It has been noted that New York Attorney General Letitia James recently showed up at a New York City Fire Department promotion ceremony on Thursday and found out the way her obsessive Captain-Ahab-esque persecution of Donald Trump resonated with the workforce.
It was seen that the diverse crowd assembled at the Christian Cultural Center’s Brooklyn Campus to recognize the promotion of 65 uniformed members, 29 members of the Bureau of Fire Prevention, and 34 civilian employees.
James spoke against a backdrop of the chant of TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP1.
According to documents leaked to the @ViralNewsNYC account, the FDNY is about to engage in retribution against all those who booed or heckled James.
A list of talking points was distributed to FDNY leadership for the purpose of dressing down the firefighters and EMS personnel at the ceremony.
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 IFA 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 isseriously 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.
Next steps:
Have DC visit each firehouse that had a member promoted.
Relay bullet point message.
They should understand that BITS [Bureau of Investigation and Trials] is gathering video and identifying members that brough discredit and to the Department.
We want the members to come forward. They will come to HQ to be educated why their behavior is unaccepatable.
The FDNY firefighters who booed NY AG Letitia James will be punished and face reeducation.
FDNY firefighters are now being asked to turn themselves in or risk being hunted down.
