If you want to argue semantics, you're still mistaken.

A court doesn't prove if someone did something. A court decides (either a preponderence of evidence, or proof beyond reasonable doubt) that someone probably did something. If courts proved someone did something, then capital punishment would be far more tolerated.

A charge states there's enough evidence to brine someone to court to face possible punishment.

I have never ever felt the urge to hit them back.
I too have never felt the urge to hit a pt. It's certain family members of the pt at the scene I've felt the urge to hit but I kept it in check and never hit.

I'm not hardened, crusty urban medic. But I've been working in Atlantic City BLS and ALS for just about 2 years not.
"safe" scenes can, and will suddenly become unsafe. PD will not always be there when you need them.

Sometimes the best thing to disarm a situation isn't taught in the books. Old school works.

Weren't you just in FL last year, in school?
