Your posting seemed to be more of an advance notice of your presentation. It certainly sounds interesting, but I am not sure what you were looking for in terms of comments.
Since you asked... and I have had opinions from time to time...
Do we have to change something that is an acknowledged guess on your part?
Does your presentation and experience show that this is a prevalent attitude in the fire service? Certainly, if it is, then it should not be tolerated. Is a paper, based on your presentation available for those who can not attend your presentation?
You used the word "arrested" many times in your postings. What was the final outcome of these arrests? Confessions? Convictions?
Sounds like an interesting talk. Sorry I will not be able to attend. I do enjoy a good concert.
