Blind Trust

by John Jop (jjop159083 [at] aol.com)
In Hampton, Virginia, Medic/Firefighters are deliberately withholding and delaying care to minority patients who call 911, causing serious injury and death. I am calling for an independent investigation into these activities.

Paramedics in this country kill more people in one month than police officers have brutalized and killed in the last 10 years. They accomplish this by delaying and withholding care. These crimes go unpunished and are very rarely even noticed and extremely hard to detect. The profession has a very strong code of silence and for anyone that attempts to break it becomes an instant target for termination from a gang mentality that is impossible to overcome or combat.
Paramedics carry fatal amounts of dangerous drugs and have the power of life and death. Pay in this profession is very poor at best and the quality of personnel working in this profession is at the low end of the spectrum of life. Racist paramedics are well known to all in this profession and they continue to flourish at alarming rates and are totally undetectable by the general public.
In Hampton Virginia one medic attempted to break this code of silence after he witnessed his partner murder several minorities without any remorse. In one case 2 black males blood to death on an accident scene for over 40 minutes while 1 of the paramedics canceled much needed help and refused to assist his partner. The entire episode was captured on video tape from cameras monitoring the activity in the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. Family members have been located and they are unsure how to proceed as the state continues to slowly drag on with their investigation and refuses to address the family members questions.
For years one of the medics attempted to obtain these videos but was told they had been re-recorded over and no longer existed. After an exhausting journey through attempted cover ups of this incident there is finally an investigation into this case. The investigation has been very slow and is going into its second year. No one at the state level can answer when it will be concluded or what the time restraints are on such investigations. They have had to be pushed and constantly directed to obtain valuable evidence the city has refused to turn over. The investigators act as if they are new to such investigations but they bolster that they are experienced and have been at it 20 plus years. After making numerous calls to numerous state officials a team was sent to the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel and finally the video of this event was uncovered.
The state has refused numerous requests to view this video and have refused to comment on its validity to the charges. The accused paramedics continue to respond to 911 calls placing innocent and unknowing citizens at grave risk.
