FDNY boss hunts down staffers who booed NY AG Letitia James, cheered for Trump at promotion ceremony

FDNY Chief of Department John Hodges fired off an email to other agency honchos warning a reckoning led by the department’s Bureau of Investigation and Trials was coming over the chorus of boos and chants of “Trump” that James received at Thursday’s event.

“BITS is investigating this, so they will figure out who the members are,” Hodges wrote FDNY chiefs Saturday in the letter obtained by The Post.

“I recommend they come forward. I have been told by the commissioner it will be better for them if they come forward and we don’t have to hunt them down,” he continued.

Wow. Not sure what to say here. New york has gone full authoritarian.

 

Good thing they’ve got a union.

 

How is this any different than when the cops turned their backs on de Blasio? Those guys weren’t hunted down and reprogrammed.

 

So I see you righties haven't even read the article from the right-wing newspaper that printed it.

No surprise, just make up stuff as you go along to fit your political agenda, never mind the facts.



Please continue with the entertainment.

 

This guy isn't a Fire Fighter, he is a politician.

He resigned his position because of a disagreement with the Commissioner:

Then, apparently sued for his job back:

Now, he is back in the seat:

Clearly he had some political debt to repay.

 

Can you actually even debate the topic without your standard response that everybody else is ignorant?

Whats the point of even responding? You aren't contributing anything. Nothing.

What is the article was wrong?

 

That’s quiet and this was loud. Just a guess. And cops may have diff policies than the FDNY.

 

They have gone full Nazi regime. They hate America's freedom of speech. If she is going to put herself out there in the limelight of political prosecuting Biden's only opponent, and while sitting in court smirking; she is fair game.

 

What , exactly, is the topic ? Staffers being "hunted down" ? "New york has gone full authoritarian." ? "Nazi Regime" ?

That's not a topic , that's an attack.
Furthermore, no one here seems to have actually read the article, which contains a few scraps of information that manage to stand out in what is clearly a rightie hit piece by a right-wing rag being drooled over by the righties here at PF.

Where is the debate here ?

 

I think it’s odd how the magapatriots always have to make themselves known. If it isn’t smearing feces around the Capitol it’s their Chinese made red hats / flags or screaming their masters name.

Actual cults have more decorum than these people.

 

Is it acceptable for a government appointed employee to discipline and threaten employees who don't share their political opinions and use their first amendment rights?

 

Is it acceptable for a government appointed employee to discipline government employees who misbehave at a public function contrary to departmental guidelines ?

I mean, we're not talking summary execution here, are we ?

 

You know why. She's black, lol

 

We need more things like this in the news. It shows the authoritarian commie practices of the left and also makes them look horribly bad and nazi like.
Another nail in the coffin of the left.
MORE NAILS!!!!!!

 

What the OP and all the other follow ups are leaving out, is it is against their employment rules, while being in uniform, making political statements.

Department members have a right to express their political beliefs, the note stressed, just not on the job.

Mis-behaving? What are they 3?

They should be forced to attend and forced to applaud?

This perspective reeks of totalitarianism

What you advocate for surely points down a path of all kinds of potential harm.

 

Still toeing the party line ? Oooooooh , "totalitarianism" !

And , BTW, yes, government employees can be "forced" to attend public functions in dress uniform. And even applaud , in a perfunctory, ceremonial manner.

For example, if one or two members of the honor guard at a funeral started cheering for Trump instead of executing the salute, do you ever think they would
get assigned to that duty again ? Oooooooooo, "totalitarianism" !

 

ahhh, crickets from the left in here, as expected. Anything with logic and common sense that they can't make up a new fake word for gets ignored. SO SAD

 

They can only be "forced" if the person is black, and this proves the double standard the right has been talking about way past 100%
Another nail in the coffin for the left. This shows totalitarianism like its going outta style!

MORE NAILS PLEASE!

 

So when reality doesn't match your world view , you just retreat into fantasy ?
What color is the sky in that fantasy world where you live ? Black ? Sounds like a sad place.
And I think you've been shooting those NAILS INTO YOUR TEMPLES. This is the new style of rightie education by labotomy ?

 

Stop supporting totalitarianism and people will stop accusing you of it.

But only when it supports left wing propaganda, amiright?

Can we also force them to go to religious ceremonies and force them to make the sign of the cross?

Nobody should be forced to attend, let alone forced to show support for political groups.

Stop supporting using government employees as your pawns for political action.

Maybe the employer can bus them to polling stations and tell them how to vote too? Part of the job, right?

 

Stop fabricating false accusations about me and I won’t call you a liar.

Stop pretending these draconian events actually happen.

 

interesting...... the queen must not be questioned...

So now your claiming it never happened?

 

Not the way you made it up.
