This is your chance to tell the Broken Arrow City Council that firing a leader for speaking his mind, tactfully is an outrageous act of cowardice. Chief Jackie Carner has over 14 years leading and won the sustained support of the firefighters' union. One disgruntled union employee and one banished city manager should not have the power to remove a proven leader who has the support of the firefighters, the city, and it's citizens. Your chance to overpower one cowardly voice is now.

What a joke. They fire a man for having a spine? Pathetic.

14 years of serving our community and they just dump him like trash? Absolute garbage city management. Bring him back immediately.

My son is on the force and he says Jackie had the respect of every single guy down at the station. This is a huge mistake.

This is ridiculous. Jackie is a good man and he actually cares about the crew. Politics ruins everything in this town.

Jackie was a great chief. The city council needs to stop bowing down to these people and doing what actually makes sense for once.
