Law enforcement agencies in Washington continue to face backlash for not arresting any of the pro-Hamas activists that blocked the I-5 freeway in downtown Seattle for 6 hours, trapping motorists and ambulances on Saturday with many residents pointing the finger of blame at local politicians for failing to act.
Video of the pro-Hamas activists blocking the freeway showed an ambulance with its lights on, stuck in the 6-mile backup.
The Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) log showed an “AMR (American Medical Response) incident” was “marked as late” as was the SFD response to another “active incident.” It is unclear if this is the same AMR ambulance or if the log is referencing another incident. It is also unclear what those specific incidents were.
In a statement, an AMR spokesperson told The Ari Hoffman Show on Talk Radio 570 KVI, “AMR did not experience any significant delays during the time I-5 was shut down.” However, when asked what an “insignificant” delay was, how many “insignificant” delays there were, and what the incident in question was, there was no response.
Dr. Nick Mark posted on X, “My hospital had to activate an emergency plan because ambulances were stuck and employees couldn’t get to work, but by all means be ultra considerate of the terrorist stans.”
