We arrived on scene at one of the local shopping centers to find our patient ion the custody of the police. The 36 year old man had been driving erratically and was being held on suspicion of driving under the influence. After having been in custody for 20 minutes, with his hands handcuffed behind his back, and with a crowd watching from the local restaurant, this genius decided to make a break for it. I don't know where he was planning on running but he ran straight for the closed grocery store. He got about 30 feet before the cops caught up to him. Most people realize that if the fuzz is chasing you they are going to tackle you. This really sucks when your hands are not available, being cuffed, to cushion the blow of the asphalt on your face. My patient had bruising and abrasions to his face and knee. It was hard to feel bad for the guy. After checking the guy out and bandaging his wounds we sent him to the hospital. Before the patient was transported the police officer that had apprehended him told him, "You looked like an ass to the general public."Stupid people = Job security
