Police weigh in on shooting

An Assistant Commissioner of Police is defending the actions of Police Officers who in recent times have removed victims from crime scenes. This has happened most notably when the victim was allegedly injured by Police.
The ACP with responsibility for Crime says although Protocol dictates that officers wait for medical assistance he does not believe their motives for moving victims is sinister.

@Ganstakiwi i m only guessing dat ure not from st lucia or u must be referring to some other law cause first of all police officers are not trained emt s, neither is it part of the initial training, the police is not there to save any injured man, u are mistaken as to what preservation may mean in terms of policing, it simply means that de police is there to prevent criminality against humanity, thus preserving life, but once de offence has been committed his job is to prosecute suspects......

[Ganstakiwi]

@lexxus4life Actually my friend that is the Police first mandate...the preservation of life. Police by law have a duty of care to render all necessary and appropriate life saving medical assistance to any person in need of such. If it means rushing a critically injured person 10 miles to the nearest Hospital...that is done. It is better to save a life and sleep at night than to watch a human being die when you can do something about it. That's why Police are first aid trained and some are EMTs.

[lexxus4life]

@Ganstakiwi this is not the job of de police, the police is to serve and protect, there are other institutions who wuk alongside de police to render assistance to de injured and sick and i m sure u know dat...

[lexxus4life]

@goldifoxxx1 i understand what ure saying but one must understand de law b4 u can criticize what one sees on tv, dis guy u saw yes he died and de assailant was arrested and now is remanded awaiting trial, according to de autopsy dis guy wudn t have survived even if he was aided by persons around, but had anyone interfered with him deh and not professionals assigned to do so, de outcome of justice cud have been much different and de defense wud walk out on it, so de officers acted professionally

[DarcNLuvley]

This is rediculous, shouldn't the police have first aid training so they could at least aid victims until the ambulance gets there!
