Cops Unmasked

There are policemen in the subways Who refuse to wear their masks. Ironic, since enforcement Of that rule’s among their tasks. When a patron on the platform Asked some cops if they’d obey, They at first pretended that because His mask was in the way… They couldn’t hear him but, of course, Somebody filmed the scene, So everyone could see the cop Was simply being mean. What followed was much worse; that cop And partner pushed the guy Right through the exit with no Legal explanation why. With half the force unvaccinated, Masks should be required And those who won’t obey should be Suspended, fined or fired.

I agree with you. Too bad, thanks to Dr. Fauci's half-truths, politicians' posturing, and 'Science' not making the case that sometimes their positions do change based on the facts and the research, over 30% of the country will never get vaccinated, no matter what. Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden's handling of the whole mess -- execrable. Dr. Faucci's -- beyond horrible. ~ gw, who just got his booster (3rd) shot happily, but sure wishes this country would turn sane again.

Honolulu had a police officer who refused vaccination although he had only one year to go before retirement. Most people agreed he should be fired for putting the public at a completely unnecessary health risk (his wife had been vaccinated). On his last day, he suddenly recanted. Like Rolovich, people in authority bear the responsibility of behaving like a good role model, and should be fired when they lead people astray!

I'm with you, Ilene, but when I take this stance, I get lambasted. I remember when Reagan fired all the ATC people because they wouldn't obey orders. Perhaps that should be done; on the other hand, who will pick up the slack??? It's a real quandary.
