The department said it was made aware of Granucci's video.

"While we respect the individual's right to his opinion, he is not authorized to speak on behalf of the Department," the statement said. "The individual is in uniform and appears to be on duty, thereby giving the impression that he is speaking in an official capacity."

The department warned that "the matter has been submitted to our Professional Standards Division for investigation, which may lead to disciplinary action."

Freddy Escobar, president of the United Firefighters of LA City, said in a statement that "there is passionate discussion regarding this issue in our fire stations," and the majority of firefighters "have voluntarily been vaccinated and more are choosing to do so each week."

"We continue to encourage our members to get vaccinated, but we do not support any City policies that make it a condition of employment," he said.

However, Escobar said the union is in "discussions with the City because our highly skilled and experienced LAFD Firefighters and Paramedics cannot be easily replaced -- especially in a department that is already understaffed."

Looks like the union doesn't support making it a condition of employment. Yet! Some money under that table and..... Well, you know. IIRC the postal carriers union got a pass. Anyone know of others? UAW? Teamsters? IBEW?

Telling the truth will be illegal soon.

If he’d only said “trannie” and not “tyranny” he’d be in the clear.
