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

39. .

In the real world he did his best.

If that is his best, he shouldn't be in a position where he faces people in crisis.

The crime here

Lol speaking of being overwrought...

is that he's being expected to be everything to everyone at all times in all circumstances.

I, personally, am expecting him to do is job as a first responder. To respond to a crisis and not lose his shit.

I don't blame him for being impatient and angry.

Me neither! It's a stressful job. I AM blaming him for how he expressed it.

She clearly wasn't going to be reasoned with.

Because she is a 10-year-old who was in a crisis.

The great effort being spent on splitting hairs and stretching the definition of the duties and job description of a fire chief are truly remarkable to behold. Rather than supporting, it reveals the weakness of the arguments that he should also be the town's mental health team and crisis intervention and family social worker. Please. 🙄

Oh I hope you don't think I was saying he should *also* be the mental health team and so on. Absolutely not! He's the fire chief, who oversees crews responding to crises. If someone is screaming and crying while their home burns and the chief walks over and screams "get a fucking hold of yourself," I think people would have a problem with that, don't you?
