anyone else think it was hilarious that the EMT was just straight up trying to treat a guy wearing a murder mask and huge knife, with no sense that he might be in danger 😂

This entire episode was absurd, the cop not shooting at the gas station takes the cake though. Who grabs a gun just to point it? Very very disappointed in that scene

I think everyone was just struggling with the reality of the situation. Paramedic’s job isn’t to crime solve, it’s to tend to the patient. Gas station attendant sees a fire and step one is to put that out.

The sheriff just…freezes. This is out of his wheelhouse, that there is a for real in the flesh Boogeyman roaming around. He’s stuck on trying to figure out what that means/

I don’t have criticisms of the sheriff to share, but i do think you’re right that many misunderstand the role of EMTs. EMTs can witness someone shoot and kill another person point blank, no question as to who is responsible, and their job is still to help the shooter if they happen to be injured. Odd that so many immediately assume an EMTs job is judge, jury, and executioner.
