I am quoting the OP....... I am not seeing where it says he was struck in the head while restrained. I think ethics is majorly important. It is that more often than not threads like this drift waaaaay off topic and people jump on the bash another agency. In answering the OP I put an answer that...

Thanks you. And indeed Except with lifting and moving...... at least there are things like annual back test, Power Cot etc. So at least they try a little something there. With regards to violence directed at EMS....... it is still the "Dirty little secret" for sure.

Yup. It's a long article, but doesn't even scratch the surface of the complexity of the issue. 10 years ago people still made fun of the subject. Now that there is media coverage and some actual studies on the violence against EMS issue....... people don't laugh so much anymore.

Speaking from national experience on the subject....... it would be a blessing if the instructor was. I am stating the very way that topic is described in the thread is misleading. I will state that is is highly unlikely much more than lip service is given. Trust me, I give kudos where deserved...

Well...... as an LEO and EMS use of force instructor....... I think this is a RIDICULOUS scenario to offer a student. Especially when violence against EMS is such an issue. Why is the instructor not taking class time to discuss provider/patient safety as far as violence? 1) If there is any...

I wouldn't have believed it myself........ I am a believer now for sure. It is the energy more than anything for me I think. I'm still new at it and learning a lot as I go. Heck pro UFC Fighter Mac Danzig eats whole food/plant based. When they had him on "Forks over knives" I jumped up and was...

My diet is pretty clean anyway. (Although I cheat on occasion) I am actually trying to go more of a whole food/plant based diet. The studies they showed (largest ever published by multiple MD's) had strong evidence of cancer cells "turned off" by whole food plant based diet. I have put my...

That is true :)

That is fantastic! I work out every day as well...... but at 43 it is a little tougher to keep the extra weight off. Kudos for the weight loss! That's fantastic!

We found a "trick" so to speak. My wife didn't care to much for the green taste...so instead of adding the little bit of water, we use natural apple juice. using the NutriBulett it goes like this: 50% of the holder is filled with spinach then I add, fresh cucumber, almonds, cherry tomato...

The juicer (we bought a Jack Lalane one) takes just the juice and separates the pulp into a waste bin. The NutirBullet grinds everything into more of a smoothie type so there is no waste. I would imagine any really good food processor would work. These are what I have experience with and the...

So........ about a week ago I was browsing Netflix and came across a documentary called "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead". I thought I would give it a looksie. I found myself inspired so I bought a juicer. I was wasn't looking to lose weight per se. I am in great shape, but I thought the idea of...

A lot of folks "think" they know what we teach in an EVE4EMS class. But only those who have attended one really know. Here is a link to a few letters and comments. http://dt4ems.com/?page_id=134 and then on this page....... an HR Director of a hospital, a LT with a major urban FD and...

Here is a link to the article that just came out last week. http://www.emsworld.com/article/10741287/violence-against-ems-providers-what-can-we-do-about-it?fb_ref=s%3DshowShareBarUI%3Ap%3Dfacebook-like&fb_source=home_multiline

I was honored to receive this thanks to such an amazing group of folks with the AEMTA! In 1941, the Arkansas General Assembly created the Arkansas Traveler Certificate to honor out-of-state visitors, the first presentation going to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. These...

When I would frequent LEO specific forums........ they required a "vetting" process. They would actually contact your department and make sure they said who you say you are. I have had this argument before about making sure people were putting out good information. You have some members here...

Ha! Thanks for the props Jon.... But I have been away teaching at an Arkansas State Conference :) I wish I could Start a thread this good :)

Which academy did you go to? Do you remember the name of the system they taught you in the academy? Was it PPCT? The reason I ask..... Having taught for the Missouri Sheriff's Training Academy- Where I would travel and teach everything from Expandable Baton, Defensive Tactics refresher...
