Federal officers stalled and threatened a Portland ambulance crew taking an injured protester from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility to a hospital on Oct. 5, Willamette Week reported Monday.
American Medical Response employees made those claims in internal incident reports, Willamette Week wrote. The documents detail a heated exchange at the South Portland building, with one federal agent threatening to “shoot and arrest” one of the medics, the medic wrote in a report obtained by Willamette Week.
A representative for the union representing the ambulance crew confirmed the allegations to The Oregonian/OregonLive.
Threatening people who, in the possibly very near future, may be the only ones able to save your life? They really are clueless.
Look at it from ICE workers perspective. They want everybody who is not part of the white supremecist vision in a camp or dead and medics are actively undermining their goals.
Since this looks like a war on democracy now, I suppose that must be a war crime?!
Conditions are now so bad, the methods used are not even allowed in war.Considering USA is technically still a democracy, imagine how bad things will get when it’s not a democracy anymore, but MAGA has made USA a totalitarian country governed 100% for the rich, and traditional American freedoms are systematically taken away.
Conditions are now so bad, the methods used are not even allowed in war.
We’ve allowed the government to do way more to our citizens that the international community, including us, has agreed shouldn’t be allowed.
Tear Gas is a banned chemical weapon. There is a specific carve out in the ban allowing for domestic use. And that’s not the only one.
Tear gas is banned in war because it can be confused for more deadly gases which might lead to someone launching nerve agents or other chemicals in retaliation. It’s not really because it’s inhumane.
thought medical no matter what was always no sides and assist all sides being for health always
Unless you’re Israel in which case every Palestinian hospital is hiding Hamas in it.
No no. You must have misread that. You see right under the commandment “four legs good, two legs better”? It says “medical assist all sides deemed good”. It was a simple oversight.
Spiritually Israeli
