If I phone for an ambulance in an emergency why the hell should the

If it sounds like a serious offence has been committed , like
someone being assaulted or knocked down for example , the police are
informed as a matter of course.

Unless the person making the 999 call has said there was someone
assaulted or knocked down there should be no reason to notify the
police or fire service or coastguard or the AA. The first attendance
of a reported person collapsed in the street should be a paramedic not
a tithead.

No , but there is a good chance this could be a police matter so what's the
problem in sending an ambulance and then notifying the police?

I don;t think anyone is suggesting sendin the police instead of an
ambulance.

That is apparently what happened here if you read the report.




Surely this will deter people
from getting involved even more?

Why?

Cos people are still willing to assist others but increasingly
unwilling to have anything to do with the blairstapo since word has
got around about how easy it is to get arrested these days.

May I remind you of the recent thread where a dimwit cop gave a
diabetic a FPN in spite of the fact the person was being treated by a
paramedic who told the dimwith his patient was ill. Then there was the
two bimbocops who considered arresting the same patient in hospital
for wasting police time.

"..........An investigation has been launched into a man's death

of him lying in a street.

Quite rightly so.

More there should be an investigation into why an ambulance didn't
attend.

I assume that would be the focus.

Not by the IPCC who are doing the investigation. Unless the NHS and
999 service is now within their sphere of operations. The most they
can do is investigate the police.
