Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) are at odds over whether or not to allow children to be immunized against childhood vaccines. The mayor wants to mandate that all children be vaccinated, but the FOP doesn't want to go that route. The two sides disagree, and now the mayor is suing CPS to force them to allow their children to get them. Will CPS agree to a vaccine mandate? Or will they continue to refuse to do so? Will the mayor get what she wants, or will the cops walk off the job? Is it the mayor or the police union that is the problem, or is it the vaccine mandate issue? What will CPS do about it, and why is it so important that children get them? The answer to these questions and more will have to do with the role of the mayor and police union in this whole mess. Listen in to find out what's going on and why CPS is so opposed to the idea of immunization for all children. If you don't have your kids getting them, you are a domestic terrorist, aren't you? And if you do, you're not going to get your children vaccinated, you will be labeled a terrorist, are you a racist, a criminal, a looter, and you're going to pay the price for not getting them to be vaccinated? You're not getting your children to stop being immunized, you'll be labeled as a terrorist. . Listen to this episode of the Chicagoans Unfiltered Podcast.

00:00:25.000According to Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who says the city's fraternal order of police is attempting to induce an insurrection by opposing vaccine mandates.
00:00:37.000Think about this. The police, by opposing a mandate, by disagreeing with her trying to force something on them, they're attempting to induce an insurrection.
00:00:51.000I don't know, folks. I'd say if you're trying to jam something down the throats of a police union and its members, many of whom may walk off the job in a dangerous and crime-riddled city like Chicago...
00:01:06.000Maybe it's not the police that are trying to induce an insurrection.
00:01:25.000If you're the one making a decision knowing that police officers are going to walk off the job, you're going to be short-staffed, In Chicago, maybe, maybe it ain't the cops that are the ones inducing an insurrection.
00:01:38.000But again, guys, just like always with the left, the words have no meanings.
00:01:44.000For years, we've heard any argument the left couldn't win, the person opposing them was a racist.
00:01:50.000People, they hear the word, they roll their eyes, move on, because they've been called racist about anything.
00:02:56.000The left will do anything to get their way.
00:02:59.000And that's what they're trying to do here.
00:03:02.000Everything will be labeled an insurrection.
00:03:05.000You will soon be labeled a domestic terrorist if you haven't already at some level in the government because you're maybe a conservative or simply won't comply with all the radical leftist talking points, all the buzzwords that the cool kids are saying to get their way and to manipulate you out of fear, out of pressure, out of coercion, out of force, out of worry about being canceled.
00:04:03.000We're going to make sure what, try to understand what's going on.
00:04:06.000So why a different tone for CPS than the police?
00:04:10.000Well, I don't think there is a different tone for one versus the other.
00:04:16.000CEO Martinez has indicated that, and again, in agreement with the union, so that is one circumstantial difference, that every adult in the system has to be vaccinated.
00:04:26.000And that agreement was reached months ago, and they've been working very hard to execute on that agreement, a reach with all the collective bargaining agencies that employ folks at CPS. So it's a very different set of circumstances, and I think he believes it's going to be a very small group that remains either unvaccinated or not signing up.
00:04:49.000And so he understands, though, that accountability is important, as do we.
00:04:53.000So you asked the question of why the lawsuit.
00:04:57.000Because we believe that the FOP leadership is trying to foment an illegal workstopic to strike, pure and simple.
00:05:03.000We've laid that out in the materials, and we're not having that.
00:05:07.000The contract is clear, and it's been known for a long time.
00:05:10.000The police unions are not authorized to strike.
00:05:13.000It's in their collective bargaining agreement, and it's a matter of state law.
00:05:16.000What we've seen from the Fraternal Order of 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.
00:06:32.000And I don't think people are going to follow him over that cliff.
00:06:35.000But we're going to make sure that he and the leadership of the FLP get a very clear message.
00:06:41.000We are not allowing them to jeopardize the public safety of our city, our residents, by making it seem as if he is in charge of the Chicago Police Department and he alone can determine staffing, And whether or not officers come to work.
00:06:59.000And the other thing that has to be clear, officers swear an oath to abide by the U.S. Constitution, the state constitution, and the laws of this city.
00:07:13.000That separates them from civilian employees everywhere.
00:07:17.000It's a sacred oath, and we expect them to abide by it.
00:07:21.000We can't expect them and residents to uphold them with any degree of legitimacy if those who are sworn to uphold the law act as if they're above the law.
