Firefighters compared to ISIS for flying flags on trucks

Official's comments sparking outrage

City official makes firefighters remove the American flag from firetrucks, claiming it makes them look like terrorists.
“They look like a bunch of yahoos. Like in the paper, like ISIS in Syria going to take over a city. I don’t think they need that big flag on the back of the truck. That’s not America to me. Those are a bunch of terrorists. So, I’m going to ask you to take the flag off that truck.” -Central Coventry Fire District Chairman Fred Gralinski of Rhode Island.
