He’s been singled out by his new boss#ChicagoFire

Fought and bled then as soon as he had power….did exactly everything he accused others of

Yeah taking out your frustrations on an old enemies child makes you the bad one

If you want to talk about improper. A superior who is bringing personal B of a family member that seems like an HR problem that he is now created and illegal nightmare for the city Chicago so it looks like he just fucked up instead of trying to reform

He's just a petty old man that forgot what it means to be a firefighter and "lives in the past, but exists in the present"

If i remember correctly, Benny suspended him and his partner due to a watch going missing at a jewelry shop years ago. Hopkins insisted he didn't take and defended his partner as well, so Benny suspended them both, but didn't put in the file why. Ever since, Hopkins has borne a grudge against Benny, one he took out on Kelly. Later, he found out that it was indeed his partner that stole the watch, he was very disgusted about it since he spent years defending them. He convinced them to come clean since if they didn't, he would, and in his own gruff way, apologized to Severide and dropped the grudge.

The minute he said "Your Kind" I would have stopped it right there and called HIS boss.

This the guy that blamed his dad for being a thief then we find out later it was his other partner that stole but hung him out to dry.

insecure bosses are always great

anyone smell discrimination suit? abuse of authority? Guys like him are a detriment, not a contributor, to social inequality.

HR: He did what!???

Being an AH just to be one because of perceived power.

A guy like that could get his crew killed. Blinded by pride and vengeance against someone that never did anything to him.

He just sounds like a very bitter & twisted old man, looking for revenge. That makes him a very dangerous fire chief !!

Hopkins sure knows how to carry a grudge. He should enter a strong man challenge.

Dude is being unreasonable for no reason

"Hi, yes, is this Human Resources? I need to file a complaint against my battalion commander, see he's creating a hostile work environment, and even admitted to me personally, face to face, that he is doing so on the basis of a personal vendetta against my Father. Yes that's right, he says he believes people like me and my Father need to be struck down, and he should have done so a long time ago. That's right, yes. You need a written statement, sure I'll be there in 15."

Part 2 The need to see how this ended plz

this guy is on a power trip

At that point go to HIS superior and explain the thing, you don’t bring personal feelings or I guess he never understood the ‘sin of the father’

When he said he had to "and bled" to get to his position that's called black fatigue!!!!
