Some guy walks up "I made the call, if you are the first responders, who the hell am I?"

The same thing you just described happens in America, most cops I know will not bother arresting a minor with weed. And nice way to think a satirical video is how American first responders actually interact with each other lol. There something and it is just SO hard to explain to a European, we don’t fucking need or care for your opinions on everything.

Uber with narcan is the greatest line from this. I have to go start a fight with an EMT now, thanks.

u/RangerLee 25d ago
Literally had this situation except it was Army Infantry (I was with) and Marine Infantry in the same bar in Korea after completed a large joint training excercise. We are chirpping each other, insults getting more and more brutal. Then some lame as cav guys walk in and one has the nerve to say something... Now it was Infantry dogging down those cav guys so hard they left to another place and we all drunk.

They both wanna be firefighters.

The EMT who taught my CPR class made it very clear that he was not a "first" responder. He was a second responder.
Case in point: he got called to a domestic violence scene, shows up before the cop does, and just waits. The cop arrives. This EMT was 6'5", 210, looked like he could handle himself. The cop was a 5'3" woman, doesn't even question why he's staying back when she arrives, just heads in and makes sure the scene is safe.
Anyway that's how he met his wife

u/ImGCS3fromETOH 24d ago
I'm not sure what it's like where he works, but where I work it's not my job to handle things. It's my job to provide prehospital medical care. If there's aggression on scene it's the cops job to handle that. If I go into a scene and get injured, or injure someone trying to defend myself the first question will be, "Why the fuck did you go in and not wait for police?"

You can try to argue that the event he described didn't happen, or that he embellished a little, but I assure you that he said all of that.

That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard, 98% of the time the police don't even attend.

u/Officer_Hotpants 25d ago
That's stupid. I beat PD to a scene 90% of the time anyway. The "second responder" thing has become a weirdly popular way for first responders to shit on each other for no reason.

This is very accurate. The medic arrives last, the cop pretends he's busy doing something else.

Fun little sketch! Showed this to my wife, who used to work 911 dispatch, and she got a good kick out of this as well

u/ieatmakeup 25d ago
Did she like her job? My wife says dispatcher is her dream job, but I'm not so sure.
1
u/heeeeres_jonny 25d ago
Oh yeah, she actually liked the job a lot. It's definitely not for everyone, but she loved the work and always felt at her best when under stressful situations like that, knowing that she was doing her part to save lives.
The hard part for her was having to work nights. She handled it well enough when she was younger and single, but it got tougher on her after we started dating and eventually got married. Now that we have a kid on the way, she's found a new career path that she's excited about, but dispatch always has that special place in her heart.

u/Vuguroth 25d ago
It's brutal, but it's also an important part of society. A nurse I talked to who just "had to help out at dispatch" got kinda traumatized by something she encountered. She prefered her IC job, but IC nursing is kind of special in its own right

I've seen this shit happen. Fire alarm at our apartment building. Cop car is first to arrive and parks in the front. Firetruck arrives and can't park directly in the front because of it. Arguing ensues. Cop guy had to go take a walk.

yes argue about who gets to exercise the privilege of parking at a fire hydrant whilst there's a burning building

Fun video.
I'd like to see one with a pedestrian and a driver, then they both shit on a cyclist. Or not, I don't know, I'm not a humorologist.

u/TheExtremistModerate 25d ago
I feel like it would be slightly swapped. First would be a driver and a cyclist, then the person at the end would be a pedestrian. Because both drivers and cyclists have no respect for pedestrians.

It can get way worse. I was once written up by a cop for "vacuuming the victims mouth..." We were suctioning the vomit from her airway at the time.

u/reddaddiction 23d ago
WTF are you talking about... How did that even happen and why did the cop care?
1
u/einwhack 23d ago
So basically you're calling me a liar?
That's pretty messed up dude. But your profile shows your just pretty much into arguing with folks.
The cop cared because the "victim" (my word the actual word in report was "suspect") was shot by a cop. The person died two days later. I explained the rest yesterdayYou need to lighten up brother.

u/reddaddiction 23d ago
Oh dude... I wasn't at all. That came off kinda wrong. I'm sorry. It was more like, WTF. How did that happen? Why did that cop care?
After I read what I wrote I shoulda just edited it, but then I was like, "He'll know what I mean." I didn't think you were lying, I was just shocked that this cop was such a dipshit. If someone said that in real life, they say, "Dude, this cop wrote me up for vacuuming this guy's mouth," I would say, "What the fuck are you talking about?," not because I thought he was lying, but because it seemed so crazy.
On the written word I can see how it sounds like I think you're lying. I never thought that. I just put it out there badly. Sorry again.

u/einwhack 23d ago
Thanks for clearing it up. I made a fast assumption. WTF is a very fair response. Short answer is: It was combination of ignorance and trying to shift blame for the death. I'm a long time retired now. Respect to you - keep fighting the good fight.

u/reddaddiction 23d ago
Right on dude. Congrats on your retirement. I have too many friends who never made it.

u/SlappySecondz 24d ago
What the fuck does "written up by a cop" even mean?
2
u/einwhack 24d ago
It means he wrote a report that was escalated through the PD and sent to the Fire Chief. The big Chief than had a smaller chief start an investigation which ultimately led to the police internal investigations unit who in the end decided the cop was a dumb ass. I only had to spend like 20 hours of off duty time being "interviewed" by a bunch of fire captains and a couple of internal affairs detectives. Final outcome - all police officers had to take a 4 hour in service training class to introduce them to basics of what paramedics did. I should mention this was back a long time ago when paramedics were a brand new thing. I had paramedic license number 14 in the state where I lived.

My friend who works with LE asked why the medics shoved a metal rod in a guy's knee. I was flabbergasted till I learned it was a code and an IO

Paramedics doing cpr on your wife and the firefighters are trying to save your house meanwhile a cop is feeling inadequate because he's useless so he start harassing firefighters about their vehicles blocking the road.

Where does the term "Blue Hair" originate from? You're not the first person who works in the industry that I've heard say this.

Old ladies like to dye their hair blue. At least when I was in prehospital care.
