we get occasional attacks on emergency services officers - firefighters, paramedics & police.

Normally folks involved are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, but I couldn't find anything about attacks for entertainment, tho we have had a few riots in different places at different times where drugs & alcohol probably weren't an ingredient, just the presence of police going about their legal business. Which of course is provocative to some folks.

Drugs & equipment are stolen from ambulances, too when the officers are attending to someone, and recently an ambulance was stolen & crashed by a man 6 times over the legal limit while the paramedics were attending to a patient. The patient had to be taken to hospital in another vehicle (police car???) which meant the paramedics would be operating without all their equipment, & the patient could be in danger.
