Lack of humanity as cop is fired for refusing to give medical treatment

[lyman]

Just a quick note. Job description is just that ... description. It is not all inclusive. It only serves to indicate what is expected. Service. Any public servant who cannot serve the public, whether police, fire, emergency, etc., has no reason to expect to be employed as a public servant. If this gentleman is not able to serve the public, he will doubtless be able to find employment or start a business where he will not have to deal with the general public. Sincerely. bruce.

Bruce,

sometimes I think Serve and Protect is a thing of the past

Perfectly said Bruce. Thank you.

More information on the incident was added recently and it said "According to the DPD Operations Manual, officers who come in contact with an injured person should 'provide first aid (when appropriate) to their level of training without any unreasonable delay". So that clears up the question of the manual. He should have applied first aid and by not doing so he was in violation. Always helps to get the rest of the story...
