From what I see here, I’m glad I didn’t make it a career.

OK, I was not trying to "bash the police" and I typically go out of my way to not bash them.

my point was that the dispatcher said that everyone is automatically sent. I said that there is no need for everyone to automatically be sent to every call. I also said that everywhere I've lived, the police were not the first to arrive. that's not bashing, that's fact. I'm sorry if you aren't happy with that. Typically Fire is staged throughout various points in neighborhoods, it's so that they have shorter response times, I've seen this happen, maybe you've seen it otherwise, that's fine, too. My response was based on my experiences.

Uuh

A man had gone into the bathroom of his restaurant, Red & Black Cafe, and overdosed on heroin.

Isn't the use of illegal drugs the prevue of the police?

Uhh, you deal with the emergency first, then the crime....what, are they going to arrest the dead body?

Oh, and for those who said the police get there first....that has never happened anywhere I lived, sorry, never occurred to me it might.
