FDNY brawl

[rocket surgeon]

Curious to know what led to this fight and even more curious why nothing has been done about it 2 months later.  short of 6 of them receiving a 1 month suspension (not sure if it was with or without pay) nothing else has happened. I haven't seen the tape, nor do I really want to as it sounds like it was nasty violent and I can get enough of a visual. "They can't believe one of them wasn't killed". That sounds to me right there that someone should be fired and jailed.  I don't think I could do this to my neighbor, wife, kid, etc without some type of charge

Maybe brew or tower know more about this?

Drunk people shouldn't yell racial epithets at other drunk people.   I have little doubt there will be firings and jail time.     As it should be.

Politics.

Politics.

I didn't see this as a political issue at all.  As I said, I did not watch the video because the violence described was enough for me.  If there was politics involved, I apologize.  I simply saw it from a,standpoint of what's up with the lack of action upon those involved after 2months.  I could understand if there wasn't a video of it.  I get how that could take longer to sort thru the b.s.

No one will be receiving jail time for a drunken bar fight unless they have a decent amount of priors. Especially in New York, the cops have bigger things to deal with.

Nonsense. Umm...... I'm guessing that if a bar fight of this magnitude broke out in Harlem, there would be plenty of jail time.

I would have thought a drunken brawler not having any priors would be grounds for arrest - or at least probable cause for further investigation - in NY.

Exactly, Benny. Hard to believe that for those guys it was their first rodeo.
