His last name being on the back of his hat was a better ID anyway. LisaL Jan 2021 #15

Not in thie case if he was retired from the Chester Fire Department? Spider Jerusalem Jan 2021 #25

The hat is sold on numerous websites. LisaL Jan 2021 #28

No, it doesn't! Spider Jerusalem Jan 2021 #29

That's not the same freaking hat I am talking about, is it? LisaL Jan 2021 #32

i hope there are more serious charges coming.. samnsara Jan 2021 #13

What a betrayal of trust. Fire Fighters depend on police to have their backs. And vice versa. yellowcanine Jan 2021 #17

Appears to be a very angry individual. LisaL Jan 2021 #19

Lock him up with some rogue cops. See how that works out for him. yellowcanine Jan 2021 #20

Hope he goes to jail for a long damn time. Marrah_Goodman Jan 2021 #24

Glad to see it, but stupid question russiamommy Jan 2021 #26

Nice friend he has. Lol Hassin Bin Sober Jan 2021 #27

DU was convinced this guy worked for Chicago FD. cwydro Jan 2021 #30

This guy is a retired fire fighter. LisaL Jan 2021 #31

I know. DU had numerous posts yesterday naming him as a Chicago firefighter. cwydro Jan 2021 #34

Internets identified a wrong guy from Chicago Fire Department. LisaL Jan 2021 #35

Yes, and it was posted again and again here on DU. cwydro Jan 2021 #36

It certainly could be bad news. LisaL Jan 2021 #37

People don't have to post every damn thing they see on Twitter. cwydro Jan 2021 #38
