Sheriff Villanueva’s actions underscore the authority inherent in the elected office of the local sheriff, which is the only elected law enforcement official in every county. It is no wonder that a major part of the defunding of police in America is to destroy the elected office of sheriff. However, this office is truly the last defense against outright tyranny in America. ⁃ TN Editor
Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva has refused to enforce a local vaccine mandate, saying he would risk losing up to 10 per cent of his workforce if he did.
After his department’s budget was cut by $145.5 million in June 2020, partly as a result of the ‘defund the police’ movement, Villanueva says he already faces losing hundreds of officers.
Enforcing COVID vaccine mandates would further cripple the force at a time when homicides have surged 31 per cent in the first six months of 2021 compared to last year.
“This is like the worst of two worlds right here, so we have to pick and choose,” said Villanueva, adding that he would lose 5-10 per cent of his staff “overnight” if he enacted the Los Angeles City Council’s mandate, which was passed on Wednesday.

“I’m not forcing anyone,” said Villanueva. “The issue has become so politicized. There are entire groups of employees that are willing to be fired and laid off, rather than get vaccinated.”
The mandate, which is one of the strictest in the nation, goes into effect in November 4 and forces anyone wishing to enter bars, restaurants, gyms and other venues to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test.
It also makes the jab compulsory for city employees, a massive problem given that 24% of the Los Angeles Police Department’s 12,000 employees last month sought religious or medical exemptions to the vaccine mandate.
Villanueva’s refusal to enforce the mandate follows his insistence that mask mandates are not “backed by science” and that he wouldn’t be enforcing that either.

Excellent! Mr. Villanueva sounds like a hero in the face of the Newsome totalitarian government. Go sheriff!! The rest of the intelligent country is behind you. Do not believe their lies. It’s all a big bluff–the Fear Class of crazy vaxers are a minority compared to the rest of the USA. Besides based on what I’ve read about the Biden vax mandate he didn’t actually sign an EO but rather bluffed companies via another work-around in fear mongering to get them to abide by a Federal mandate. In fact, I’d really like for a knowledgeable individual familiar with the EO… Read more »

I don’t remember the exact quote. I read a comment on another site the other day where the poster stated that some doctors have become too political when they should be practicing medicine. And some politicians don’t need to be trying to act like doctors who actually practice medicine. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again and again. If I spend more money on health insurance premiums in one month than I use in medicines and treatments all year. I don’t need anyone besides a “real” doctor who has examined me to be butting in my healthcare decisions… Read more »
