Funny story (depends on your since of humor) I had a buddy who is a firefighter in a city guy shoots and kills an ambulance crew cops shoot him they call EMS the first one shows up finds out what the guy did they "quit" on the spot second ambulance crew comes they aren't told ahead the first crew tells them they "quit" third bus shows up guy is DOA all of they don't get fired or disciplined as that's the majority of the city's EMS the dudes family tries to sue the city and is going good till they post about how the only good thing the dude did is kills some EMS worked so the family can get a big payday there pro bono lawyer quits and the judge scolds the family they end up owing money to paying a lawyer and the court costs to be told a city worker is not under liability to render aid to anyone not doing there job is a matter between employer and employee

@@MrMedalice potentially other reasons why they'd cut the clothing off, but searching for possible wounds is definitely a reason. As you heard, if you watched the whole video, the perp made it to a hospital and is/was in critical condition. Cops are trained, due to liability reasons, to render aid after apprehension, even if it's pretty much a wrap for the perp. In this instance, he might've been able to just pull off the shorts, but it's not easy when the body is dead weight just laying there. But if there were knives, razor blades, needles, whatever, it's a risk to the officer to just rifle around in fabric, and in this instance, time is of the essence. Giving you the benefit of a doubt that you're not just trolling, if you live in a country where cops don't carry a sidearm, maybe you shouldn't comment on something you clearly don't understand - even if it seems completely foreign in concept to you.

I’m a certified firearms instructor and qualified as a distinguished expert with pistol with NRA in accordance with all of their specifications. It’s a hard shot to make on a stationary target. I can hit a 10” plate of steel from 150 yards and the video proof of me doing it with a Glock 30 (.45ACP Compact). It takes a lot of training for this kind of marksmanship.

Because this at the time would have most likely have been a deceased person, and as of the 18th he is a deceased person so an accurate report of the encounter must be submitted including any additional gunshot wounds.

[@kijat2127]

@@perniciousreaper4393 It’s interesting you take such a strong point of view on this. You should take some TCCC courses. They might help you have a better understanding of administering medical aid in a combat situation. Should you always wear gloves? Duh… Can you always? No. Does the skin offer a fantastic barrier for disease? Yes. Is there a risk? Lol yea…but fresh out of a gun fight that’s the least of your concerns, especially as a cop. Another thing you should consider is looking into the video, the police officer in the video is a veteran. So when he looks down at his hands to check for cuts before he goes down to administer aid that is exactly what he is doing because he was trained in that same fashion. You can take TCCC as a civilian and get similar information. I would recommend it.
