Why is this...

So I am in my 12-th year in the US. When I first started living here I noticed that when someone calls 911 for an emergency, regardless of whether it is an actual emergency or not all three departments respond to the scene. That includes EMS, Police and Firefighters. I laughed at them then, and I still laugh at them to this very day and still cannot get my head around it why?

Like if I have a medical emergency, why the fuck do I need the police to respond or the firefighters? If there is a murder why the fuck would firefighters respond? If the body is dead even EMS can be more productive by staying away and just calling the medical examiner (the one actually needed in the case).

These are classical examples of wasting resources and taxpayer's money.

Only the Air Force and the National Guard do not respond lol.

These first responders are seen as some men of bravery who "risk" their lives for the public.

The reality is the majority of them are super overweight and unfit for their jobs.

Another bullshit and misconception is the Military Service. Those are also seen as some men of courage and bravery who go and destroy foreign countries fooled by vague and lame promises of the government for free college, free medical care through the VA, and these men and their families are seen as something exceptional and one of a kind when they were ordered to kill innocent citizens of other countries.

Who the fuck is threatening you? Vietnam? Iraq? Come on, give me a fucking break.
There are no Iraqi troops anywhere near the US shores and a huge pond of ocean separates these two continents but the pretext is " Oh we are fighting for our nation". Who the fuck is threatening your nation?

This is canon-fodder, not bravery.

As being a volunteer firefighter for over 30 year's yea that's right I don't get paid for crawling in a burning stucture.all 3 respond for a reason no1 police are always on the road and can get there before anyone and access the situation and inform anyone else responding.no2 how would you like to pull up to a fire and have some asshole shooting at you what are we supposed to do hose them down? No 3 the ems have to be there in case of any injuries.let me drag ur ass into a burning building and see how much fun it is.be glad you have guy's like us around.

Considering 90 per cent of calls , especially FIRE are for mere nothing and false alarms, while not impossible, I don't think anybody will be shooting at you when you respond to a fire man. I think firefighters have a very well developed fictional imagination. Total waste of resources. Do not suppose what may-be-needed, send WHAT IS NEEDED for the job. It's retarded. Let us summon the Air Force in case Japan throws bombs over the fire. If I have a stroke or heart attack send the police down the street where the guy is beating up his wife, don't fucking send them to me and send the fucking EMS ASAP. Do what is needed do not demonstrate me unnecessary "bravery".

90 percent false alarms where the hell u get those figures from we had 3 calls today not one was a false alarm.whens the last time u did anything for your community besides get on here and make stupid ass comments you need to get a job instead of being on here all day long. I'm proud to serve my community.

Dude, when I worked in the vicinity of Mercy Hospital, I had direct observation of what that fire station down there does. All fucking day long phew phew phew phew phew much fuss about nothing and bullshit. Were out and back in in 3 to 5 mins. And you call those real calls? I don't think a call would take 5 mins. And these "brave" men are paid over 60k a year. Unbelievable shit! They do not do shit.

I don't have to volunteer and serve any community. Nobody volunteers for me. I pay them taxes against my will so there you go isn't that enough?

And you clean up shit. Real shit. It’s dirty work, but someone has to do it. Congratulations.

Bam, it's always the people who couldn't make anything of their lives or do anything productive that whine on about the "system" being against them. That's why he cleans up shit. He has a job that requires the LEAST amount of responsibility in this life. I'd take a dump of the floor if I knew where he worked. Clean up my shit kumquat boy! lmfao

Much about nothing and BS? Really? Do you realize that both the firefighters, paramedics and police officers have MANDATORY training tequirements set forth by the Commonwealth of PA and also the Federal Government. I can pretty much gaurantee that these folks don't just sit around and do nothing!

Oh that's right.
