Ep 117: Danny's Big Lawsuit

We have returned, again, and now Danny can finally discuss his lawsuit with the LAFD and city of LA. He can discuss it because its over and he WON a big victory for his fellow LAFD frontline members. He explains how his lawsuit came to be, the deeply ingrained traditions of the LAFD and how that culture can sometimes be to the detriment of the staff. We talk about how hard it actually is to attemot something that goes against a long standing tradition. All of the pushback and backlash you recieve from your fellow firefighters for the perception that YOU are ruining the culture of the department you love. How far does the department go to stop you?  What does the union think about it? How does it feel to be ostracized for standing up for something you believe in, that would benefit all of your fellow firefighters. What's it like when no one saw your vision, then you achieve your goal, and everyone starts to see what you meant. This is an episode about determination, and doing the right thing even when its hard.
