Why were the cops in charge of this scene at all?
Around here the ranking medical provider would have been in charge, and the cops wouldn't have gotten involved unless they were asked to by EMS.
As a paramedic, I would be seriously pissed if a cop dragged a helpful bystander away from my patient (for all I know they have useful information that I need to know).
- rapala 13y agoThis was my first reaction as well. If a call comes in of a bicycling accident, why would the 911 dispatcher send a fire truck and multiple police squads to the scene?
- rynes 13y agoIn my city they always send both an ambulance and a fire truck when an ambulance is requested. Perhaps they think that the caller may have forgot something and they could always use the extra help.
