The Los Angeles Fire Department is investigating an incident in which a firefighter “responded inappropriately” after being handed a letter to comply with the city’s vaccine mandate, a department spokeswoman said Wednesday.
The LAFD member responded to receiving the non-compliance letter by dropping his pants and wiping his buttocks with the letter, leaving fecal matter on the document, before dropping it to the ground, according to the Stentorians of Los Angeles City, a group representing African American firefighters.
The alleged incident underscores the deep resistance among some within the Fire Department over the city’s mandate that employees be vaccinated.
LAFD spokeswoman Cheryl Getuiza said the alleged incident occurred on Nov. 18. “The department is aware of the seriousness of the allegations and took immediate action upon learning of this incident,” she said, declining to comment on the details.
Getuiza said the firefighter is on paid administrative leave and “will face the consequences of any inappropriate acts.” She did not elaborate on specifically what prompted the leave.
An LAFD captain and a chief officer witnessed the incident, the Stentorians said in a statement sent to the Board of Fire Commissioners and city leaders. It took place at Fire Station 69 in Pacific Palisades, the group said.
“The LA City Stentorians are sickened and disgusted by this horrific display of unprofessionalism,” the Stentorians’ statement said. “To date, we have not heard from anyone from the LAFD administration condemning this act of blatant disrespect and harassment.”
The group called on the mayor, City Council and fire commission “to take swift and immediate action to deter any city employee from feeling entitled and not encouraged but empowered to behave in such an embarrassing and threatening manner.”

Doesn’t he know only the homeless are allowed to do that?
Ok. I agree with the sentiment, but that’s hard core stupid right there.
He could’ve pretended to wipe his butt over his pants and dropped it. But dropping your drawers in public and wiping your butt and dropping it on the ground? Just. Wow.
Lol
Imagine that you're a firefighter, with 25 years of service...
Imagine that you've sometimes had to risk your life. That you've sometimes been ordered to risk your life.
Imagine the emotional trauma you've endured when recovering the bodies of dead children from burnt-out buildings.
Imagine all the times you've shown up for work, and worked hard, even though you were feeling low, had back pains, or were going through, e.g., a difficult divorce.
Now imagine being handed an impertinent letter imperiously informing you that you had to submit to an experimental injection or would be thrown out on your ear, with your pension benefits severely impacted.
I, too, can understand this man's sentiment, and there might have been "smarter" ways to deal with this unlawful order, but I wouldn't judge him until I had walked a mile in his boots.

What’s the big deal? Brandon has been wiping his raunchy ass with the U.S. Constitution.
Some men just gotta act like men.
That’s what you call ‘Over The Top & Under The Bottom!”
Way too vulgar. Now everybody knows his name, but no one wants to shake his hand.
I would have done the same, except for dropping trow. I appreciate what this firefighter did, the hell with every city employee who is mad.
I would shake his hand! It’s cleaner then those that gave him that crap letter.
Joe Bribem does that daily with the Constitution.
Homeless, etc. can literally defecate on the streets in LA but let a firefighter wipe his arse with a letter and all hell breaks loose. GG woke, broke arse Leftist idiots.
They are perfectly willing to steal a man's profession, for defying a purely symbolic rule over a face diaper, and try to kill him with a questionable, dangerous and illegal medical treatment.
So you get all outraged over literally wiping his ass with the criminal document?
I suggest you rethink how near we are to a shooting conflict.
Nice!
ALL Unconstitutional Documents of that sort SHOULD be used as toilet
paper at every opportunity!
This is what happens when someone isn’t a regular user of a bidet.
At that moment he identified as an LA homeless person
Which he may very well turn into if they fire him for rejecting Vax Americana
perfect
