Yeah, we should’ve known that rather than being “Trump’s fault it would be the liberals fault
It always is
You know in China,they always find a scapegoat!
I get all of that .
But wondering if the DEI thing is a factor.
Or is the story just fear mongering trying to play to people on our side ?
The left does this all time, Its not cool to do.
Again I don’t live there; but way too many stories are created just to get people angry and pissed off and hating each other .
Wrong for the left to do it, wrong for our side to do it.
“He’s been accused of not deploying Austin’s specialized teams ahead of the destruction, despite having been asked by the state to do so, because Texas was delayed in reimbursing the department for $800,000 in past deployments.”
What does that have to do with DEI?
I don’t think it was DEI.
I think it was sheer malice.
But abject stupidity sounds better, doesn’t it, than turning your back on thousands of assumed Trump voters out of spite.
Is every mayor, police chief or fire chief of a major city now black? It seems to be an amazing trend for such a “racist” country.
Does their job exist to have them excel at being Asian or LGBTQ? They only thing they need to be good at is putting out FIRES!
A stupid question, I know, but do people whose house is burning down or whose children are being swept away by floods really care all that much that the people coming to save them “reflect more of the community we serve”?
Austin, Southeast San Francisco.
He’s been needing The Boot pretty much since he was hired.
Now, they have an opportunity to weed him and all his DEI / BS
out of that fire department.
In Austin?? Not likely.
Same as the fat ugly lesbian in LA.
Incompetent and possibly unqualified.
That’s the truth.
It’s Austin...
Specialized swift water rescue teams and equipment
Activity seeking persons uninterested in a position, but otherwise meeting the qualification of being black. Chief should be fired immediately.
How many “people of color” applied to the fire department and were turned away? I’m betting “none”.
Pictured is the Marble Falls volunteer fire chief's vehicle and he is missing. The area needs all the help it can get and then some. Hey, keep sitting on your thumbs.
Check post #38.
Exactly. One would think FR would know that and be a bit more giving to their neighbors.
