FDNY turns up heat on firefighters who cheered Trump, booed Letitia James with scolding internal letter

FDNY brass is turning up the heat on pro-Trump firefighters who showered state Attorney General Letitia James with boos at a raucous promotion ceremony, a memo obtained by The Post reveals.
The memo, handed out at Big Apple firehouses Sunday, warns firefighters that department investigators are reviewing video footage of the event in Brooklyn last week to ID those behind the “grossly inappropriate” conduct — and cautioned them to keep their politics at home.
“When you’re not on duty, feel however you want about politicians,” the document said. “Vote. Protest. That’s your right. But don’t do it on the job’s time, on other members’ time, or on their families’ time. Do it on your own time.”
The memo also reinforced that the department’s Bureau of Investigations and Trials was going after the offenders — echoing an email by Chief of Department John Hodges on Saturday.
Firefighters “should understand that BITS is gathering video and identifying members that brought discredit … to the department,” the Sunday memo said. “We want the members to come forward. They will come to HQ to be educated [on] why their behavior is unacceptable.”

How can one disrespect a ghettopoyamus like Letisha?
-
You're not allowed to boo now? How will they know who was booing and who wasn't?

Weird speculates:
"How will they know who was booing and who wasn't?"
Cameras.
They'll conduct an "investigation" as thorough as the one the FBI is waging against the "January 6th people". Wait and see.

This worthless Commissioner is not even a firefighter but a political hack.

An example of what happens to right-minded people when "feelings" and "emotions" are given precedence over facts and truth.
Once in power, retribution and revenge...

Adams must really hate the NYFD to appoint such a person as her to be the top hoser.

A decent firefighter or paramedic should be able to find a job in almost any state.

She's gonna make sure that male dominated, misogynistic NYFD doesn't get away with "disrespectin'" females in positions of authority...

Meet Laura Kavanagh, the Fire Commander of the New York City Fire Department and the woman who started the investigation into firefighters who booed Letitia James and chanted for Trump. She was appointed by Mayor Eric Adams and has never been a firefighter herself.

She’s worked on many political campaigns for democrats and even oversaw the complete diversification of the FDNY. Her office has made it clear that anyone who was involved in booing James will be “educated” on proper conduct.
Why is a woman who’s never served as a firefighter serving as the Commander?

BREAKING NOW: ⚠️ FDNY reverses course on 'HUNT' FOR FIREFIGHTERS who booed Letitia James, cheered Donald Trump..
Somebody realized LAWSUITS WERE COMING hard and fast..
New York City Fire Department officials have dismissed the idea of pursuing action against lower-ranking members who booed New York Attorney General Letitia James during her appearance at a ceremony last week.
"There has never been an inquiry regarding members booing," stated an FDNY spokesperson to Fox News on Wednesday, which seems to refute earlier claims about an internal email from senior officers that led to several days of negative media coverage for the department.

The Union must have sent a nasty-gram to the city's general counsel, advising FDNY about how stupid hunting these guys down for exercising free speech would be for all involved at the management level.

Just a recollection (if I'm remembering wrong, please correct me)...
Seems like in the days after the World Trade Center attack, the NYFD was "the first responder" in the ruins of the towers, excavating debris and searching for survivors.
Then, someone in city government (I don't think it was Giuliani) got the idea that they were going to remove the firemen from the site and use others. Probably for less money or something along that line.
The firefighters went ballistic on the city government, pretty much saying how it was their department that suffered the most loss there, and that THEY were going to be the ones to recover their dead.
The city backed away quickly on that... and the FDNY continued on the job to the end.
The lesson:
Go after the FDNY for the wrong reason... and there will be consequences.
-
Well....suppose they had a fire and nobody came?
Not that firefighters in the FDNY would take it that far, that just isn't in a firefighter's wheelhouse.
But come after me for expressing my opinion, and color me gone.
Good firefighters are eminently employable in Conservative America, as are good paramedics.

At the time, correct me if I'm wrong, but Hillary was a Senator for NYS and she was booed as well by the firefighters.
