A city police officer who has compared COVID-19 vaccination rules to Nazi genocide says he\u2019s resigned from the Calgary Police Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Former constable Brian Denison, who was once a member of the service\u2019s hate crimes unit, said he quit the force after being suspended without pay last month and told he couldn\u2019t speak publicly about a city policy that states officers who aren\u2019t fully vaccinated must submit to regular testing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ve been muzzled by the police service,\u201d Denison told a downtown anti-vax rally on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI turned in my resignation because I could not abide by what they were doing . . . their orders are wrong, do not listen to them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n CPS on Monday confirmed Denison is no longer employed by the police service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Denison, who was with CPS for 22 years, called for other officers to follow his example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLet me be clear about the CPS \u2014 they don\u2019t own you . . . the government doesn\u2019t own you and can\u2019t tell you what you put in your body,\u201d he told the cheering crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a video he recorded while in uniform in late September, he said society\u2019s widening exclusions of the unvaccinated was headed down a similar path taken by Nazi Germany in the 1930s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c Those who are vaccinated, a lot of them, look down on us that are unvaccinated . . . it\u2019s very reminiscent of the world war Hitler was persecuting against the Jews, \u201d he said. …<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n On Saturday, Denison said Canadian governments\u2019 COVID-19 vaccination policies show \u201cthe correlations are there \u2014 what happened in history \u2014 and they\u2019re happening again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Last month, a leader of the city\u2019s Jewish community said that comparison is grossly inaccurate and offensive, but said he was willing to discuss the issue with Denison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Anti-vax police officer who compares vaccine mandates to Holocaust resigns [The latest victim of COVID censorship is a 27-year veteran of he Calgary Police Service, Const.
