“Then he asks for ID. I say, ‘No problem.’ He takes a picture of my ID and says I need to get a different one.”

I was about to post the same thing.

That’s the one!

You are fuquing killing me, but I’m sure it was this one in particular:

See, then have seen those Ocean’s (11,12,13) movies so having the uniforms and even a fire truck was just an elaborate plot to steal those Franklin Mint collector plates out the family room. 

I honestly believe white supremacists make up a small portion of the U.S. population.

White supremacists don’t care about equality!

My local PD also tells us to call them if somebody is acting suspicious in our neighborhood, uniform or not.

“OUR” Firemen are heroes!

Dear other European Americans, be like Megan Bryan. 

Bout damn time people call out the shitty undercover racists that hide out here in the Bay. Fuck em.

I would suggest that Moore do his inspections with a second fire fighter in uniform.  It won’t stop racist jerks from being racists jerks.  But it would help him to have some back up when this happens.  And he had his ID.  So, he was covered.  This is a real dilemma.  On the one hand, if I saw someone rooting around…

Living in the South I always feel uncomfortable with strange white people wondering around my house. I think I’ll start calling the police on whites that I don’t personally know for suspicious behaviors whenever I see them...

was harassed questioned and recorded by a resident who thought he was suspicious even though he was in full uniform and had his fire truck parked nearby.

FFS...I can understand being curious or potentially concerned about a stranger looking around your house or in your back yard, but when they are wearing firefighter clothes with a radio and a parked fire truck....

This is the problem with racist/racism: If you’re dressed in track pants or a hoody (like Trayvon) they say you look like a thug, that’s why we treated you the way you did. “You need to dress and act better then we won’t kill you shit on you.” Now here comes Moore, dressed like a fireman, and acting the way someone in…

Can I just repeat that last part:

I wonder if we need to give Are You Fucking Kidding Me? Awards.

Why did the resident think Moore wasn’t legit? Because he was wearing sneakers—something Crudele says is also commonplace for firefighters doing vegetation inspections.

If they don’t comply to health and safety in which to do his job, he can just fine their asses.
