Right. As opposed to the patient care they get bleeding out on the sidewalk while the cops wait for the ambulance, unsure when it will get there. Nobody is saying that a cop is a better transport than an ambulance. The choice is do nothing and wait, or take action and get to them to the hospital yourself.

I’m not disagreeing with you. I’m asking for better medical care for patients from all parties involved. The police are woefully undertrained in any sort of basic first aid. Including the use of tourniquets, many of which they carry on them but never use. And they have extras, not just ones for themselves should they need it.
