Is it me or are most of FDNY EMT/Medics miserable?

I have no problem with free-enterprise, and I'm pretty familiar with the concept. But by that logic there should be competing police services in the city too. Why should the NYPD have a monoply?

You call that "logic?"

Law is a government function. Medicine is not.

Minus 5 for an invalid analogy.

Forget it, I'm not going to get into an argument here, particularly about the American health system, which is clearly a little different up North.

And that's just off the top of my head. Hatzolah, those lovable fun bunch of guys, have been pretty much exonerated in having a role in the Crown Height's riot. It is pretty much excepted fact the Jewish occupant was removed first under the direction of NYPD for his own, and the Hatzolah crew's, safety. There members driving at breakneck speed in Crown Victorias with fire engine sirens through the streets of Manhattan, well, that still annoys people.

okay you win ..

theres also a police department for every town outside of NYC, suffok county, nassau county, and all the little towns and stuff ... hardly a monopoly ...

[HellsBells]

You know what, you guys win okay, forget the whole damn thing. I don't know why everyone has to be so darn mean.

I do however find the Jewish ambulance kind of hilarious. Do Hatzolah employees all wear side curls and use only kosher saline solutions and drugs?

You forgot the Federal Protective Service, new York State Courts, Sanitation Police, Environmental Conservation Police, New York City Fire Marshals, Postal Police, Co-Op City Police, NYC Hospital Police, just to name a few.

[Richard B the EMT]

You forgot the Federal Park Police, covering Gateway National Recreation Area units in Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island (A.K.A. Richmond) counties in NYC, Sandy Hook in NJ, as well as Liberty Island.

I am also sure we have Military Police in the active Army posts here.

By the way, we have NYC Marshals and NYC Sheriffs, but their function is more towards financial than law enforcement, as in forfeiture seizures and resales.

lol enough, i think he gets it lol
