Fire chief to 10 yr old sobbing Black girl as she's loaded into ambulance: "Shut the f*** up!" "Shut your mouth!"

[Oopsie Daisy]

25. Ah... thanks for the info. It sounds like she needs help from CPS or another family crisis org.

It appears that her emotional state was well beyond being reasoned with and types of gentle, mild-mannered and soft-spoken negotiations. Shouting at a child and using "curse words" to get their attention would be much preferred than hitting them.

Was she hit, slapped, punched or struck? Was she personally insulted with epithets or the "n-word"? These things remain unclear to me.

Considering the circumstances, I agree it could have been handled better, but this doesn't rise to the level of causing me to be "outraged" or demanding that someone be fired for simply using the "f-word" and telling someone to "shut up".
