Latitia James was booed by several FDNY firefighters at a promotional event the other day. After the booing slowed the firemen started chanting Trump, Trump…

James has ordered these Firefighter to turn themselves in, or they will be “hunted down”.

"Freedom of speech?"

Not if you are criticizing a darkie.

Correct,,this only works one way.

Might be time for the NYNG to get some training in firefighting, in addition to thug control.

That [bleep] needs a lesson in who not to mess with.

I just got my first ever [bleep]!
It may have saved me from the wrath of Latitia.

She is scum.

Is nt this covered by the US Constitution - First Amendment?

Margaret Thatcher, one of the most unpopular Conservative Prime Ministers amongst the left wing could take this and worse comments and caricatures of herself.

Well typically you hire firefighters for strength ,initiative, courage to do what has to be done. Then when some dipchit like James has to confront those virtues they don't get anywhere without the threat of retribution. That by God is what you get going down the rathole of DEI hiring practices. Stupid ghunt. But then nothing surprises me from New Dork..mb

A bought and paid for n i g g e r she's doing what she's told to do and say.

Ohhhhh

Those Boyz got Six Ways to Sunday to get You Back ..

Let’s see if the Benevolent Brotherhood protects it’s Own against the Sheba ..

Me Tarzan how do you Do .

You mean kinda like those people who chanted at a Trump rally and then the Don mused about roughing them up? Like that?

You Big on Salty Drinks

I'm sure there are plenty of firefighter jobs available somewhere outside the People's Republic of Noo Yawk. Let the damyankees burn to a crisp!

Trump Derangement Syndrome on full display above.

Whataboutism is a typical braindead libtard response.

Laughable

Oh I'm laughing alright.

Laffin at ur self

Here's a clue,

FDNY Commissioner:

The commissioner is an angry little cunt, she's a diversity hire who STOLE her job from a man.

if they were on the clock it's likely going to be a legitimate beef against them.

Trump grabbed your pussy didn’t he?

You're a poopy head.

Looks like a (angry) dyke.

Speaking of angry dykes...

That James & the fire commissioner are allowed to stay in office, with zero pushback, speaks volumes about how low NY has fallen.

But current times are not like 1800................things would be handled differently in those days.

Today, there is but a whimper......................as tails are tucked & people slink away.

MM

All I can say is.....there' not enough money to get me to live in that glorified sewer, much less be a LEO or firefighter.

No need to muse about roughing them up, when you can just have them arrested like Biden did with the Gold Star father who lost his son in Biden's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Actions speak louder than words huh?

BS. Disrupting Congress is a crime. What did Biden personally have to do with it?

Limp dik Eric is in a tangent

If they had heckled someone like Tucker Carlson I wonder how much angst there would be? Those firefighters would have been lauded for their courage.

Speaking out against the government is as dangerous as it was in 1917 through 1919 when thousands were locked up. During the civil war Lincoln had droves of Democrats locked up.

There is no limit to what AG Garland will do. We are on the verge of catastrophe.

Then Pelosi and about 100 others should be given life sentences.

More bullschitt from a union f a g.

Here is some interesting and true information about Kavanagh.She grew up in San Fancisco.She attended Columbia University,one of the schools Obama claimed he attended.She worked on the campaigns of Bill de Blasio and Barack Obama.She never was a firefighter.

She is just another,in a long list of DEI hires.

This is the memo from the Union to the rank and file:
I’m here to address the behavior of firefighters that attended Thursday’s promotion.

The behavior we saw and heard was grossly inappropriate.Protesting, heckling, or booing anyone at a ceremony is simply unacceptable.

This was a promotion ceremony to honor members who made sacrifices and worked hard to achieve this day. They had close family and friends there to celebrate with them.

Absolutely no one should have been subjected to what happened based on the political beliefs of some members.

It was disrespectful to the speakers, to the promoted members and their families

This was not a political event and Letitia James was not there to give a political speech.

She was there to support her friend and our new chaplain Pamela Holmes. Pamela invited her friend to attend the ceremony.

Members have a right to political beliefs. But you don’t have a right to make a job related ceremony political in nature.

When you’re not on duty, feel however you want about politicians. Vote. Protest. That’s your right. But don’t do it on the job’s time, on other members’ time, or on their families’ time. Do it on your own time.

Our actions at the promotion damaged the relationship with the attorney general and the Christian Cultural Center. We may lose that venue now.

Politics aside, the attorney general is a friend to the UFA and UFOA and a supporter of our Department. She has come to the hospital on more than one occasion to support us when one of our members is seriously injured or died.

These actions reflected very poorly upon us and diminished the dignity of the occasion.
Instead of news reports talking about the accomplishments of our members, it talked about the politics and our poor behavior.

Everyone must be better. Do the right thing. Even if you aren’t the one acting poorly, if you see a fellow firefighter act in this manner, STOP IT.

Act in a manner befitting of the uniform that you wear. Nothing less should be tolerated.

An FDNY retiree fumed at the department’s heavy-handed response.

“It was a political stunt for the city to have the AG there. When it backfired, they sent their fascist pit bulls after guys for exercising their First Amendment rights,” he said. Most were off-duty and not in FDNY uniform

I suspect that part is quite true. Government workers should not express a political stance on any issue while on the job, or use official equipment to express one's opinions. Does seem a bit rude for a promotion/award event when the focus should be on one's peers.

They were not on the job .

I seems there are several people who disagree with this.

“It was a political stunt for the city to have the AG there. When it backfired, they sent their fascist pit bulls after guys for exercising their First Amendment rights,” he said. Most were off-duty and not in FDNY uniform


Famed constitutional and criminal law attorney Alan Dershowitz blasted the FDNY’s hunt down.

“Firefighters have an absolute constitutional right to boo the attorney general, and the government has no power to punish them for it,” Dershowitz told The Post. “So efforts to get the names of the booers is an effort by the government to chill free speech and is unconstitutional.”

Point taken, but sadly when it's them doing the critterin' it's not chargeable. BTW, I don't think the Gold Star Dad should be charged; escorted out yes, but not charged.

It's pretty obvious that if you question the political left on any issue they will make you pay. We can see what they are doing to Donald Trump, Rudy Guliani, Mike Lindell or anyone who threatens their narrative.

The system is completely turned upside down. I certainly hope that when it comes time to vote this November folks remember this and punish the culprits. In this case the entire democRAT party and those folks who comprise the WEF and EU.

They tried to cancel Mel G9bsun.

Steve4102: I was a naive country boy turned rookie policeman in a large west coast city and upon settling my first downtown "negro dust-up" with the help of 8 or 10 other policemen one of the senior officers on the scene spoke these words of wisdom "you can take the negro out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the negro"!
I was at first shocked at his language (which I have cleaned up for this discussion) but it did not take very many years and having to deal with countless outlandish, uncivilized, vindictive, hateful and uncalled for racist actions and criminal activities by blacks for me to realize the wisdom of what that officer uttered.
The actions and racism displayed by this horrific human being named latitia james reminds me of those unsolvable, uncalled for actions by countless negro folks I had to deal with for nearly 3 decades!
Along the way during those times I ran across so many hard working, civilized, polite, law abiding, devout black people that I gradually began to feel sorry for them having to be lumped in with the racist, uncivilized, chip on their shoulder ghetto types!
At so many times these racist, uncivilized ghetto types were just impossible to deal with yet impossible to ignore - Catch 22.
This is learned racist and uncivilized behavior on the part of latitia james and her ilk.
Alas there MAY be NO solution to their anti-American, anti-social behavior.
The so called "great society" had a great part in creating this mentality among so many black Americans - and that is sad.
Hold into the wind
VarmintGuy

Be careful now you will be chided as racist by those here who dont have the great privilege to be forced to interact with our wonderful darker members of society in thier everyday lives!!!

That is one group of fierce, fearless warriors!

Three hundred forty three New York firefighters died on 9-11.
How many were women?
Zero.

[Female firefighters are front and center on payday.]

Say, Eric, did you happen to watch the recent SOTU speech? Rather quite a bit like. campaign ad. Pretty clearly an impeachable Hach act violation.

Your thoughts?

Bet none of them have touched a hose!

I don’t know about New York but when we were “on the clock” we didn’t forfeit our right to speak. If they were “on the clock” and were disrespectful to someone in their chain of command they might suffer internal sanctions for insubordination but unless the linebacker bitch-negress is their boss she can fu.ck off and DIE! Hopefully she does…

I’m surprised she didn’t claim racism. Interesting you never hear the cops acting like that.

This will not end peacefully.

Hunted down for what? Exercising their Constitutional Right? Fugg them!

Erika308 is nothing but a stupid commie chkunt.

Sad that NY LEO are ready willing and able to "Hunt Down" their brothers on the Fire Department at the demands of a political tyrant.

Not surprising, but sad.

While they Laugh about it the Femma Nazi Left has Big Plans for all these Alpha Boyz .

Their Cup Runs Over with Contempt Them ..

Those that Laugh Last Laugh Best Bitches..

You won’t have to wait Long ..

Speaking pretty plain there LD don't know if the sarcasm crowd can handle that. Mb

I read the article in the OP. I apparently missed where LEO were being involved, since I believe the Bureau under discussion is internal to NYFD. If I'm wrong, I'll apologize I'm advance. I don't agree with the internal witch hunt, but I don't see where NYPD has become involved.

Didn't watch SOTU, but clips I've seen definitely sounded like a campaign speech. But, if we're going to apply that standard half the Congress would be locked up. On second thought.....

You see the sun today? All in good fun hombre.

Just calling it the way I see it. Scumbags like him are out there, Mb.

Plz continue

Red gets more red.

Commie gets more commie.

And the revolution continues.

Or wearing anything representing the NYFD.



It sucks, but your employer should have a certain control of anything you do in a way that affects them. I've seen people fired for criminal behavior, off the clock and not
involving the employer. The things they did became public, and the employer didn't want customers associating the employees actions with them.
Under review by the labor board, the cases I'm aware of were held up and unemployment was denied.

There is considerable case law regarding the free speech rights of public employees. As I understand it, they have the same rights as any other citizens regarding public issues. However, they may be disciplined for public criticism of internal matters, like a letter to the editor claiming the chief is incompetent. The quote in an earlier post citing Dershowitz' opinion seems to be on target. Where whistleblower protection fits in I just don't know. My uneducated guess is that the firefighters in this case were within their rights.

Just came from my favorite LGS earlier. Working on a problem with my 6.8.



You were probably busy yankin your cchicken, watching the State of Confusion speech reruns over and over.

You might be right, but if she uttered a single word in reference to Trump, or any other political controversy then she opened the floor to heckling. JMO.

He won't be laughing much longer.

Send a nasty message to the NYC Fire Kommissioneress:

https://www.nyc.gov/site/fdny/about/overview/leadership/fire-commissioner.page

the memo they sent was straight out of communism 101.

Saying they will go easier on the people that turn themselves in and get "educated" on correct behavior.

Nope. Did shoot the HK USP and Windham A1 (I actually did get an AR, retro style like I used to shoot; didn't want to be the only one without one if the music stops, know what I mean?)

He won't be laughing much longer.

Lolol….an effeminate little cuckhold like you will be “relieved” of your POS retro-rifle by the first conservative 10 year old kid that decides to take it from you…😂

If you only knew, son.

Most of us are God Fearing, Conservative, Americans. Largely blue collar.
And 50, plus.


We, and our predecessors, got up in the morning and made this country run.
Went to the dance on Saturday night and church on Sunday.

When the Longhaired, Dirty, Dope Smoking, Hippies were protesting, we raised food built machines or hauled them to markets.

One of the things that allowed those lazy, dirty Hippies to get away with their shenanigans was numbers. Hopefully, the NYFD can pull together like the police would do. If a third of the force is willing to take a sick day, this will go away.

Limp dik Eric is full of schit

This will be interesting. Typically, a private employer can control speech but this was a city employer i.e. the State and a bit different since they are talking about limiting the content of the speech.

So then that makes you a Feckless Kgunt?

I'm not sure Eric knows the difference between actually owning an AR or saying he owns an AR.........

even if she did that probably won't absolve those FDNY personnel of a policy violation. I learned the hardway I have no freedom of speech in uniform, at that point I am a representative of my organization and am to have no opinion either way.

Not entirely true; this was political speech. The burden of proof transfers to the State in such matters. Any negative action against any of these guys will immediately result in a massive lawsuit naming the department heads and those guys will win bigly.
