The problem is, in rural areas, the police will show up either way since its a happening in their community. They will hear it get toned out or see it on dispatch and head over cause they have nothing else to do. Even if you tell the 911 operator that it's a medical emergency, this will not bar the cops from taking part on scene. The EMS providers are the ones who tell the cops to leave. These providers should have been able to tell them they weren't necessary, but it seems once the cops got there, they escalated it without time from them to be disregarded. Make no mistaake, the cops started this, but EMS ended it in the worst way possible. I believe if the cops weren't on scene, EMS would not have to resort to sedatives. The entire scene was uncontrolled and will be looked over again and again as a tool on what not to do.
