The Thin Blue Line
By 
There is no question what is the biggest threat to police officers today, and it’s MAGA ideology:
COVID-19 is the leading cause of death for police officers even though members of law enforcement were among the first to be eligible to receive the vaccine, CNN reports, citing data from the Officer Down Memorial Page.
Why it matters: Nearly 476 police officers have died of COVID-19 since the pandemic started, compared to the 93 deaths as a result of gunfire in the same time period, according to ODMP and CNN.
The fact hat police unions have so frequently rejected banal vaccine mandates to deal with the bigger threat while defending violence with near-total impunity to deal with the latter is highly instructive.
