    Its like they arrive at the scene without any information at all.

    They arrived their first, medical assistance still on the way. They should be to busy coordinating to make sure those can do their job efficiently when they arrive. Maybe performing first aid. They shouldn’t be looking for crimes even if they are present.

        Thats what I really don’t get. In other countries if you call an ambulance, police has nothing to do with it.

        In my country (Germany) the central emergency hotline 112, the equivalent to 911, isn’t even run by police. Fire departments are coordinating emergencies.

          Ours aren’t run by police either anymore. It’s a company with regional phone centers that alerts local police/ambulance/fire.

        Is there a way to call for an ambulance without 911? Like to ensure one ONLY gets EMS. I know you can call the local police station without 911, you should be able to get medical help without meeting armed sociopaths.

      Even without information, if your first reaction to the unknown is overwhelming violence, you belong in a mental institution
