Freedom of speech in the Fire Department? Not so much.
PHILADELPHIA: The police force union in Philadephia called Monday for the immediate firing of a city firefighter and aspiring rapper who wrote anti-police lyrics about turning "pigs into bacon bits."

The Fraternal Order of Police demanded the dismissal of Rodney Jean-Jacques, who raps under the name Cal Akbar. The word "pig" is derogatory slang for police officer.

Jean-Jacques' music received positive notice in 2005, when he wrote and performed "Take It Outside," a song encouraging fire safety. The song was promoted by the Fire Department and was shown during the broadcast of a football game between the Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys.
