A Los Angeles police officer who was fired in 2022 after challenging the city’s COVID-19 vaccination and testing mandate is entitled to back pay but should not get her job restored, an L.A. County judge has ruled.

 

L.A. County Superior Court Judge Mitchell L. Beckloff said police department officials denied the former officer, Natalie Stringer, her right to respond to allegations prior to a disciplinary meeting, but the city did not violate labor laws and acted within its rights when she was terminated based on her “failure to comply with a valid condition of employment.”

 

Beckloff made similar findings in the cases of several other police officers and firefighters who were terminated over their vaccination status, the latest rebuff of challenges to the city’s coronavirus protocols.

and they say trump is the dictator. 

All those who have visited long stay in the USA are aware of the formal and open arrogance from their street cops displaying their badges.

 

In comparison, the Thai Police are perfect gentlemen. Corrupt to the marrow of the bone,  but far more polite.

It would be fine if people who had no choice or ability to distance themselves from emergency services personnel hadn't died as a result of their political zealotry.

So the guys whose job was to uphold rules didn't want to follow rules. Maybe not the best fit for the job.
