Massacre of firefighters in NY ignites debate over EMT, firefighter safety

We scrupulousloy reported them all, and the LE made it known they weren't playing. Anything smelling like retribution, loitering, anything was going to be dealt with. No problems. (People brought their GSW and knife lacs to our doc in the box because they thought they wouldn't be reported).

Must be nice to have that sort of police presence. I had a patient stalk me once and the cops were nowhere to be found.

I had one follow me home from the jail, 48 miles. Lost him in a subdivision.

Local sheriff dept back then was able to do stuff like that. Since our local population explosion started around 1985, with fewer officers per capita and many more former inmates and gang members with their families and associates living around here, it got worse.
