I'd told the cop to go pound sand. The very first thing they teach you in EMT/ Paramedic class is scene safety. When you take your state EMT oral test its an Automatic fail if you don't say scene safe at the very start before you do anything else. When I Worked for the fire department the very first thing they trained us to to do with the truck, use it as a barrier between the scene and traffic. If you don't need to then don't block traffic but if you do not feel safe working at the scene then use the truck.
