It is time to go Genghis Khan on these people. It is time...
So it isn’t just cops?
Anyone wearing any uniform?
We had to have known, it would only be a matter of time before EMS and firefighters became targets.
Nah. These people aren’t on drugs. People in their right minds do this all the time.
“If the scene is not safe, it is impossible for us to adequately do our job. And then when we can’t do our job … the public suffers and it is dangerous for them as well,”
...there’s the duh statement of the year.
I’m surprised they didn’t try to topple the hood ornament.
Cops in New York don’t want to accompany the coroners to pick up the bodies much less investigate the crimes. The thugs and gangs rule the streets. Urban America is alien and unlivable.
Always a risk when answering a call in a bad neighborhood. But bad neighborhoods are spreading and getting badder. Soon enough something will have to give.
No mention of race, color or creed.
"We the People" has become an impotent slogan. We keep electing pimps and whores to public office and this is what we get.
Are you listening FBI/Barr/NSA?
Basically the same behavior you’d expect in a Capetown ‘township’. That’s the level that we’ve reached now.
It has been this way for some time. I know of departments where firefighters cannot wear their uniforms on the street as they will be attacked for having not saved the town from a wildland fire. I know EMTs who have been threatened by immigrants and gang members if someone in their care dies. we had to pull back from a fire because an angry crowd grew threatening because we did not attack a fully involved mobile home but went about containing it to save other structures.
“Virginia Beach Police didn’t respond to a request for comment by deadline.”
Apparently they don’t respond to anything anymore. Might as well not fund them.
EMS, Fire, and Police should not serve these “communities”, and let them do it themselves.
Fire and EMS should avoid that area of town until it sorts itself out.
I'd like to see them prosecuted for felony murder. These lawless thugs need to be removed from society.
Reading between the lines of the story, it doesn’t sound like a BLM protest. It sounds like whatever caused this motorcycle crash, people were upset about it, and the pushing and shoving may have had to do with the people involved in the accident, not the EMS units. Note it says people followed to the hospital, and the ER had to be locked down, so it sounds like people might have wanted to get at the biker in the ER.
Just one event will have them thinking just one
