I can't help but to wonder what the quality of life is like for the guy now and if it was even worth surviving. I wonder if his face is even functional after that. He's likely blind, deformed, or unable to sallow, if not all of the above. This is a frustrating situation cause someone like this should have never had access to chief knives, but the law says this is a grown man who can do what he wants.

He's either very experienced, or just built different.

Just like with all other emergency servies depending on the circumstances of the call the responders will vary. Sometimes you may only need to nurse. Sometimes like this the person has weapons so a LEO will be their to protect the nurse, bystanders and the person having issues.
