A union representing New York City firefighters is raising concerns over potential disciplinary actions against some of its members.

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.

    I doubt most of those ones chanting were even there or were more than children when this all happened. They never got to feel the pain, but they’ve enjoyed the hero worship that NY put on firefighters after 9/11.

        I don’t know… Most firefighters I’ve met were decent. And you don’t hear many songs titled “fuck the fire department”.

          There’s no pattern of firefighters getting away with shooting anyone. Hell, even with the police having that pattern, it took a long-ass time for them to lose their “hero” status.
