Mendoza said her brother, CPD Detective Sgt. Joaquin Mendoza, is one of 20 or more officers who could be left without benefits. Detective Sgt. Joaquin Mendoza was hospitalized for 72 days and lost the use of his kidneys and left arm after getting COVID. He hasn't been able to work since November 2020.

"This is the ultimate act of betrayal to tell our first responders that they are worth more dead than alive." that I have read and agree
