Show Me My Opponent
Manage episode 372074445 series 3496067
On a hot Texas summer day, Dallas Fire responded to a grass fire on the side of the road. Their subsequent encounter with a gentleman named Kyle Vess – all caught on surveillance camera - led to an ongoing lawsuit alleging “an abuse of power and a deliberate indifference to the life and welfare of the underprivileged in Dallas”. What is the role of paramedics when confronted with a possible suspect? Is it ever appropriate to fight a patient? Are certain policies and practices of the department contributing to a perception (or a reality) that marginalized individuals are being treated differently? Nick and Sam discuss all this and more.
