FFEMT4100

Speaking of getting the information right with regards to the story, does anyone know what the local police procedures are with regards to a chase? There seems to be a lot of bashing of this particular cop. Did he follow his organization's SOP for a chase? Did he do anything any of his coworkers wouldn't do? Did he break the law within the State?

Until we know if the cop acted inappropriately or outside organizational SOP, I don't know that we can really condemn his actions.

All we know is that the whacker volly endangered himself, his family, the cop and everyone on the road. Until information on the cop's response becomes available we might want to back off on saying he should be punished or go to jail.

-be safe

The cop knew that there were kid's in the car".. . . . . . ."SOG and SOP DO NOT CONDONE THIS TYPE OF RESPONSE TO THE SITUATION". . . . . . ."

right or wrong??? there are too many varibles, the thred was refering to a pinch situation so u have to do something for the patient.I don't agree with everything that happened but in a pinch something has to be done,and if u the EMT and the medic are the only ones on the sceen trained in any sort of intervention by all means don't exceed your scope of practice no matter what the patient situation,lets get real we have a job to do. So right or wrong in a pinch u may have to bend alittle!
