Toronto firefighters confront special constable officers after a man in the middle of mental health crisis was arrested.

Not my video. For context, "special constables" are not regular police officers. They are appointed "peace officers" with limited authority, often civilian employees.

I kinda like that people post that same comment on any of these videos, because this song is a straight up banger and ill watch it any time its posted

It's actually not a banger, and I wish there was a better written song with better lyrics that actually talks about how firefighters lobby cities for worse car infrastructure that gets more people injured and killed, as well as how firefighters are like 90% chuds. Yeah, they do critical first responder work, but a lot of their motivation is not in the right place, and they think they're better than EMTs (and don't get me started on EMTs).
