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?

Naw fuck PD, im extending professional courtesy when I engage with them. They make the mistake in thinking there is anything fraternal. There are probably plenty of people who disagree with this sentiment, but I don't do plod job nothing when I show up. Fuck off and run plates; I'm dealing with all your etoh and disorderlies.
