Firefighters booed New York attorney general who sued Trump for fraud. Officials are investigating - Lemmy.World

NEW YORK (AP) — A union representing New York City firefighters is raising concerns about possible disciplinary action against its members after state Attorney General Letitia James was booed and a pro-Donald Trump chant broke out during a fire department ceremony last week. The Democrat, whose office won a $355 million penalty against the Republican former president for lying about his wealth last month, faced a chorus of jeers as she addressed a department promotions ceremony Thursday in Brooklyn.

Disclaimer: I am not, nor will I ever be a T supporter. I’d rather not even spell the rest of the name.

However, I have to agree with the union here. If these ceremonies tend to have a certain carnivalesque nature, can these firefighters be charged with more than bad taste?

It’d be a different story if these people were standing and chanting on the ashes of somebody’s newly ex-residense.

This is the State Attorney General. You respect the position if not the person. This is 100% unacceptable behavior.

I disagree, I’m as left as they get but to have my job threatened because I nonviolently disapproved of someone is a terrible precedent to set. Would it really be okay for someone to dig up all the negative comments about supreme court justices on here and fire anyone who posted them?

You must be self employed if you think causing an aggressive, divisive, disturbance at a work event is acceptable behavior.

We are again trying to accept less from our public servants than from any standard private job
