Officer Michael McMahon, who maintains he is a 14-year veteran of the LAPD, said today in the video posted to social media that he had just been “relieved of duty” for refusing the city’s vaccination mandate for all employees, including police.
“I did just leave the captain’s office a few minutes ago,” said McMahon in a 4-plus minute video taken on what appeared to be a police rooftop parking lot with the downtown L.A. skyline in the background. “I did refuse everything. I will not acquiesce to testing or the mandate to get vaccinated. So I was subsequently relieved of duty.”
McMahon then went on to detail the fallout.
“I turned in my gun, my badge, my police ID. All of my police powers [have] been suspended and I have been assigned to home pending what is essentially a board of rights…for what is essentially going to be an insubordination charge and what will ultimately result in termination from the department,” he said.
