Trump went on to say, “The firemen have a — they have a big problem. They have a shooting problem, where they’re being shot at as they go to fires. This is a new phenomenon. People don’t even know about it. They are being shot at as they go to fires. They are being shot at as they put out fires. Is that so? We’ve got to change folks. We have to bring people together. We have such a divided country.”

 

No, Donald. Firefighters being shot at is not a "new" problem, and are isolated incidents that happen rarely (West Webster NY).  And people do know about it.

 

More firefighters are being killed by heart attacks, cancer, suicide, building construction, and low staffing DAILY then bullets.

While that is true, more people in emergency services are being shot at by skells.  I believe the point he was trying to make was that the liberal party has empowered criminals who are now not only taking aim at law enforcement but anyone working in emergency services.  Completely inexcusable.  These men and women are out on the streets helping the people who really need it and the liberal agenda has turned it into a race war.  Donald is attempting to bring light of that.
