Recently there seems to be a growing movement to defund police forces.
What sort of impact do you imagine it would have on EMS?
What sort of impact do you imagine it would have on EMS?
No seat belt tickets causing you an issue? Perhaps you enjoy missile babies laying on the roadway? Dead kids in rollovers?
Might want to rethink that stance.
Imagine being so binary in your thinking that you can't imagine a world where someone might think that a consenting adult should be able to choose whether or not to wear a seatbelt, and also not enjoy missile babies laying in the roadway.
Here's a term you should learn:
non se·qui·tur
/ˌnän ˈsekwədər/
noun
- a conclusion or statement that does not logically follow from the previous argument or statement.

Your statement, not mine. You said nothing about age. Perhaps you should review non sequiturs.
I’m hoping that when you decide to exercise that choice about not wearing a seatbelt, LE responds. I hope they ensure no bus responds to you after you go airborne. Jackbooted oppressors that we are, we would hate to stomp on your rights...or cause the taxpayers to foot the bill.
You are more than welcome.
Bell bottoms and mood rings didn't last a decade and this won't either. It does betray a certain pre-adolescent logic. Just whom are these progressives trying to help? The economically disadvantaged are the ones that will hurt by this. The affluent suburbs will do just fine.
Just a pathetic lack of self awareness. Until the message of finish high school, don't have kids until you're married and when married stay married sinks in absolutely nothing is going to change. Goes for white folk too, incidentally, but for right now, the poor working whites are still coasting on the cultural capital of 2 generations before them. That is fast running out.
There are two assumptions in place. First that the police are either being used beyond their role or that they are too expensive. The second is that some other goverment body can do those jobs cheaper or more effectively.
Having had to interact with CPS, APS, and various other social services I would argue they are far from efficient.
Examining police practices, like examining EMS practices, with the idea of making them more effective, sounds fine to me. And going back to the OP's question, perhaps EMS undertaking a voluntary review of practices before that's mandated would be a favorable development. Practical issues remain, though: Who would do these reviews? Who pays for them? What are the criteria? Would the scope be local, regional, or national? How would results be measured? Would the QA/QI loop ever be closed? What sort of oversight would be needed? Could such a process be kept free of corruption?
I see lots of opportunities for consultants who have the creds to undertake such projects -- sort of like security specialists after 9/11.
If I look into my crystal ball....What sort of impact do you imagine it would have on EMS?

What?
I think everyone else was too busy intentionally missing each other’s points to respond to this. I don’t want to put words in your mouth so maybe some clarification. Predominate communities of color need more traditional family values to fix them? That’s your answer to everything going on right now?
