From the mall parking lot to traffic patrol.
The Bullies in Blue (BUBs) are out and about a lot lately.
Well, maybe for the California Highway Patrol they’re the Bullies in Brown! They’re the still the BuBs!
Ping.
That really says it all right there. The CHP-head is so insecure that he immediately threatens arrest. I guess he showed restraint in not shooting the fireman.
And right back to the mall parking lot, if reason and common sense were still legally available in California.
IF the story is true as reported, then the CHP officer is an overly aggressive, totalitarian a—hole who should be fired immediately.
Good thing the fireman didn’t have his dog with him...
I think that is also true in Virginia.
This question was worked out for Chicago many years ago.
The coppers do NOT mess with the firemen.
There are many cops that are rough & tough and in top condition but not all of them.
The firemen have to prove they are in good shape or better; often.
I worked in a hospital,15+ floors, the employees were told to pull an alarm if they ‘smell anything’! The fire men were out about twice a week; half RUN up the stairs the rest use the elevators.All in boots and raincoats loaded to the max!
Saw it many times.
Many times they ran to the top because the sensors where in the mechanical penthouse; so shown on the alarm panel.
Uh,they aren’t called “raincoats”.
They call then turnouts.
We call ours “bunker gear”, but I’ve heard “turnout gear” used in other far away parts of the state.
Has to be the thurd one on the left , typical little pick
His name is Lt. Dangle.
Under Unified Command the ranking fire official, once on scene, has command of the entire incident. This would include traffic control. In the area of securing evidence or protection the police officer has the duty to intervene.
“Brooklyn Nine Nine”?
Ever wonder why Firemen don't have DOGS on their trucks anymore? And why Dalmations seem to be so rare ?
Just two union goons arguing over who “owns” the turf. The cop goon wins because he has the gun. Heaven help us with people like this “serving us.”
More and more people are telling me that they avoid all contact with the police and they no longer trust them.
Now that you mention it, I’m trying to think of the last time I saw a dalmatian on a fire truck....
Of course, there’s also the fact that the dogs’ original purpose was to keep other dogs and thieves away from the horses and equipment firemen used before automobiles were invented.
