It’s a cult. In the long run, every organization waving goodbye to their cultists will be better off in the future.

Got your ear to the heart beat of Walmart do you?. Your job as a Walmart greeter keeps you aware of the latest Walmart openings.

“Dozens” of state troopers fed up with the governor’s vaccine mandate are filing paperwork to quit the force as a Superior Court judge has denied any delay in the mandate that kicks in Oct. 17.

“Many of these troopers are going to be returning to their previous municipal police departments within the state that allow for regular testing and masks,” said union boss Michael Cherven. “To date, dozens of troopers have already submitted their resignation paperwork.”

The State Police Association of Massachusetts said in a statement shared with the Herald Friday that allowing the union representing 1,800 members to negotiate with the Baker administration was their preferred route.

“We are disappointed in the judge’s ruling; however, we respect her decision,” Cherven said. “It is unfortunate that the Governor and his team have chosen to mandate one of the most stringent vaccine mandates in the country with no reasonable alternatives.”

Gov. Charlie Baker instituted a vaccine mandate for all Executive Branch employees Aug. 19, including all troopers, with a deadline of Oct. 17 to be fully vaccinated. The order only granted exemptions for those who have medical or religious grounds to reject the vaccine.

Cherven pointed out troopers “have been on the front lines protecting the citizens of Massachusetts and beyond” through the pandemic — as have all first responders.

“Simply put, all we are asking for are the same basic accommodations that countless other departments have provided to their first responders, and to treat a COVID-related illness as a line-of-duty injury,” Cherven said.

Now that the judge has rejected any delay, the troopers still needing jabs have just days to begin the vaccination process — if they want the Moderna or Pfizer two-shot mRNA coronavirus vaccine. Not having a shot could cost the officers their jobs.

About 20% of members were unvaccinated as of earlier this week, the Herald reported.

“The State Police are already critically short staffed and acknowledge this by the unprecedented moves to take officers from specialty units that investigate homicide’s, terrorism, computer crimes, arsons and human trafficking, to name just a few,” Cherven said.

The commonwealth’s attorney, Jennifer Greaney, argued in court that the state had offered concessions during two “good faith” bargaining meetings and several emails.

Why do Trumpers hate the US military? Is it because Trump himself is a lying, adulterous cowardly draft-dodger?

Complex question fallacy, you fail.

Nice dodge because there's truth in it.

How come the Navy is, by your definition, a "delusional cult"?

Our state troopers are among the LEAST representative examples of Massachusetts citizens in the entire Commonwealth.
Most of them are Trumpanzees in a state with hardly any Trumpanzees, particularly in the Eastern, more densely populated part of the state.

The Boston cops, and I know this for a fact--
particularly the upper echelon of the force--
consider them to be complete idiots.

The ones that I know personally match that description perfectly.

Also, they get paid shit compared to Boston cops.

You need to stop doing that, it doesn't strengthen your attempts at rebuttal.

Fine. Your choice to not answer. No worries, I didn't expect one anyway because the point has been made: You are politicizing a pandemic and now, as a claimed Navy retiree/nuclear engineer, you have hoisted yourself by your own petard.

God Bless America.
