    And the fallout continues. Two other FF and one EMS were canned today for FB posts.

    Basically in response to the Interstate shut downs by the protesters, saying “don’t be in my way or else”.

    Who has responsibility for EMS and Fire services in the event the roadways are closed by protesters?
Is the city council/mayor going to accept responsibility and the object of lawsuits?
==
‘Local’ politicians in these cities are not doing themselves any favors by allowing these (or any) protesters to shut down major roadways that could hamper emergency services.
Some 37 cities are supposed to have major protests on Friday.

    OK, well, he said he’d run them over. I’d like to change my previous post to say people should be careful what they post on FB or Twitter. Better yet, don’t ever use them if possible.

That’s true. Closing a road can kill someone or cause grave harm. Would it be justified to run a hole through the protesters if a critically ill patient is being transported?

    These days....you ought to marshal your remarks everywhere.
Unless you have plenty of money..and/or connections....your words can be used against you.

    this is what happens when you have weak leaders, and of course I use that term loosely.

    We've become so PC you can't even threaten posts anymore.

    Has the black surgeon who treated the 5 dead cops been fired yet for running his political mouth on live television?

    Though I agree with his sentiment, posting on FB exhibits extremely poor judgement for someone in his position of leadership.
