'I Gave George Floyd First Aid. Police Have Learned Nothing'
I have seen far too many interactions go south explicitly due to the responders' blind demand for immediate submission and acquiescence—generally the police, but at times EMS, too.
Police, Fire, and paramedics must recognize that a person experiencing altered mentation is not the same as a person refusing to follow ordersTreating emotional and behavioral crises as deliberate aggression fails the public and the fundamental concept of emergency response. An investigation—of a minor vehicle collision, a bogus twenty-dollar bill, a man walking down the street—spirals out of control. Not because the subject means to harm the police officer, but because the police officer demands compliance, and if the person does not, or cannot, immediately comply, that is seen as a challenge and a threat.
Responders are given scant information via dispatch; we must make swift inferences immediately upon arrival. Daily, the police, paramedics, and firefighters encounter civilians in conditions or crises of altered mentation. We shouldthese folks. We must be prepared for a range of people who are not going to respond coherently.
