In another thread the increase in the crime rate was posted. Sorry, but I could not find it. My point here is that Massachusetts State Patrol is not the only law enforcement agency facing a mandate.
Perhaps I should also have asked what the effect of the mandate will have on health care. For example, a hospital in NY has shut down their maternity ward due to lack of staffing.
Sadly, for the establishment these are jobs that the illegal aliens cannot do but Americans can.
I am guessing that the troopers quitting was a camel/last straw decision. Probably already upset with attacks on the police from local and national politicians, plus being restricted from using chokeholds and other effective tactics, being forced to get a shot was the final straw.

No worries fellas, Democrats have promised to 'reimagine law enforcement' , which would include replacing police with social workers. For this promise, the majority of violent criminals have agreed to treat these new peace keepers with respect and will fully comply with their orders.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
With regard to health care:
From Heroes to Zeroes: How Vax Mandates Are Purging Our First Responders
BY KEVIN DOWNEY JR. SEP 26, 2021 3:33
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has declared a state of emergency in preparation for the exit of potentially tens of thousands of New York health care workers who will lose their jobs on Monday if they are not vaccinated. Hochul’s genius response plan is to replace the roughly 72,000 recalcitrant (former) heroes with healthcare workers licensed in other states, recent graduates, retirees, foreign health workers, and National Guard members with medical experience. Will the new governor kill as many New Yorkers as Cuomo did?
“We are still in a battle against COVID to protect our loved ones, and we need to fight with every tool at our disposal,” Hochul stated on Saturday.
In short, Hochul is preparing to fire an army of New York healthcare workers because they won’t take the vaccine
FACT-O-RAMA! None of the COVID vaccines will prevent you from contracting or spreading COVID. They lessen the likelihood of death and hospitalization.
The social workers paired with police officers is already a trial program. I do wonder if the trial gets shut down the first time a social worker is gunned down while the police officer waits outside so the incident doesn't "escalate".
