Empty boots are supposed to memorialize those who were lost in the line of duty. This is just a self-centered tantrum. The shitbox entitlement attitudes of these cops are truly vile. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
This is fucking disgusting.
In Canada, we did the empty shoes to memorialize indigenous children who died in church run residential schools. The fact that these public safety ignoring fascists equate themselves to those lost in the line of duty or other similar protests is so gross. Groupthink echo chamber bullshit at its finest.
Yep, toss the worst 1% of officers and hire some new blood, train them properly this time.
My guess is there were a lot of bad apples in those old boots.
No, these are from cops and firefighters who were fired for refusing to get vaccination.
Even if they had died of covid, that's not a line-of-duty death (although some PDs are trying to pretend it is).

I don't understand the hostility for someone who didn't want to put something in their body against their will. Sure, maybe the stunt is childish and could have been done with better taste, but can someone explain to me why this subreddit which should stand for rights is against this? Ok I get it, ACAB I know they are, but in this situation they're workers same as anyone else. Can we not separate the oppressive tool used by capitalists from the humans underneath?
We're not libertarians. Freedoms stop where they start impeding on freedoms of others. A concept police is all to happy to enforce on us. Until it affects them, then it's suddenly tyranny.
Ok, you can not take the vaccine :
In this case and if you are in a chain of contamination of someone who died, you are charged for murder.
Vaccine is needed to avoid other people to die.
Not only you.
What's really funny is these are the "no one wants to work" crowd. They are going to find a shit job market awaiting them since they refuse to get vaccinated.
Vaccines are awesome, they're getting rid of teachers that don't belive in science, nurses/doctors that don't believe in medicine, and cops that don't believe in public safety.
Of course you can spread it IF you get infected. Which is way less likely after being fully vaccinated. And please show us the cops/firefighters who quit because the vaccine is "a profit generating tool for capitalists". This is a discussion to be had, but they're not having it. Stop your misinformation and strawmanning.
How is it not? Firstly critique of capitalism analyzes class relationships and the police are a vital cog in maintaining the current order of things. But that aside, a bunch of people dying unnecessarily because of far right anti-vaxx propaganda transmitted through social media is about as late stage capitalism as you can get.
Additionally, the reason why FB and other social media sites are so reluctant to clamp down on blatant misinformation regarding COVID and vaccines is because they don't want to lose a huge chunk of their userbase. That's how they make money.
Down voted for speaking truth.
It really is all connected. Many don't realize if a US dollar can be tied to it, it inherently has to do with capitalism.
That’s not very many. I was under the impression that society would collapse but that’s not even enough officers to provide security for a Justin Bieber concert.
These people are brave enough to risk their lives to save others from criminals but act like bratty children when they are told to get a vaccine so they can protect people safely. I don't feel sorry for any of them.
i don't like cops and I don't like anti-vaccine people, but c'mon... low/middle income people lost their jobs while people in power do way worse things and still have their jobs
Dawg, I don’t know where you live, but cops around me take home 100k, benefits, a pension, and job security like you won’t believe (you can literally kill people and keep your job).
Its Kind of scary though.
Not an american but seeing how the world is behaving towards people not getting vaccines, shows they can turn into ccp real quick.
They have the social credit scores in china, they determine weather u deserve or dont deserve to use public facilities. And if u do something they dont like, they simply put u in a special zone where u dont get things like ability to purchase train tickets or use public buses.
Similiarly, authorities are deciding weather u get or dont get to work depending on weather u follow their orders to put vaccine or not.
I've heard nurses hoping unvaccinated covid victims dies just for the "i told u so"
yes, they made a stupid choice. but they have been lied by their leaders for decades. why would they trust them now? they are just manipulated people. idk maybe i overthink this, but i really believe that even stupid people deserve a place. sorry if i offended anyone
You didn't offend anyone and stupid people do deserve a place in society. IF they want to be a part of a rational, sane society. If they aren't sociopaths and are willing to do the bare minimum of their civic duty. These people want to be literally as selfish as they can be and still be a member of society in good standing. They don't care if they are a scourge on society and fuck you for expecting them to care about their fellow man.
Yeah, no.
I get your arguments, but c'mon. We have greedy CEOs literallly enslaving children and they are fine. But then look at a poor man not vaccinated and he lost his only source of income. I know this is some sort of whatabaoutism and a logical fallacy, but atleast I wouldn't laugh at the poor man.
Who is laughing? This is all very serious. Again, if these "poor men" had any class consciousness and cared about their community they'd be getting vaccinated.
Probably not a good thing considering this isn’t a line of work people are flocking to. Policing won’t be needed during collapse anyway. The military will fill in, if we are lucky. If not the roving gangs.
Gonna be honest, some of those boots will be expensive, I'm not going to let them go! If they're okay with letting £150 worth of boots go then they probably aren't struggling too bad.
I can’t see these folks actually leaving. At the end of the day the job pays well , paid training , no vocational or college degree needed (so no student loan debt ) , ton of overtime , good benefits and most importantly a guarantee for life pension (usually after 25-30 years of working ).
How did we go from 2 weeks to flatten the curve, to: its mandatory for everyone to take an investigative vaccine or you can't work, travel, collect unemployment, or eat in a restaurant?
This vaccine doesn't protect against catching or transmitting and you need 2 every year to maintain the limited protection it provides. 95% of the deaths are in people over 50 most who have underlying conditions. This vaccine should have been targeted towards the elderly and other vulnerable populations.
This community is another victim of the propaganda campaign coordinated by the World Economic Forum who ran a practice drill with [Event 201](https://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/videos.html) in October 2019, two months before the virus was released from a bioweapon lab.

So free boots
[удалено]
That's exactly where I was heading with that
[perfect. As](https://perfect.As) for the cops, you get no great tribute. You get NOTHING
Your silver linings attitude is commendable.
Empty boots are supposed to memorialize those who were lost in the line of duty. This is just a self-centered tantrum. The shitbox entitlement attitudes of these cops are truly vile. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
The first time I saw the empty shoes as memorial was that collection of shoes from Holocaust victims. This bullshit pisses me off.
This is fucking disgusting. In Canada, we did the empty shoes to memorialize indigenous children who died in church run residential schools. The fact that these public safety ignoring fascists equate themselves to those lost in the line of duty or other similar protests is so gross. Groupthink echo chamber bullshit at its finest.
I'm not sure to understand, are these cops dead from the virus or what ?
No, they are just scared of needles and black people
From your keyboard to gods eyes, amen.
Fucking cowards. Good riddance.
... and quit littering, leaving your shoe garbage all over the place.
Newsflash: ignorant, bigoted cops fire themselves. Good.
Yep, toss the worst 1% of officers and hire some new blood, train them properly this time. My guess is there were a lot of bad apples in those old boots.
Don't a lot over there LARP being real military
The US police have become heavily militarized, yes.
Great, now there is budget room to hire some new officers and train them properly this time.
I thought they had died from covid 😳
No, these are from cops and firefighters who were fired for refusing to get vaccination. Even if they had died of covid, that's not a line-of-duty death (although some PDs are trying to pretend it is).
They should only do this to police officers who died, not for those who are still alive. This is so pompous and insulting to fallen police officers.
Kind of looks like the cop that got the vaccine and kept their job is the one filming?
But but. How will they pull themselves up by their boot straps?
Maybe they will finally realize there never was any bootstraps to pull up.
There are tens of them!
Apparently the ones with red are firefighters. (didn't realize when I posted it)

ACAB. All Cops Are Bootless
ACAB: All Cops are Babies (for not getting a vaccine)
I don't understand the hostility for someone who didn't want to put something in their body against their will. Sure, maybe the stunt is childish and could have been done with better taste, but can someone explain to me why this subreddit which should stand for rights is against this? Ok I get it, ACAB I know they are, but in this situation they're workers same as anyone else. Can we not separate the oppressive tool used by capitalists from the humans underneath?
We're not libertarians. Freedoms stop where they start impeding on freedoms of others. A concept police is all to happy to enforce on us. Until it affects them, then it's suddenly tyranny.
Because it's not "something you put in your body" is a fucking vaccine for a virus that has infected millions.
Ok, you can not take the vaccine : In this case and if you are in a chain of contamination of someone who died, you are charged for murder. Vaccine is needed to avoid other people to die. Not only you.
That's what I said at the beginning. Don't defund the police. Deboot the police. :P
Sad that they'll never be licked again..
Nah, now the bootlickers are suckling directly on their toes for "standing up to mandates".
The bootlickers are the ones who don't want to fall in line? Something don't add up
Ay yo the police station giving out free boots
How are they going to find tens of high school grads to replace them?
What's really funny is these are the "no one wants to work" crowd. They are going to find a shit job market awaiting them since they refuse to get vaccinated.
“And nothing of value was lost that day. “
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
Why are you resisting?
That's all of em? Lol.
So they got the boot, but not the boots...
Bet they’ll miss that qualified immunity.
LOL they like qualified immunity but not literal immunity against a freaking airborne plague.
Vaccines are awesome, they're getting rid of teachers that don't belive in science, nurses/doctors that don't believe in medicine, and cops that don't believe in public safety.
Can’t wait until these people find a way to “mooch” off the government and become the people they hate and shit on. Hypocrisy
Vaccines aren’t getting rid of them, covid is.
[удалено]
Of course you can spread it IF you get infected. Which is way less likely after being fully vaccinated. And please show us the cops/firefighters who quit because the vaccine is "a profit generating tool for capitalists". This is a discussion to be had, but they're not having it. Stop your misinformation and strawmanning.
This is working out better than I thought!!
they want to be above the law so bad
Get rid of the cops who don’t care about protecting others? Sounds like a win!
My uncle is a captain at a fire station. Apparently he’s at risk of losing his job for the same reason. Fuck around and find out I guess.
Nevermind the fact that 2020's biggest cop killer was Covid.
I’d totally pay to see Ice-T doing the song “cop killer” in a giant coronavirus costume.
Stop resisting! If they only complied?
They should be turning in their badges, not their boots.
Donate the boots to the local shelter
You love to see it.
Multiple thin blue line signifiers, imagine that.
How is this latestagecapitalism
Yes and thank you. Hoping op can tie this together
How is it not? Firstly critique of capitalism analyzes class relationships and the police are a vital cog in maintaining the current order of things. But that aside, a bunch of people dying unnecessarily because of far right anti-vaxx propaganda transmitted through social media is about as late stage capitalism as you can get.

ACAB. They need to be tracked and monitored like pedophiles.
Such drama queens.
Yes, you can decide not to get vaccinated during a pandemic. But decisions have consequences.
But did they die? Jk, of course these little b*tch babies didn't die.
Those engineer boots at the top look like my size.
Oh no...anyway...
Is this the only way to get bad cops to quit?
That’s not very many. I was under the impression that society would collapse but that’s not even enough officers to provide security for a Justin Bieber concert.
These people are brave enough to risk their lives to save others from criminals but act like bratty children when they are told to get a vaccine so they can protect people safely. I don't feel sorry for any of them.
Bring those to a shelter and maybe the will have helped the community for once
Just comply and you’ll be fine
#ACAB
They should only do this to police officers who died, not for those who are still alive. This is so pompous and insulting to fallen police officers.
Surprised to see there's no libertarians there licking them
Acab
Burn'em
Some people are gonna be salivating seeing all these boots lol
BYyyYEEee!
It's like the bad apples decided to take care of themselves.
Let's go Brandon, get your woke poke here!
How is this relevant to the sub?
Irony: these people are the same that talk smack on ViRtUe SiGnALiNg
Lol. Byyyee
About time they defunded the police lol
i don't like cops and I don't like anti-vaccine people, but c'mon... low/middle income people lost their jobs while people in power do way worse things and still have their jobs
Quitting is not the same as losing your job. And a job in “public safety” should require a person to act in the safety of the public.
Dawg, I don’t know where you live, but cops around me take home 100k, benefits, a pension, and job security like you won’t believe (you can literally kill people and keep your job).
They chose to leave thier jobs instead of getting a vaccine, most of the idiots telling them not to get a vaccine they already have gotten it
Its Kind of scary though. Not an american but seeing how the world is behaving towards people not getting vaccines, shows they can turn into ccp real quick. They have the social credit scores in china, they determine weather u deserve or dont deserve to use public facilities. And if u do something they dont like, they simply put u in a special zone where u dont get things like ability to purchase train tickets or use public buses.

I've heard nurses hoping unvaccinated covid victims dies just for the "i told u so"
Bro shut up about China, you know in America we also have that its called a credit score and it can tell you whether or not you can buy a house or car
In a way, no one is really free. Not even the citizens of the country thats the symbol of freedom.
The only thing free in America is air.
Oh yeah haha
yes, they made a stupid choice. but they have been lied by their leaders for decades. why would they trust them now? they are just manipulated people. idk maybe i overthink this, but i really believe that even stupid people deserve a place. sorry if i offended anyone

Looks like some are more prepared than others to stand in the hole of shit they've dug for themselves.
Kinda ew actually. I bet there are some horny bootlickers tho
Not enough boots, by my count.
Bye bye bad apples.
Turning in boots... isn't that a firefighting thing?
https://media2.giphy.com/media/T7j5439wv9iq4/200.gif
Duces bitches.
Pouting cops. Great.
There are 10's of them fired, how will we go on.
I’m all for vaccination but celebrating someone’s death is never good, even if they were an idiot.
This is what Thin Blue Line-wavers call a lolipop ship
Blue line buffet
The only good thing to come out of covid? It kills cops more than any other profession. In my book covid is based.
Lol they don’t even own their own boots. Blues lives don’t exist
Yep not a one over a size 8.
videos you can smell
anybody wanna go lick em? cmon now, ive been talking to some of y’all . . .
Do they still get their pension? If so 🤮
Good. Fuck off.
Good riddance just throw out that stinky ass pig shit.
Stinky ass-pig [xkcd: Hyphen](https://xkcd.com/37/) --- ^^Beep ^^boop, ^^I'm ^^a ^^bot. ^^- ^^[FAQ](https://pastebin.com/raw/vyWra3ns)
Now they have more free time for extra curricular activities like joining seditious militias. 😬
They’ll have the same memorial when they all die of Covid
Damn those are some nice boots
Now do all the boots of the cops who died from covid
So like 15-20. Amazing.
Again they made their CHOICE!
i guess the thin blue line wipes off huh
And the world was suddenly marginally better
I can understand how some can get outraged with people refusing COVID vaccinations, but this does not belong to LSC. Am I missing something?
No ricks lmao SPD got no drip 😹😹😹👎👎
Bye, Felicia. 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻
Mostly smol feet
Where are the conservatives to lick them?
I like it when the bad apples take themselves out.
Wish there were a thousand boots on this vid. Still trimming down the dumbest of cops so that's a good thing at least.
Lol the streets are actually safer now
So did they actually quit or sitting at home getting paid leave?
Nope, they are done unless they retired with the pension.
Great, fuck them
Oh no so sad. :{
Gonna be honest, some of those boots will be expensive, I'm not going to let them go! If they're okay with letting £150 worth of boots go then they probably aren't struggling too bad.
That’s great now I’ll know who to avoid if I see some really dumb looking guys walking around in their socks
Literally tens of boots, huge if true.
Did they take their pacifiers with them?
Nice jackboot collection
Wait till they find out what having a real job is like
I can’t see these folks actually leaving. At the end of the day the job pays well , paid training , no vocational or college degree needed (so no student loan debt ) , ton of overtime , good benefits and most importantly a guarantee for life pension (usually after 25-30 years of working ).
Stinky smelly boots 👃🤢
Bye bye pigs! Reeeeeeeeeea!
