NEW YORK (AP) — A union representing New York City firefighters is raising concerns about possible disciplinary action against its members after state Attorney General Letitia James was booed and a pro-Donald Trump chant broke out during a fire department ceremony last week.
The Democrat, whose office won a $355 million penalty against the Republican former president for lying about his wealth last month, faced a chorus of jeers as she addressed a department promotions ceremony Thursday in Brooklyn.
Ah yes, “respect my authority and ignore the first amendment or I’ll ‘investigate’ you and put you in jail”… Where have I heard that before…?
Username checks out.
Not while in uniform.
Just like they lose their right to privacy and can be filmed, they are acting as the organization they represent while wearing the uniform, their individual rights do not have the same application.
This is not new, this is not illegal or a constitutional violation, and has been through the Supreme Court before.
No. It’s Sociology 101.
