    In my experience firefighters are alright. Cops like shooting people but firefighters just want to put fires out and otherwise be the hero, they want nothing more than to be pictured saving a cat for a house fire. If you want to be the hero you can’t be the villain, cops don’t care though because they get off on bullying people.

      You should look up the history of firefighting in the US, because we’re heading back there and it’s not great.

        Or firefighting back in Roman times. “Oh no, what an unexpected fire in this place I’d like to buy! Too bad my men only put out fires in places I own, which, by the way, would you like to sell your burning home to me? I’ll pay half the price because I’m generous, you see”
