Once again something goes wrong and FDNY is handling it. As soon as I saw a firefighter on their knees I knew that whatever the problem was, people were being helped. What a commitment to humanity. If the 911 dispatchers would send the fire department instead of the police when a mentally ill person is in crisis, their life would not be extinguished by Nypd bullets. They would get care .
@735day Hard Amen from this agnostic
And they got the nerve to raise the fare
All I know is MTA is trash that is all.
The MTA Chronicles
That was the most MISERABLE two hours of my life
