The New York City Fire Department (FDNY) issued a memo scolding firefighters it says brought "discredit" to the department after booing New York Attorney General Letitia James and cheering for former President Trump at a promotion ceremony last week, warning those who took part to protest on their own time, according to a report.
Following a New York Post report about the leaked memo, FDNY spokesman Jim Long confirmed to Fox News Digital on Monday morning that chief officers went to firehouses over the weekend to discuss the events of Thursday and speak to the concerns and disappointment with the behavior shown during James' remarks.

A boo is a protest and showing up unarmed and following police directions is an insurrection.

I guess thats what happens when you order people to go to a political event to falsely portray support for the corruptocrat running it. I hope everyone who booed denies it. Those who gave the order are more wrong than those who made the noise.

Why was she even there?
They're not in her chain of command or department.
Did it cost tax payers to have her there doing nothing?

If firefighters protest on the department's time, that is vile to lie-berals.
But if professional sports thugs protest during a game, that is "brave" and "courageous" to lie-berals.
Consistency is not something a lie-beral can comprehend!!!

It seems that the firefighters were mandated to attend a purely political appearance. Why are they mandated to be anywhere other than their respective work locations? I think she should put on her big girl panties and laugh it off, tell the Ogres to back off, and get on with ruining the city. It’s what she does best.

I'm certain any firefighter who they try to shame can easily find a new job in a red state. They are highly trained.

Then don't use them as a political prop! Or do so at your own risk.

I'll say it again. Letitia James better get used to this. No one will ever forget how she went after an innocent man for political reasons.

NYPD got around the reg prohibiting certain actions while in uniform by turning their backs on the speaker, walking the fine line successfully.

I'm sure their protest would be perfectly permissible if the firefighters were cheering LJ and booing President Trump.

Since when is it us a sin to protest a government official. They were off duty and are citizens. They have every right to do so.

Top officers in NYC agenciesare appointed, not elected. They will do what they're told or lose their pensions and rank.

Many years ago, there was a TV series called "v" for some alien visitors who although they acted like friendly benefactors actually arrived because humans were their food source.
Anyway, one day the visitors, as they were known, were making some donation to the children's hospital when a protestor pulled the skin away revealing the true lizard like skin of the aliens. The live tv feed was immediately stopped.
A few days later, the scene was reenacted, with well armed guards just off camera.
Maybe Ms James will need to do that next time she appears to be adored by the masses.

If they really want to make an impact maybe look to either retire early or look for work outside NYC? Like the police.

I think that the reputation of the FDNY-as it applies to their COURAGE, SELFLESSNESS, and DEDICATION TO DUTY-are way above reproach. It's the reputation of the NY Dept. of Justice that's in tatters. James is lucky she didn't get showered with rotten garbage, she is a THUG and not worthy of any respect.
