Don’t “blame the cops” on this one.......
A lot of times, (this one included) cops - and other responders’ hands are tied by rules/restrictions and funding for equipment/training neccessary. I’m the father of two “responders”, (they’re my heroes ) and have some training myself. “Responding” without proper equipment/training means just more bodies to recover.... >PS
My ex wife’s father was a rural fire chief. A good bit of his job was scraping up remains after accidents along heavily traveled 2 lane US 12 in southern Michigan.
His worst day was when 1 of his friends flipped out and killed his ex wife, her boss, her parents and himself. He had no sooner gotten home that night when he was called to a housefire in a neighboring town where 2 adults and 7 kids had died.
