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.”

Had he put on a BLM t-shirt, and burned down the firehouse to protest systematic racism, that would have been fine.
Instead of dropping it to the ground, he should have sent it back “replied in full.”
There is resistance and then there is RESISTANCE! I would even shake this fellows hand (after he washed it).
SO..ahhhh..does that mean you are not getting the Jab?
You're close. It was his azz and the U.S. Constitution, but not his hand doing it. He couldn't find his azz with both hands. Probably Peppermint Patty.
Perfect.

Exactly!! This was nothing in comparison!
He kinda said it all.
He Bidened it!
He left a paper trail..
👍👍👍
My kind of guy!
Run for office!!!
Maybe he just figured that since his employer was now his doctor he would provide them with a stool sample to analyze. Pretty mundane stuff for the doctor’s office.
I think the homeless are as close to genuine sacred cows as the US has ever known. No one harms them (excepting between one another) and it takes specially trained civil servants to even shift them.
here take a jab of AIDS, err I mean snake oil , its free of charge ( except for the 3 trillion the govt paid)
They haven’t seen the tip of the iceberg yet.
I hope.
You can’t take a man’s job away for without cause or a reason so flimsy and expect not to get a response.
It just isn’t right and it just isn’t done.
Maybe that is what we need.
good one
what? no video?
threatening manner.”

In what way? Mindless blather that really paints the speaker as a girlish mewler.
A firefighter (or policeman or almost any high skilled high trained) individual can leave California and find a job almost anywhere.
It makes me wonder just why the Democrats are pushing so hard on this. It reminds of the audio of Jim Jones pleading with his followers to drink the “kool aid” before it is too late. Of course he was leading them to mass suicide but many did not know it.
