I'm not defending anyone or their actions. I got the feeling a while back that the Chief's not well liked among the firefighters.

Agreed. Also, while I think DEI needs to be rooted out wherever it can, and I wish them luck with that, this just struck me as a bit of a double standard to wade through while trying to decipher balls and strikes.

What do you base your belief on? First hand info? Have you talked to any AFD firefighters?
