Agreed. I guess this is what these people wanted though. They've said time and time again to get rid of the police and some have even suggested killing cops.This is heart-breaking. Part of me thinks the ambulance people should disregard orders, go in, try to help the victim. In fact, that's my instinct so I get where this guy's coming from. But at the same time this is an area with active shooting going on and they have no police protection. So the sad logic of them not going in there makes sense. Probably the police should go in there and clear people out. There shouldn't be areas of the city where the police can't go. But if that is the situation that has come about it's not on the ambulance people to jeopardize their own lives going in. Frankly, just very sad. Unfair to say they weren't going in because the victim was Black.
ISIS and Al-Qaeda would attack a location in two waves. There would be the initial strike, then a subsequent strike after first responders appeared on scene. The goal was to cripple first response and kill talented, knowledgeable individuals. When you've got people in this so-called autonomous zone claiming they want to eradicate the police, you really can't expect first responders to take any chances. Maybe if these groups that are causing chaos in the streets had a better plan and thought about the rhetoric they use, maybe this would not have had to end this way. Unfortunately they are not thinking beyond the next looted shop or beat-down on a cripple.
The first response team made the right call.
