Our blog community talked about this verdict FIRST and now here's an important interview with the 1st Responder:
Veteran KC firefighter wins race discrimination lawsuit
A veteran Kansas City firefighter won a race discrimination lawsuit this week against the Fire Department and city. Tarshish "T.J." Jones was a firetruck driver. He claimed that the department deprived him a promotion because of race. "It's not an accident. Maybe once or twice is an accident.
If your test scores are good enough you should get a promotion. If not well then you should not. If you have a chip on your shoulder then nope once again you should not. Being an officer is more about being a leader than just a test score result. And having people like Lynne Bratcher deciding who is and isn't a good candidate for an officer is utter bullshit. As well, thinking your're qualified and have the seniority does not always make you a good officer. Overland Park had as a Chief once one of the smartest men I knew in the fire service. Sad part about Pat was, he wasn't the type of leader it takes to be an officer.
ReplyDeleteWhat Happened? Did the fire department make him work or something like that?
ReplyDeleteThat’s funny right there!!!
ReplyDeleteWAT a load!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteVeteran of sitting on his nutsack in suburb stations
ReplyDeleteYou have to do good on the test. I guess cause he's black he shouldn't have to take the test.
ReplyDeletethe fact that he sued proves he was wrong for the promotion , i hope the city appeals the verdict , and after taxes , lawyer fees , cuzins , aunties , will will & ray ray take their cut , he will probably have enough leftover for a carton of newports .
ReplyDelete1. You mean a product of the KCPS system couldn't pass a test. Shocking.
ReplyDelete2. Has he tried a transfer to the Water Dept. Less work.
This load of shit gives KCFD a bad name and the majority of the fireman couldn't like this pussy bullshit either.
ReplyDeleteI voted for people that I knew would help the fire dept and tax and bond issues but I won't ever again.
ReplyDeleteFUCK THIS DICKHEAD FUCK THE FIRE DEPT AND MOST OF ALL FUCK KILLA CITY
ReplyDeleteWhat about all the white guys that got passed over so the city could go down the captains list to find a minority to promote. They use to pass over whites go to people that did worse on the test and promote them aka affirmative action. So if you died first on the list and they promoted 18 minorities behind you thats ok. Whatever respect i had for tj as a person and ff is gone. In my opinion pure trash
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't vote for shit they want
ReplyDeleteno one wants that job anymore cause you have to deal with loads like him
ReplyDeleteThey won't be getting my support.
ReplyDeletewelcome to a hostile work environment
ReplyDeleteI remember trying to get on KCFD in the 80 s thousands applied.now they're lucky to get hundreds
ReplyDeleteThis guy should get the fuck out of KILLA city
ReplyDeleteThis sorry ass sack of shit needs a pillow party upside his head
ReplyDeleteDid this spook get a disability too
ReplyDeleteThis is what happens when the city hires teachers to hire firefighters you get these pussies
ReplyDeleteOver 35 years on the fire department. Took me ten years to make Captain, and I'm white.
ReplyDeleteno trolling here , but seriously, how many cocks passed thru your mouth ? , or was it just plain old nepotism?
DeleteBet the lawyers are lined up for future discrimination cases. Kinda like hitting the lottery.
ReplyDeleteWas Jackie from " Seinfeld " his lawyer ?
ReplyDeleteI won't support the KCFD anymore and who ever they support I will vote against .no more taxes for you
ReplyDeleteThis guy is laughing all the way to the bank and guess what?you are funding it
ReplyDeleteThe fire Union is going to have to hand out handies before anyone will vote for the bullshit they want
ReplyDeleteI used to look up to the fire dept but looking at the larger picture they support criminal liberal dem leaders that are taking down every liberal city in this country. SO FUCK THEM!
ReplyDeleteKILLA CITY IS DONE THE NIGS ARE GOING TO MAKE SURE OF THAT
ReplyDeleteWhy does this city continue to fuck up everything?
ReplyDeleteKCFD Used to have a rep. for being one of the best departments in the US.
ReplyDeleteKc used to be a great city and place to live.Then the libs fucked it up.
ReplyDeleteKansas City in the 70s and 80s was on the top ten list of places to live.Skip forward 40 years and many shitty democrat leaders later and were on the top ten most dangerous cities to live in.So can we figure out the problem or are we going to continue to vote for these liberal scumbag liars.
ReplyDeleteThey don't call them hosers for nothing.
ReplyDeleteKCFD never will promote unless your one of the chosen Italian.
ReplyDeleteWell 356 k is about what it cost to fix truck 15 after T.j got it stuck under the 107th street bridge..So the city should tell him we are good we owe you nothing.
ReplyDeleteI worked around him in the same district and what a load he was. He worked harder to get out of work then if he just did the work he was hired to do.
ReplyDelete411 is full of shit!
ReplyDeleteTHIS GUY SOUNDS LIKE A REAL FUCKUP!
ReplyDeleteWasn't this guy that demanded maternity leave?
ReplyDelete
