A state Attorney General is supposed to enforce the law impartially for the benefit of all citizens. However, New York’s AG, Letitia James, ran on an inherently political platform, vowing that she would destroy President Trump—and she’s tried to keep that promise. No wonder, then, that when she spoke at a Fire Department of New York (“FDNY”) promotion ceremony on Thursday, she got a political response from the assembled crowd: Boos. Now, the FDNY has gone full North Korean: Those who booed must turn themselves in for punishment and reeducation or be “hunted down.”
Part One of this saga is Letitia James’s 2018 campaign promise to destroy Donald Trump:
I believe that this president is incompetent. I believe that this president is ill-equipped to serve in the highest office of this land. And I believe that he is an embarrassment to all that we stand for. He should be charged with obstructing justice. I believe that the president of these United States can be indicted for criminal offenses and we would join with law enforcement and other attorneys general across this nation in removing this president from office.

FDNY Chief of Department John Hodges fired off an email to other agency honchos warning a reckoning led by the department’s Bureau of Investigation and Trials was coming over the chorus of boos and chants of “Trump” that James received at Thursday’s event.
“BITS is investigating this, so they will figure out who the members are,” Hodges wrote FDNY chiefs Saturday in the letter obtained by The Post.
“I recommend they come forward. I have been told by the commissioner it will be better for them if they come forward and we don’t have to hunt them down,” he continued.

Is there any news on how the trucker’s boycott of NY is doing?
They should use this BS as a recruitment campaign then let’s see how that goes.
I have not heard a thing lately.
All of NYFD should step forward as “boo-ers” and the surrounding cities even in other states should step forward too. Maybe they can all “stand down” and let any fires just burn baby burn—you know, kinda like the “mostly peaceful protestors” fires from a couple of summers ago. Who knows? Maybe one of the millions of illegals is a pyromaniac...and of course per the President we are supposed to welcome these “newcomers.” Gonna be an interesting spring and summer...
If asked if you booed, they should simply reply “I cannot recall”.
Now crime is rising because cops are straight-jacketed, just in time for them to control and demoralize the fire-fighters.
NYC really has a death wish

Isn’t punishing people for political speech at a political rally against the law???
