Some of the know it alls just expect this guy to act like a machine.
No, not a machine. Just someone with sense enough not to panic. Someone with sense enough to let the emergency personnel tend to the patient when timely treatment could make the difference between life and death. It's a time when loved ones need to put off hysteria for the sake of the injured. I speak from experience.

A loving father forcing his way through a crowd to be with his critically injured daughter is hardly "hysteria." It as natural and rational. Nothing in the story indicates he was disallowing emergency personnel from doing their jobs.

He merely pushed his way through the crowd, as I and millions of other fathers would, and in so doing he touched a LEO, so he was charged.

Oh my, yes, let emts treat your (possibly) dying child, when you are a doctor trained in emergency care. That makes sense!

"Someone with sense enough to let the emergency personnel tend to the patient when timely treatment could make the difference between life and death."

He's a doctor! HE could have made the difference between life and death. Last time I checked, doctors still had more medical training than EMT's and cops.

If you were told your child was dying I really doubt you would just sit their and let him/her die among strangers.

From what he was told, that was the situation.

In addition, he had the most medical training of anyone there.

So wrong answer. You don't simply but your life or your families lives blindly in the trust of government in life and death situations.
