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

30. Oh, hello! Thank you for sharing your opinion.

I'm able to look at the entire situation and the history rather than one word shouted in an effort to snap her back into some semblance of reality. For me, this simply does not rise to the level of overwrought outrage that warrants someone being fired or suspended.

>> If a leader in my community can't interact with someone having a crisis without demeaning them by screaming and cursing at them, bet that I want them out of their job.
Really... community leader? Please. Is this fellow a mental health family crisis counselor? If that's his job title and training level, then maybe we can have a discussion about how he can better handle an individual in emotional crisis. He can't be everything to everybody for every conceivable circumstance and situation. But all this hand-wringing about the fact that he shouted STFU is just OTT.
