NEW ORLEANS, LA (WVUE) - The controversy over the removal of the confederate-era monuments leads to a call for the New Orleans fire chief to step down.
About 30 firefighters protested Saturday, airing a number of grievances.
They gathered five days after some of their own were called to duty, not to battle fires, but to take down a monument that commemorated the Battle of Liberty Place.
"Hey hey ho ho...Timmy McConnell's got to go," they chanted.
More than two-dozen firefighters protested outside department headquarters calling for their chief to step down.
"We're here today to announce our formal motion that was passed months ago, with a no confidence vote against Timmy McConnell," said firefighters' association head Nick Felton.
The protest was interrupted several times, with some firefighters driving by in their trucks.
Firefighters say about a half dozen of their own were used Monday morning to tear down the Liberty monument, a job they say they aren't trained for.
"We fight fires, when Grandma Jones is trapped on third floor, we go out and get em," said Felton.LINK

Reading some of the Facebook comments a lot of BLM and snowflakes couldn't believe that they were protesting over those " racist statues " .... white men are allowed to protest I guess

The only person that can fire him is the person that hired him.
Guess who that is.

Where's fiancé that is is dumb.. "divisive" so you just keep it up?
Yeah that's smart...just to appease those that rather do wrong to piss the majority of the city other than do the right thing.
There is no good moral argument to keep those statues up. Not one single one. Sorry, progress usually hits the south decades after everyone else gets up to speed, but they should be glad they are getting up to speed.
They better get to work the minute after jazz fest is over. These tax dollars don't go to them just to sit on their asses

So we shouldn't see any welfare recipients protesting the Alton Sterling decision right?

lol they chose to work for city. If you really don't wanna do it, don't do it and risk being fired. Quit and find another job if you don't want to obey orders from your chief.
Disobedient serfs smh

They don't work for the city, unless we know so specifically. They can do whatever the hell they want
