PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Some city officials are upset over a photo posted to Instagram by a West Philadelphia paramedic, showing two black men pointing a gun at a police officer and describing police as “the enemy.”

~snip~

The paramedic has since taken the photo down and responded on Facebook saying that he deeply apologizes and that he did not mean to hurt his brothers in blue or offend anyone.

It is not known at this time if the paramedic will be disciplined.

How about firing his racist ass, then the rest of him for good measure...

There is your discipline...And do it publically, like the mayor’s weak response so far for this inflammatory act...

But hey, this is just my opinion...

He should be fired, and bla-, er, African-American-balled.

I guess we should be pleased that at least one black person somewhere is being held to a standard.

Sadly it was probably the gun that got everyone riled.

What standard???

A stern statement by an elected official, technically HIS boss, telling the community that this incident is regretful??? Apologizing for the racist schmup???

Sorry, you may have inadvertently stated “standard”...Could you have possibly meant “double standard?”???

Not cross with you in the slightest...Just want to make sure...No prob bob...;-)

The camo attire matches that I saw in a Daily News photo purporting to be paramedics getting the perp out of the subway.
