Comment on American cops think they're what American firemen ARE.
NotJohnSmith@feddit.uk 2 weeks agoThat’s really interesting, thanks. Incredible that it’s a political stance, why do Republicans vote against it can I ask? - is it seen sort of like a socialist provision?

I wouldn’t know, but probably something like “I ain’t payin’ for putting out someone else’s fire! And I sure as hell ain’t payin’ a bunch guys to sit around the firehouse when nuthin’ is burnin’!”
Meanwhile a lot of the work our firefighters do throughout the year is clearing brush, creating and maintaining pre-emptive fire lines so they’ll have places to make a stand when wildfires do erupt, and making sure buildings are less likely to burn in the first place.
Oh that reminds me, I should probably add, “Ain’t nobody gonna tell me what I can do on my property!”
