General Discussion Border Patrol agents arrested firefighters fighting Washington wildfire after they asked the fire crew to line up to check their IDs.

What do we all think of this? Seems pretty nuts to me. They are actively getting in the way of wildlands guys as they do their job out there. I dont think this should be allowed or encouraged. Firefighting is a lot more important than .... risking 20 guys dressed exactly like firefighters crossing the Canadian border?

This is going to be said once and only once. The last time this topic was posted it turned into a complete off-topic shitshow and this post is heading the same way as well. This is not r/antifa r/anarchy r/politics any other politically-oriented subreddit. Deal with it. Keep the discussion to firefighting-related or your comment will be removed. If there is ANY more anti-government talk, or even the hint of suggesting violence toward government employees, the post will be locked and removed and those making the comments will be banned, PERMANENTLY. This isn't the place for that stuff. If you don't like it, leave.
