Protective Gear, Self-Defense Training Needed After Numerous Attacks On Medics

Rick Hoffman, president of the local firefighters and EMS workers union, is calling for Baltimore City to pay for protective vests and self-defense training for all paramedics.

The decision stems from a number of attacks -- one being released Wednesday afternoon via video showing a naked man attacking two paramedics as they try to restock their ambulance.

"Thank god it was at a hospital," Hoffman said. "I would hate like hell to have one of my people hurt because they don't have protection that I think they need."

Id say pull the services from the problem areas. Focus on areas where they give a crap. After enough of the thugs and scum die off. Calls go down and we win on allot more fronts then just pumping more money onto a wasted effort anyway
