Vaccine Mandate Fallout

As you know Hennepin County as well as many Sheriff's Offices required employees, including CO's and Deputies to be vaccinated with the experimental Covid shot or be fired. I wrote about this back in December, January, and March. 

Many CO's and Deputies left rather than take the jab, and that at a time of a critical shortage in both job classes.

Alpha News now has the story of Hennepin County Detective Stacy Braun (I knew him from his time working the jail) who quit rather than take the jab. It's a good read of the injustice done to those who were hailed as heros at the beginning of the pandemic than villainized by the end for refusing to take the shot, even though by then many had already had Covid.

How many good people left rather than submit to the shot or did submit and were harmed?

Not only was this wrong, but  I believe the Counties that did this are wide open for lawsuits from those harmed by the shots or were forced to leave.

Front-line worker pay denied?

This is a breaking story I'm working on. KSTP is reporting that around 214,000 people who applied for the Front-Line Worker pay were denied. Of that 42,687 were denied due to 'income too high.'

I'm hearing many CO's were denied the pay.

We all know that Detention Deputies/ Correctional Officers were the very definition of front-line workers. Working in close proximity with inmates, massive forced overtime, mandatory vaccinations, high Covid infection rates.

It would seem the very definition of who should be rewarded! My guess is many were disqualified, especially those at top pay, because the mandatory overtime pushed them over the income threshold. 

I'm guessing this is the same for others in Public Safety. 

I have reached out to the State asking how many of the following were denied due to too much income:

Corrections Officers/Detention Deputies

Police Officers/Sheriff's Deputies

Firefighters

Paramedics

Nurses

Doctors

If you were denied and work in one of these fields contact me at Wade.Laszlo@protonmail.com

If this turns out to be true it isn't right!

We remember Anoka County Sheriff's Office Detention Deputy Richard Legler. During the early morning hours on Saturday, August 9, 1986, Richard Legler and fellow Detention Deputy Anthony Hesch, were on their way to work at the Anoka County Jail. An unknown dark colored compact car pulled alongside Detention Deputy Legler’s vehicle and a shot was fired. The shot fired from the fleeing car entered Detention Deputy Legler’s driver’s side window and struck him in the left arm. Deputy Legler struggled to pull the vehicle over to the right side of the road. The round struck his left arm just behind his uniform patch and ultimately pierced his left lung.

The suspect was later found deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. It is believed that the suspect may have seen the jail uniforms worn by Legler and Hesch, and seeing the uniformed men could have triggered the shooting as no other cars had been reported shot at that morning.

At the time of his death, Detention Deputy Richard Legler was 38 years old and worked for the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office for approximately 3 years. He was survived by his parents, his sister, and brother-in-law.

Can a CO be denied an assignment based on race?

Can a CO be denied a duty assignment based on race?The answer is a resounding no!
