We lionise fire fighters because they're not cops, but inevitably some are still arseholes
A fire fighter never kicked down my door looking for fire
That actually literally happened to my mom. Went months with a front door that wouldn't latch because they refused to repair it after the fact.
Long story short, building got struck by lightning and one of the units caught fire. Everyone evacuated. Billy Badass firefighter than proceeds to kick down my mom's door after she's already evacuated to make sure that the unit was unoccupied and that the fire hadn't spread. Her unit was on the for end of the building from the lightning strike and fire.
I know lots of firefighters, and most of them are authoritarian adrenaline junkies.
Or, rather, "trying to start a fire" would be a better analogy for cops
