I agree with joecool et al. It's great that he saved the guy, but what if he hadn't? Then the rescue team would have an even tricker situation to handle, trying to save two lives, endangering the safety of the *rescue team* even more. Besides that, there the issue that the guy ignored police orders--orders that were there for two reasons: 1. to ensure that other people's safety are not compromised, and 2. to ensure that the police are able to do their job. You say, what's the big deal if one person crosses a police line? Well then, what's the big deal if one spectator walks into the basketball court, out of the way of players, during the Big Game? It's the same thing.
Not that it matters, but I'm an EMT, and his arrest makes perfect sense to me.
