Video: Bloggers assaulted by police and paramedics



Via The Bench!

Some of you may not take this story very seriously on the other hand I'd like to think that police and paramedics have better things to do than to harass some citizens who were there to observe a situation. I should say concerned citizens concerned that paramedics didn't attend to a man down. Indeed they didn't even bother looking for the man down in question.

I'm sure someone out there will make this an issue about whether or not Tom Mannis at The Bench or Craig Gernhardt at The Broken Heart should have backed off. Still I wonder if the actions of the police and the paramedics were appropriate.

What do you think?

  1. Were the actions appropriate? Hmmm. Let's see. The paramedics ignored a man down before ascertaining his condition. One paramedic and one police officer committed assault and both attempted strong arm robbery. None of their actions were in self defense, nor for the protection of the man down. Were their actions appropriate? Are you kidding?
