ReplyDeleteDemocrat Affirmative Action scammers vs. Democrat greedy Firefighters Union slobs..
Democrats not playing well together..
KCFD's HR prolly cooking up a big smelly batch of Critical Race Theory training for whites only.
ReplyDeleteWe need even more discrimination in the KCFD otherwise our fire protection will seriously deteriorate if we have to hire blacks and women rather than qualified candidates.
ReplyDeleteThe last class for fire fighters had zero blacks enroll. They are afraid of hard work.
DeleteI think a couple of hot young sluts should be hired at each station. They would improve moral as long as they put out. Added bonus if they can cook and clean.
ReplyDeleteDidnt we have a black fire captain convicted of selling guns to felons?
ReplyDeleteJames Samuels was the black fire captain who plead guilty to selling guns to felons. At least one of those guns was used to murder someone. Then there was Pleaze Robinson the black KCFD fireman who beat a woman in a road rage.
ReplyDeleteThe KCFD is an incredible waste of money. Diversity will make it even worse.

You want to do those jobs and those hours for less ?
DeleteHey, no worry 8:09. All that OT for FD is miniscule compared to just the signing bonus money for those heroes on the Chiefs roster! Maybe Patty and Travis can help.
ReplyDeleteSomeone putting in that much overtime can't be 100% alert on the job.
ReplyDelete11:14, someone claiming that much overtime pay probably isn't telling the truth.
ReplyDeleteBLM has been a boom for black actors. 12% of the population is now 75% of the people in commercials.
