Captain has the authority to split the response if we're enroute together. Otherwise, one unit has a duty to stay. It doesn't happen often. Also, the percentage of high priority calls is fairly low. Another way to look at it is if you encounter a fire enroute a medical aid. Obviously, we stop!

Major was Neurobiology, physiology and Minor in human rights. She was pre-med but changed direction before graduation. She works in research administration currently. Davis was a great experience for her (and us!).

FTR: we cannot drive past an accident that we witness or are involved in. It falls under Duty to Act. We need to attend the incident we come across and have an additional response dispatched to the original call. I did this a handful of times in my career.

Drove an ambulance, (40,000 lb.) fire engine,and supervised drivers for 17 years. We rarely exceeded the speed limit. It isn't safe and doesn't satisfy the legal requirement of "Due Regard" that protects us from successful litigation in a collision.

My firm represents FBI Special Agent in Charge of Las Vegas Field Office Spencer Evans, a decorated 21 year veteran, who was just summarily fired by Dir #KashPatel. No due process. Fired because he followed COVID protocol instructions issued by Justice Dept back in 2021-22.

10 journalists were put in cuffs and/or violently assaulted by LAPD on Friday night.

@willbunch.bsky.social wrote his Sunday @inquirer.com column about what this means for press freedom nationally.
