    > All of the leo deaths in Chicago for 2020 were covid And? This does not mean that being in law enforcement in Chicago is a risk-free, attractive proposition, even to those who are vaccinated. > Any cop quiting because they don't want to protect others is a cop that should find a new line of work That's a fair argument but it doesn't change the reality that Chicago is very unlikely to be able to easily replace the officers it terminates.
