city attorney is conflating militia impersonating police with street medics “impersonating real medics” no one is confusing a street medic with a paramedic. and they are HELPING PEOPLE.
now someone from the law firm that assisted in writing these ordinances is at the podium. they’re really hung up on people impersonating medics and firefighters. THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. THIS WAS NOT AN ISSUE. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO A PROTEST? HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A STREET MEDIC?
now the fire chief is up. heather asks if he feels that they should include the language about impersonating EMS/fire personnel in the ordinance. he says yes. “there is an opportunity for confusion about what are know as ‘street medics’ or ‘protest medics.’” NO THERE ISN’T.
nikuyah: “you do not what them to be able to alert people that they could help them?” asking if he thinks street medics should have NO identifying marks. he agrees that the red tape’s fine. so what are we talking about? we’re talking in circles about something that never happened
3-2 split in favor of approving the section about prohibited items, which included the bits about impersonating a police officer or EMS/fire personnel.pic.twitter.com/sFO4P757p6
Wait am I understanding this correctly? What is this ordinance saying that street medics aren't allowed to do/have? (hello, I am a street medic and member of Boston DSA who was in Cville for A11/A12, saw your thread quote-tweeted onto my timeline)
it sounds like they are concerned with street medics being confused with actual CARS EMS personnel... which is a fake concern based on nothing and would already be against state law if it did actually happen. it’s so much handwringing to draw attention away from the militia issue
RED TAPE ON THE BACK OF A JEAN JACKET DOESN’T LOOK LIKE AN EMS UNIFORM. these people have obviously never been to a fucking protest.
I went to an, um, *event* in Berlin, and the medics carried backpacks that literally said "RIOT MEDIC" and wore high vis work pants with reflective tape. Our country is absurd.
(never know how those sporting events can turn out, can you)
