the cop has already had COVID do they still have to get the shot? Seems wrong to me.
Welcome to Democrat Communism !!!!!!! Re-instate TRUMP to FIX things !!!!!!
Either PAY the Cops or Pay the Mob !!!!! Up to you !!!!!
Congressmen should have to get a stab before they get paid !!!!! LOL LOL
you. shoulda been smarter and studied harder in school. then you wouldnt be so beholden to your DemonicRat overlords!
yea, you win stupid comment of the day.
Move to Florida, DeSantis is hiring police without requiring unwanted medical procedures. Freedom is there, not in NY.
Maybe they should just comply.
Spoken like a true coward. Telling someone else to disavow their personal freedoms and beliefs because some wanna be dictator says to do so.
Wake up sheep!
And all these illegal s.o.b.’s that Biden is letting in from Mexico don’t have to be vaccinated. They don’t even test them to see if they have covid . Something wrong with this picture. Keep voting for Democrats and things will just get worse
Vaccine is also not mandated for Congress members or their aides…think about that.
Anti -Cop Democrats need to be FIRED !!!! Start with the Dirty New York Mayor !!!!!!!
