Gasshog asked that I see this post and comment on every line.
Wow you sure did pack a lot here.
I think I can help give everyone info on how somethings work rather than point out something I may have an issue with.
I’m learning how to comment here. I admit I’m rough on the edges.
A quick disclaimer........I believe the event on Jan. 6th at the Capitol was indeed a set up. I believe Antifa was there and posed as Trump supporters........I believe Antifa provoked and guided real Trump supporters to enter the Capitol and encouraged some to break or steal.
I also believe Ashli was fooled and caught up in the trick and it cost Ashli her life.
Ok.....in this post there seems to be a lot of points regarding the EMS crew, or FD, or the people around.......
Here is the general process of a “run” or “call” (Michigan we say “run”).
If EMS is dispatched to a diabetic problem, possible insulin shock, the one until will respond and in many locales a fire engine is sent. Usually in the Suburbs.
Why is the fire engine sent?
Because if the patient is 300 plus pounds and or in a small room not able to move, a 2 person EMS crew will have more people to help lift and transport the patient. This is done ideally.......except in some inner cities.
In almost all cases, in an MVA (Motor Vehicle Accident) EMS and Fire are both sent. For reasons like.....wash down fuel leakage, extraction, lifting assistance., etc.
In a shooting........everybody goes, including supervision (Capt., LT.).
Police, Fire, EMS all go to shootings.
In this case there was a guy in a white lab coat.
I think I can I.D. him........it’s February, new classes start in Sept. like anywhere else in Colleges or Schools. Before someone is issued their certification to be allowed to take the State (or in this case D.C.) exam and obtain their license as an EMT........they have to do so many hours in a clinical setting. Certain amount of hours in a Hospital E.R. and certain amount doing ride alongs on board an Ambulance.
They are only allowed to wear a white lab coat so people don’t mistaken them for anything other than a student.
So no do it yourself uniforms or regular street cloths.
Because it appears the unit responding to the shooting in question is a Basic Life Support unit, the lab coat guy makes sense that he’s still knocking off his clinical time.
If the unit was an Advanced Life Support truck, the lab coat guy would be wearing something different as a basic license is the beginning......there are 2 more levels. Its a long explanation......
During the run itself and if Fire stays to assist (being that this is the Capitol they were probably told to stay and assist) the Firefighters will usually help out and carry “Jump Kits” (Trauma Bags), monitors, medication box, etc.
They’re also good for holding I.V. bags LOL.
As far as uniforms......not matching or hi-vis or or not and stuff.
In many departments, mine included, although EMS is considered part of the Fire Department, our uniforms are not exactly the same.
Hi-vis is suppose to be worn and most are willing to wear them at an MVA for example, but during the winter we have heavy coats, lighter jackets underneath, police/military type sweaters, along with just thermal underwear. So depending on how felt, or my partner felt, cold or chilly or warm, we might pop out of the Ambulance looking a bit different wearing not exactly the same uniform.
Add to the uniform mystery, there are Capitol Police there, D.C. Police, Fire, EMS, a probable student........
A cornucopia of uniforms.
I wore thermal underwear, Kevlar vest, uniform shirt and brought a coat with me but only wore it on very cold days.
If my coat got exposed to blood or vomit......it would need to be decontaminated and cleaned, that means a few days without my coat. I only had one good winter coat. Shirts, I had many.
In my latter years my coat was the only uniform piece with Hi-Vis.
A shooting run I would expect a scene with blood.
The “I am a medic.” dude.........the guy that Kyle Rittenhouse shot in the arm had a “Medic” hat on.......but he was not a medic. In fact, after he was shot he began to yell and call out for a medic. I found that amusing.
So Antifa uses the Medic Bag stunt to make people think they’re there to help and not start problems or riot or loot. But in fact, based on the riots of this last summer and the footage I saw with “medics”, I learned that just because someone has a bag or hat with the Star of Life or Red Cross on it, doesn’t mean they’re a real Medic.
Ok. So that’s mostly what I got.
If I helped I’d be very happy. I enjoy talking about my days of glory.
My goal is to help y’all better understand what you’re seeing happening.
Have a great day.
Thank you for your effort, can I offer a suggestion and then ask you to reply to the topic of viewing the whole of the Spliced Wooz Video.
I feel the suggestion is that after you have repeated your EMS knowledge once then maybe point to that initial posting so ppl can review it if they need to.
When researching we look for New or different items of interest that would enhance and be added to the already discussed point in the topic stream. Yes, we at times repeat what we have already written down and for lack of a better wording it is done to try and present something to a new person or seek them to refute already reviewed information.\
Here is where it gets difficult but it i s easy to fix, just put your skill-set into your FR INFO page that you get to in settings. Then you can put that skill-set down, and when making a statement on that skill-set area just tell ppl to click your name and ready what you know and have done.
Now this is Not to be used as some others have like a hammer in so much as saying “Believe me” because I know this. You get the idea.
Review of intel.
I am talking with a few people here and TBH they pretty much go with the fact that WE PEER REVIEW our work, if it smells like crud then most will point that out and it works very very well.
You have seen our Peer Review live on this topic and now you know it is not just a cut and paste of one persons statement and everyone says it must be true, people here post Hoping their perception of and understanding of the intel they have found or worked out is going to be viewed not in a like minded fashion (we are not drones) but in such a way as to have people review its content and ideas, or supposition and conclusions and that Most will either know it is a positive effort, or it is troll rubbish, or in fact as they have the right to say “I looked into it and here are My views on it” The process of PEER REVIEW.
Hope you understand our rambling effort,
Oh I did not see you mention anything on the video, such as staged actors and such, maybe you ran out of time to get to that.
Blessings.
