Fireman: "No, We Can't Come."

Despite pleas, D.C. firemen let a man die in the street despite please from daughter and police citing they needed to be 'dispatched' first.

The first thing that came to mind when I read this (an investigation is pending) is do these five men have any fucking honor? A sense of humanity on any level? How callous? Did they really let procedure and policy determined their course of action in the face of life and death?

I can't think of a word but it's a cross between stupidity, evil and shock. Schockevity.

Jobsworth at its worse.

"A jobsworth is a person who uses their job description in a deliberately uncooperative way, or who seemingly delights in acting in an obstructive or unhelpful manner."

Union workers are notorious for invoking 'it's not in my job description.' Wouldn't surprise me one bit if these are the sorta guys that would go on strike for better pensions the next day.
