If you see an incident occurring in front of you, you have a duty to go over an investigate, Lyons said. What bothers me in this case is it appears they didnt even go and check.”
Even that is stupid.
Yup Mam... Your dad sure looks in a bad way. Looks like he is seconds from death. You still have to call 911 before I might be able to touch him. They may send someone else though.

Sure. That’s easy. This story will either go away, if theyre exonerated, or we’ll find out more about it if not.
Firefighters are wonderful people, and some are corrupt and lazy, like in any other human community/endeavor. But this group, this Obama cheerleading media, they would love to tear down the character of firefighters and all good people in America. They hate America, as does their boss.
The day Obama at the SOTU, puts up an active MOH or Bronze Star recipient who, God bless al the wounded, does not look like a victim, but is praised for neutralizing bad guys, i’ll take it back

I had a hard time understanding how this could have happened.Public Union rules. That's how it happened.

“Youre telling me that theres no Good Samaritan Law protection for anyone where you live?”
I think “Good Samaritan Laws” protect the good-intentioned but untrained. A trained EMT might not have such protection.

Sounds like that group of fire fighters and EMT’s emigrated from the UK.

My father used to be head of Civil Defense back home, many years ago. From time to time he was responsible for sending out the volunteer firemen. He made sure to dispatch them, so that the township's insurance would cover them. I don't know what would have happened had there been a call from across the street from the fire department. I figure he'd have found some way to cover them if they went to help.

I’d rather see a parking lot about 30 miles in diameter.

Maybe. And maybe a 77 year old man dies because you followed the rules.
Tough tradeoff, huh?

NO, I would have asked them to call 911, while I went to help.

Well, yes, that was what I (sarcastic) meant. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to clarify, though.

Good Samaritan laws do not apply to EMTs.
