And on top of that when a scene turns bad and we hear gunshots again, while we are in the ambulance administering to ourselves high-flow diesel (getting the fuck out), the cops are staying there and going in.

Funny, going to EMT school did the exact opposite for me, it made me lose vast amounts of respect for them. Reading the stories on the news is one thing, but seeing how they operate behind the scenes made me ill to my stomach on numerous occasions.
