What kind of retard would attack an Ambo who is trying to help?

paramedics should have guns

There are far too many fucktards who do this. In fact, so many that the "news" doesn't report every instance as it is on a daily basis.

An ambo mate was used as a human rottweiler. Any sort of suspicious place or aggro from the outset and the crew would push him in first to sort the fuckers out.
It worked very effectively.

Colour me cynical, but did we not get the same sort of news/press releases last time St John had a fundraising effort?

No thats the cops moaning about drivers going 5 k over the limit.

Gutless fucking wonders thats who beats on Ambo's both the ?maybe not males and the bitches, they both do it. I say shoot them and stop us all having to pay for the rest of their nautual unproductive waste of oxygen lives.
If there was a crime that should be punishable by instant death, it's this one. Our Ambo's do thier job for Love not money and to then get beaten on, it is Just not right.

Stocks in the town centre... leave them there for a bit of public humiliation... too bad if the weather doesn't co-operate...

Issue the Ambos with tasers or stun sticks. That would make the drunken thugs think twice.

I'd bet the violent and drunken behaviour the Ambulance officers face is also the reason they're there in the first place.

How did you work that out? I can think of one medic, formerly an SAS trooper, who might have welcomed the distraction but that would be rare.

Probably not. Given the trouble the police have sometimes with using them I'd hate to think what would happen to an ambulance operator (who the drunken thug knows has no powers to arrest etc) who tried to pull one out.

[Daffyd]

Good point.

[Bassmatt]

Should just walk away and leave the fuckers to sort their injuries out themselves.

not that your cynicism makes the other thing any less valid...

pretty sure the inference would be to vest them with the authority to taze some bro.

but fuck this passive aggressive "taser" shit. give them firearms.
