A Connecticut firefighter’s recent comment about drug overdose victims has resigned following a backlash from the community after a video surfaced online.
The news came on Wednesday, May 5 that Glastonbury Volunteer Firefighter James Stanley had resigned in a statement from Glastonbury Fire Chief Michael Thurz.
“This past Sunday (May 1), and while on his personal time, a former member of the Fire Department made an inappropriate and insensitive comment that violates the core opinions, values, and dignity of the organization,” Thurz said.
Thurz was referring to Stanley s alleged comments with Black Lives Matter 860 leader Ivelisse Correa, which were recorded, in which Stanley suggested banning Narcan used to revive opioid overdose victims.
