To clarify, the person in the clip is a woman, LAFD Assistant Chief Kristine Larson. Her attitude is a good reason for the shortage of firefighters in Los Angeles.
This is what she says in the clip:
“You want to see somebody that responds to your house, your emergency, whether it’s a medical call or a fire call that looks like you. It gives that person a little bit more ease, knowing that somebody might understand their situation better.
Is she strong enough to do this? Or you couldn’t carry my husband out of a fire, which my response is, he got himself in the wrong place if I have to carry him out of a fire.”
Why do you need a firefighter saving your life who looks like you? No one ever said they had to be saved from a fire by someone who looked like them. My late white husband risked his life running into fires to save black people in the South Bronx.
No one ever asked him if there was a black or Hispanic firefighter handy. He never hesitated to risk his life for them and never considered the color of their skin. That was true of every fireMAN. When they tried to put women in the fire department in New York City, it failed every time. The women can’t handle it physically. They become a burden.
Rethink this LA!
DEI means, among other things, fat useless fireman https://t.co/nmc9gFvsBm

When I saw the video of that woman, for a few seconds there I thought it was a fake video, she was a comedian, or maybe it was AI, but nope ! it is 100% real !
She blames the victim for being unconscious in a building that is on fire ???
And she thinks the firefighter has to look like the victim ??? what if the victim is 4 foot 10 inches drag queen, must the firefighter also be short and a drag queen???
That reminds me of something many many years ago, John Stossel had shown a video where MOST female firefighters were incapable of carrying a ladder or a rolled up fire hose and almost all did not have the physical strength to carry an unconscious victim out of a building.
He interviewed the female lawyer that was representing those female firefighters, and he asked her if she was ok with female firefighters dragging you, while unconscious, down the stairs from the fifth floor with your head banging on each steps.
She said she was ok with it, that what mattered was that females could become firefighters.
That is insanity.
It was not called DEI back then but it was DEI = Definitely Essentially Incompetent
Common sense and logic does not have a chance with these ‘imbeciles’ masquerading as ‘learned’ lawyers…
Thank you to the author for the gender clarity & to her husband “The Bravest” (not all will TRULY get that).
Imagine the relief a husband (in a fire) feels upon seeing a Fireman has arrived to rescue him. However, his joy is quickly replaced with a sense of doom. He has just realized that this is no ordinary Fireman. Instead, it’s a member of the LAFD’s “Elite DEI Battalion”. He knows his life has been betrayed by those preferring to meet the quota. The man’s dying wish was simple -“Make sure my wife votes Republican”…
If I don’t find humor or laughter through the pain, I couldn’t survive.
It must be “Pat’s” kid.
LMAO. Thank you, I needed that today!
