I stole the whole thing from Greg Ellifritz.
It’s not just the police who are being attacked by mobs, now the mobs are attacking firefighters and paramedics responding to a vehicle crash scene. How do you think that plays out long term?
In my mind, this violence has very little to do with police brutality. People are frustrated by the government’s general ineptitude. People are frustrated with the Covid lockdown. People know that we are looking at facing an economic depression in the near future. They are acting out of that frustration.
Cops and medics are just the public face of the government. The rioters will never meet the mayor or city council. They will interact with cops and firefighters. Guess who will face the brunt of the public’s pushback against the government?
What brought that post? This item of sheer idiocy.
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — First responders were “pushed and kicked” Monday night while trying to save the life of a motorcyclist, officials say.
When Virginia Beach Fire and EMS employees arrived shortly before 9 p.m., “an unruly crowd gathered and rapidly grew in size and out of control, surrounding the scene…,” according to a Virginia Beach Fire Department report.
As firefighters tried to treat the man involved in the crash, several were “pushed and kicked” the report said. The victim ultimately died from his injuries on the way to the hospital, according to Virginia Beach Police.
According to the report, some people from the crash scene followed an ambulance to the hospital and began to “jump on, kick and hit multiple EMS vehicles causing damage.”

May it be a reflection of the disgust that people have against government as Greg says or people just being assholes because they can and do not care for the life or others, this clearly is a big augmentation on the attack on society. The denial of emergency medical services will lead to unnecessary deaths which for the most part will go unpunished. Unarmed/unescorted emergency medical personnel will simply refuse to risk life and limb for a patient in a “hot area” and they would be well within their rights.
Let’s hope this does not become a popular thing among protesting idiots. But just in case, make sure you can initially treat any injury and transport the victim (including yourself) to the nearest ER.
