Has that ever happened? Dispatch generally routes ambulances to avoid heavy traffic areas so I would assume that if an ambulance encounters a protest, they are not on an emergency call.
I remember outrage during BLM protests when an ambulance was blocked by protestors. It was on the way to the gas station to refuel, lol.
I think people have selective outrage depending on their views regarding the protest or march. For example, someone may be outraged by the inconvenience caused by the pro-Palestinian marches but have cheered on the "Truckers' Convoy" that shut down the DC beltway a couple of years ago. Sure, some people may hate them all but everyone should feel lucky that we live in a country where the right to peacefully protest is embedded in our Constitution. Unlike, say Saudi Arabia and we all know how the Saudi government dealt with Arab Spring protests.
Yesterday there was an ambulance with its lights on, being blocked.
They do not have the right to block traffic.
They never had the right to block traffic…
If they want the right to a peaceful protest, they need to either get a permit or stand on a sidewalk.
Essentially Holding people hostage was never their right.
Which city? Do you have a link?
It’s not a one time thing, blocking ambulances is happening…
It shouldn’t need to be a case by case basis, as an nation we should be willing to say “ blocking an ambulance is not ok”
