EMS guy told me this story. Barricaded EDP [emotionally disturbed person] in an apartment. Standoff lasts for hours. Finally the police decide to break the door down. First cop in gets a pot of cold water thrown in his face. After they restrain the man the cop asks why he threw cold water on him?
Man, paramedics always have some of the craziest stories. They definitely don't get paid enough for what they do and have to go through, especially in bigger cities.
When a cop tells stories about the crazy things they've seen on their job, they are usually talking about something they saw over a paramedic's shoulder.
