FDNY Chief Vows To 'Hunt Down' Own Employees Who Booed AG Letitia James
Lawsuit? I think the FDNY Chief should resign"It was a political stunt for the city to have the AG there. When it backfired, they sent their fascist pit bulls after guys for exercising their First Amendment rights," one unidentified FDNY retiree told the NY Post, adding "Most were off-duty and not in FDNY uniform."
Famed constitutional and criminal law attorney Alan Dershowitz blasted the FDNY’s hunt down.
“Firefighters have an absolute constitutional right to boo the attorney general, and the government has no power to punish them for it,” Dershowitz told The Post. “So efforts to get the names of the booers is an effort by the government to chill free speech and is unconstitutional.”
The Uniformed Fire Officers Association sent out a message to its members on Saturday warning them of the directive and that the department is in “possession of video footage of the event.”
“As part of this discussion, questions may be asked to specific UFOA members over their actions or their recollections,” the message said. -NY Post
