More than 4,500 Chicago cops - over a THIRD of the department - are facing unpaid suspension for refusing to get vaccinated
- [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] About one third of the Chicago Police Department, or 4,543 officers, have not complied with the city's demand to report their vaccination status
- Of those who replied, 1,333 - or 16 percent - said they have not been vaccinated
- Those officers must undergo weekly COVID-19 testing on their own time and expense and have until December 31 to get the jab
- About 50 officers have refused all together and forfeited the jobs over the mandate
- Meanwhile, the city has begun recruiting from suburban Illinois to fill potential shortfalls
- Union President John Catanzara is pursuing legal action against the city, saying that the mandate went against the union's collective bargaining rights
