When Jeff Gaglio, a Detroit paramedic, gave a blanket to an elderly man who had been rescued from a burning building in the middle of the night wearing only his underwear, little did he imagine he would be facing charges of misconduct for ‘giving away’ government property. In the hell-hole that is Detroit, it’s apparently considered a work code violation for emergency personnel to properly care for the victims of a house fire.
Jerald James, the Chief of Emergency Medical Services who is pushing for disciplinary action against Gaglio, stood by his actions when confronted by the local Fox News channel.
We can’t have an employee who feels that they have a right to give away state property without getting prior approval.
