After watching the movie, I searched the internet to find the disposition of the lawsuit filed by the children of one of the robbers that accused the LAPD of allowing the criminal to bleed to death without an ambulance. How outrageous! There should be a law that no criminal shall receive medical treatment before all victims are treated. Does anyone know what happened in the lawsuit? Also, if you go to the FX web site, you will see details of the body armor worn by the criminals.
How outrageous! There should be a law that no criminal shall receive medical treatment before all victims are treated.While I agree in principle, there are a few problems.
First off, the Hippocratic Oath makes no mention of the patient's status as criminal or victim.
Secondly, without a conviction (and you know how long that takes) there are no criminals there at the scene. Sure, there may be reasonable suspicion that one or more people are Bad Guys, but again without a conviction they're to be considered innocent. I'm a big fan of due process...
Yagman lost.
