Why the fuck were the cops even dispatched? Any dispatcher should know that cops are fucking morons. And should not be send to a medical emergency. If an ambulance is not available you send firefighters. This is almost criminal negligence on the dispatcher’s part.
In a lot of places the police show up to any EMT/Fire response they can, as a safety thing. So it is likely the police got there before the EMTs could. So, that sucks.
poor country they live in. seems that country needs external help to develop a minimum bit of civilisation. 🤷♀️
I've had a seizure in public before, fortunately around my friends. No cops, just a couple of EMT's. I guess Portland has its priorities a little more in order? They are short staffed.
Even in a perfect world, where cops actually protect and serve the people, if you're going to send cops to a medical emergency they should only be there as a helping hand to paramedics. If the paramedic tells the cops to fuck off, they should comply. Cops aren't medics, they're not trained to properly handle really any medical emergency any more than the average person who's watched greys anatomy. They have no business being there and if they are they should be the bitch boy to the actual trained professional.
