How do you know the instructor isn't discussing provider and patient safety, somewhere else in the course?
This is one example being used to teach ethics. Seems reasonable to me.
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 when instructors are teaching more than a 4 hour block on scene safety.
Needs to be a more clear cut case of abuse/excessive force.......not the fact it was a diabetic. Did you read Graham V. Connor? Or are you just wanting to debate me personally?
To clarify- The student wasn't asking anything related to the safety of the scene. His post was about "reporting police brutality".
Just as any profession, there are some in police work that should not be. But the overwhelming majority are truly genuine people just like in EMS. Some in EMS have no business in the profession but the majority are really great people.
