FOP president calls on officers to ‘hold the line’ but concedes they’re now ‘forced’ to get shots as COVID-19 vaccine mandate upheld for Chicago police.

In a YouTube video posted Wednesday evening, John Catanzara, president of the local FOP chapter, signaled he would have more to say later this week but conceded the arbitrator did decide that “we will be forced to get the vaccine.”
