I guess they also have death quotas in mind when they hire incompetent employees.

Well, if they already have a Nigro as commissioner, I think our work here is done, right?

Why not hire little people? Doesn’t the lack of little people successfully passing the “fitness” tests prove that the tests themselves are discriminatory?

What about the blind? The FDNY tests discriminate against them also!

So, Nigro is discriminating?

I wonder how a person who declares as a female gets counted ?

“That’s fine — but will they be able to put out fires?”

What the hell does that have to do with anything, these days?

911 for the best. 912 for equal opportunity firefighters. I wonder which one the commies would call if their house was ablaze.

Swell. Then let’s apply that to the NBA and NFL. They should look “more like America”. They lack sufficient diversity in that one segment of the population is overrepresented.

Or, play the best players, no matter what they look like or what gender they claim. But if the fire department does the same, it’s bigotry?
