The comments in this thread are astounding. The only thing I can think of that may be happening is that people here are so disturbed by the possibility that emergency services can fail that they have fallen into denial. "There is no need for people to help, at least without going through organized channels, because those organized channels are in control" is what I suspect they are thinking.

I saw it online after Trump was shot- "How could the top protection organization in the world fail so flagrantly? The shooter must have had inside help." Some people cannot accept that the world is less safe than it really is. It could be the cause of some of these comments in this thread but I don't know if it's the whole cause.
