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.
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.
Yeah like, it’s not even that there’s NO job for cops in this situation it’s just that that job is; make sure there’s nothing obvious that’s going to hurt the paramedics. I can’t imagine,“man on the ground flopping like a fish and occasionally stopping to mumble incoherently” and “crying wife on the ground next to him” would flag as dangerous but their conflict deescalation classes apparently teach “everything is 2 seconds away from killing you so try to shoot it before that.”

Theres just no reason for a cop to show up when 911 is called for a medical emergency.

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

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