I doubt that would work according to http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Trooper-gives-6-mph-escort-to-scooter-bound-woman-lost-on-busy-highway-306704751.html article in the YouTube's description link:

"... Since the woman was unable to walk, their only option was to call for an ambulance and they'd have to strap her to a backboard to get her home, then figure out a way to get her scooter to her, Francis said. So instead, the trooper mapped out the route to her home decided to give her a police escort, riding behind her at a very slow speed with his lights on to make sure no one would hit her..."

I don't know about a mandate, but cops do protect and serve as much as possible.

Cops, every day, get between bad people and good people. Every day they help people, assist those who can't help themselves, take reports, render first aid, raise money for the destitute, listen to the lamentations of those who are aggrieved, put up with gross stupidity, etc etc etc.
every fucking day

Now's here is a much more typical police duty:

Hard to judge when you don't see what actually happened, but I enjoyed watching the "insane" man intimidate/escort the whiny skaters out of his neighborhood. Their first instinct is to, of course, whip out the phone and record the terrible injustice (pause to chuckle) being perpetrated against them.

I don't understand this video...
Is it just 20min of bikes escorting ambulance?

Nice, but I can't believe the security escorted him out in 2003!

Cute, we spent a day with elephants in Thailand, on the way there our guide/escort told us elephant males can get frustrated and throw very, very large rocks at you for fun.

Wonderfully cringe worthy. Perfectly ended. I really felt bad for the guy on the left. If I was that reporter I would get escorted out of the building quickly, right after putting on my earmuffs.

I hadn't seen your gameplay video link, thanks. I also hope with all my hope that it isn't one long escort mission. I hate that.

This is remarkably similar to the shit the NFL is pulling here in Minneapolis where we were "awarded" the Super Bowl in 2018. From the local newspaper:

"Free police escorts for team owners, and 35,000 free parking spaces. Presidential suites at no cost in high-end hotels. Free billboards across the Twin Cities. Guarantees to receive all revenue from the game’s ticket sales — even a requirement for NFL-preferred ATMs at the stadium."

The NFL's secret (secret!) list of specifications runs to 153 pages.

Fuck pro sports and everyone involved.

@lantern53
of course i do.
we all do.
but i do not condemn and THAT is a distinction your commentary is lacking.in fact,the majority of your examples are really just choices,loosely based on judgment.

i also never suggested that christians,or anybody else for that matter,applaud a womans decision to have an abortion.i merely suggested that the decision is hers and hers alone and it DOES have serious consequences that the woman will have to carry with her the rest of her life.

as for the nazi analogy...godwins law again,but might i suggest some more reading in that matter?you consistently get that history wrong.

judgment and condemnation are not the same thing my friend.though one may to lead to the other.

so while i may have disapproved of the decision those women made,i do not judge them nor condemn them.which is why i escorted them and helped protect them.

why?
because i am not them,so who am i to judge?
also,it was the christian thing to do.

i always assumed you were christian lantern,my apologies if my assumptions were incorrect and i proceeded from a false premise.

i am personally pro-life.

that being said,i do not feel i have the right to judge another for decisions they make in regards to their own body.

i have personally escorted four women to have this procedure done and though i may have disagreed with their choices,i did,however,understand them.

their decisions weighed heavily on them.they struggled with the morality and consequences and ultimately the inevitable shame/guilt/regret.

i offered to escort these women not as a way to approve of their decision but rather to protect them from the usual throngs of judgmental,rabid fundamentalist christians that congregated at the few clinics that performed this procedure.

they behaved like anything BUT christians and the shame they attempted to project on my escortee (is that even a word?) should have been directed at themselves.

the long term effects of this choice leaves deep and long lasting scars and i have never met a woman who chose this procedure lightly.

let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
judge not lest ye be judged.

who are we to judge anothers path?
by what right do we reserve such moral authority?

Yes, we get triage in the wait room in emerge. and it can be slow. but you do get served.

We have four options in Canada.
1). Have a regular GP (General Practitioner), and book regular appointments
2). Go to a drop in clinic. (still uses our medical plan, have never had to pay, and always got served in a timely matter)
3). Go directly to emergency - IF it's an emergency (some people use this service when it is not an emergency, which backs up the system)
4). Call an ambulance - (A person escorted into Emerg, bypasses the triage line and gets service priority. Don't abuse this system)

Yes, every member of my family has spent time in the hospital at one point or another. We've never been charged for anything. not for the service, the supplies, the overnights. or what ever,

No one has died, though two members of my family could have without immediate emergency surgery.

I have no real complaints over the Canadian Medical System, other than the wait times on elective surgeries. Waiting for these surgeries are inconvenient but if it's important enough, your GP will push to get you in sooner if needed. so talk to your GP about it, don't complain to your friends.

Also, I personally don't know anyone who pays money to go to the US for Medical procedures. I'd really like to see the statistics on those numbers and who these people are. Because it's not the general public.

I don't think anyone is calling them unstoppable. There is just, as you point out, an unwillingness to do so. Internally to each warlord's zone, there is the inability to do so. Across the African Union, well, the majority dislike the precedent of unseating dictators for war crimes, so they are unwilling to help. The rest of the world is sitting far away, and comfortable. Our war hawks out here refuse to go in because there is nothing in it for them. Our peacniks refuse to go in because war is bad, end of conversation.

The sad truth is there are very few people in the world who both care about the plight of such people AND are willing to endorse intervention.

Look no further than Somalia. The world powers decide to use military escorts to distribute aid to the country fairly. A few US marines get killed, and immediately EVERY world power pulls out and leaves things alone. To this day standard warlord manuals clearly state that in the case of UN peacekeepers or foreign intervention, shoot 2-3 of them and wait a week for them all to go home.

Stealth was dumb. During the escort mission though, I was hoping he'd grab the guys hand and drag him along, ala Ico.

I suppose for a Japan video this is redundant, but ... that was f*cking weird, man.

My first year in Thailand, I was in (the infamous) Pattaya for a short trip. Just as I was getting used to seeing 70+ year old Western men with 2-3 young attractive Thai girls on their arms, I saw an ~85ish year old Western woman with a walker, oxygen tank and lines running to her nose flanked by a total of 4 female "escorts". At the time, I thought ... wow, that is messed up.

But cuddle cafes where you can pay lots of money for the privilege of staring deeply into a stranger's eyes? Now that is messed up.
