I can't help but think of my cop buddies how they're just people..I mean c'mon guys....think of Todd... most of you guys know HIM.....is HE the enemy?
The problem is its the assholes like these guys that make it worse for all motorcyclists because thats what the public and the cops will remember.

And then there's folks like me, who remember the bad behavior of the cops that do shit like shoot people's dogs...just the flipside of how a few bad apples can spoil the whole bunch, huh?

Little different though in that this is a hobby, albeit a passionate one for us whereas this is a guys liveleyhood.

I may be a bit more pro cop than others here but seeing the shit that goes on in the shithole community I work in I gotta side wit hthem a bit more since theres a distinct possibility they may not make it home on a given night.

Sending a cop to the morgue is never a fun thing (or anyone for that matter) and have seen it done 4 times since I graduated and most of us kinda hope the skells who did it die a long painful death.

Ever since I went to EMT school I have taken on a whole new respect for cops. As I mentioned in another thread, I have yet to see an ambulance pull up with someone doing chest compressions and that person doing them NOT be a cop. My first full cardiac arrest I asked for a cop to come in and help and that cop couldn't get into the ambulance fast enough despite we were looking at 20minutes of drive time (and 20 minutes of chest compressions sucks donkey balls).

And on top of that when a scene turns bad and we hear gunshots again, while we are in the ambulance administering to ourselves high-flow diesel (getting the fuck out), the cops are staying there and going in.

The NYPD guys dont do much of that usualy the fdny guys come in first, but they seem to have a prety good relationship with the medics out this way and are usualy super cool with us in the ER. Som eof the medics are interesting, a bunch are extremely good/smart, then theres a few who think they are, theyre the dangerous ones but it seems the othe rmedics try to reel them in. Sometimes they will let em get ripped apart by one of us to teach em a lesson

FD rarely responds to anything in Savannah. Not even to an MVC rollover I went to. I much prefer PD on scene despite it's nice having a FF who knows how to operate a BVM properly.

I also think anyone in emergency medicine has to be somewhat fucked up in the head to do it. You also get the good and the bad all over. Doctors, nurses, EMTs, etc.

I got yelled at by a doc once when I was with a patient we picked up in full cardiac arrest (my 1st night on an ambulance). Some woman came in wanting info on the patient. I said "I don't know, family is enroute". She kept asking me the guys name and I said "Look, I don't know, you are going to have to ask someone else I just know the family is enroute". The doctor said "Okay people talking, shut up now damnit".

My favorite was watching the charge nurse bitch out some 1st year resident. The attendings were rolling laughing.

Funny, going to EMT school did the exact opposite for me, it made me lose vast amounts of respect for them. Reading the stories on the news is one thing, but seeing how they operate behind the scenes made me ill to my stomach on numerous occasions.
