Anti-Vaccine Cop’s COVID Death Ruled Line Of Duty

Denver’s ABC News affiliate reports:

A 33-year-old deputy with the Denver Sheriff Department died of COVID complications Wednesday night – the second deputy with the department to die from the virus this month. Late Thursday evening, the Denver Sheriff Elisa Diggins announced Trujillo’s passing would be considered a line of duty death. Line of Duty designation provides extra death benefits. The city is not tracking how many of its deputies receive the vaccine.

Newsweek reports:



Trujillo had previously shared social media content that appeared to reject the COVID vaccine. A Facebook profile photo updated in early May said “I have an immune system,” a common refrain among those eschewing pandemic-era precautionary measures. The last post on an Instagram account that appears to have belonged to Trujillo said “Before you shame me in public for not having a mask, ask yourself one simple question. Will this mask stop an uppercut?”
