Nobody has ever written a hit song called fuck the fire department.
Or fuck the EMTs
Public Enemy did “911 is a joke”. Not exactly about the EMT people themselves though
You made the statement true by adding the word “hit”.
Vincent E. L. did in fact make a some by that name … it was not a hit though.

Don’t agree? Ask their wives.
This young trans girl i know was kicked out by her parents and moved to my city. She was hatecrimed a few weeks after she moved, and went to the police. She was convinced that they were on her side. One of the cops gave her his phone number and she got the impression that he was interested in her and was going to hook up with him. My friends and i very emphatically talked her out of it. I wonder if she would’ve survived.
It’s not like people hate cops because they want to, or enjoy it. They want to love and be proud of their community’s police, they want to feel safe and truly looked out for and cared for.
Unfortunately that’s far, far from reality, and here we are.
We need the ability to tag users on Lemmy so that when we figure out that someone is a tankie or an anti-Canadian propagandist we can tag them so that the next time we see them comment we know they are a bad faith actor and can respond appropriately (and by appropriately I mean not wasting our time trying to have a good faith discussion.)
EDIT:
NegativeYoda said that Sync for Lemmy had the functionality I was looking for so I checked it out.
It does.
I was able to (temporarily) highlight NY in red like a banned user and tag him as a tankie. This week makes my lemmy experience much less frustrating. I’ve ashtray done the same (for real) to several obvious bad actors so I don’t get drawn into a discussion with someone who has no intention of participating in good faith.
