That's great, we've got terrorists who are paid to put out fires. Really great.
Trump loves the poorly educated for a reason
Don't fret. Fear not the terrorist firefighters. We have terrorists at every level and in every position of our social fabric. I'm sure that's going to work out well for everyone.
NY firefighters, like cops have been hailed as golden heroes since 9/11 and it really went to their head. Most of these guys weren't even there, but they act like the city needs to suck their dick constantly.
Hopefully they will be arrested very soon. The whole institution is corrupt and needs to be defunded.
Will they refuse to help if you have a rainbow flag next?
According to science, probability ~~not~~.
Edit: fixed typo
I don‘t think that article says what you think it says. First we need to accept your comparison and generalize the study to question wether law enforcement will treat you differently because of political views. And then it clearly states that the LOE treated the participants differently (negatively), because of the political views:
Note that the “Nevertheless“ is in the context of the police only using the political bumper stickers as reason for citation only once. The rest of the citations were for other reasons. The participants had not been cited in all their driving in the year prior without the stickers. This leads to the mentioned statement by the author
You are correct. I miss-typed.
