A union representing New York City firefighters is raising concerns over potential disciplinary actions against some of its members.

NEW YORK (AP) — A union representing New York City firefighters is raising concerns about possible disciplinary action against its members after state Attorney General Letitia James was booed and a pro-Donald Trump chant broke out during a fire department ceremony last week.

The Democrat, whose office won a $355 million penalty against the Republican former president for lying about his wealth last month, faced a chorus of jeers as she addressed a department promotions ceremony Thursday in Brooklyn.

    Far as I know it’s just the one song by Vincent E.L. And it’s, uh, not serious. But kinda fun.

    Fuck the fire department
    Dropping by unannounced just to fry your apartment
    If they can’t find a fire they’re like “Why don’t we start them?”
    I’m tired of arson
    Fuck the fire department

    I cry out in bargaining, eyes to the garden
    Begging release from the fire department
    I might get a pardon if I do what they ask of me
    Act passively
    And don’t do anything drastically

    Clap at their pageantry, bow and scrape
    Say it’s sour grapes from people out of shape
    You’re here for our sake
    And we’re grateful for all you do
    You’re still gonna burn my house down, aren’t you?

    I’m out of house, home, and every single possession
    Out of the frying pan and into depression
    Escaped physical aggression
    Into fiscal oppression
    Still don’t know what they meant by
    “Let this be a lesson!”

    We’re living in an infernocracy
    Things are not how we
    Think they ought to be
    It’s a mockery but I ain’t laughing
    My world’s on fire and I’m dying gasping
