Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Ambulances are a thing
Yeah, except ambulance personnel are primarily trained to take care of wounds and injuries and not physically violent individuals. That's where police come in.
Potentially violent, and because the police are not trained health professionals it is sub optimal.
EMT are trained to stabilize and transport.
We need to stop pretending that we can take a group who's responsible for one thing, and apply them to something completely different, just because we don't want to pay to have the right kind of people. That kind of thinking is shitty boss thinking. It's like your boss trying to get the plumber to do drywall because he doesn't want to pay for both.
Don't be a shitty boss.
while they're at it the medics can tell the person to "calm down" and try "not being sad".
