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?

Took one look at this and it’s pretty evident that you’re a total fucking kook. Entry fitness test for the border patrol includes a 1.5 mile “run” in 13 mins or less, a 220 yard sprint, and an “obstacle course”. Shit, I could crawl through all of those events and still beat out you and probably 98% of you rubes.
