A fire fighter never kicked down my door looking for fire
Or, rather, "trying to start a fire" would be a better analogy for cops
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.

Based union. Never endorse a party of Capital.
Is it sexism? It's sexism isn't it.
Why any union would endorse a politician is perplexing. Do you really think any of the pond scum in [insert any capital here] give a fuck about the working class?
Look at whats happening in Australia right now under the most pro union government in the world. Those fire fighters should be endorsing fire bombing these criminals homes.
