A memo has gone out to firehouses across New York City in the wake of New York Attorney General Letitia James getting booed at a recent FDNY ceremony.
James, who pushed Donald Trump’s civil fraud case, was booed and met with “Trump” chants.
From The New York Post:
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.”
The memo also said the department’s reputation with the ceremony’s host has also been damaged, and added that “we may lose that venue now.”
