First five UK-based examples I found via Google were three white men and two white women attacking paramedics. One used a meat cleaver. (All found with the search "attack on paramedic sentenced <random city>")

First, the UK is a special case. I’m working right now in Liverpool and it is the most dysfunctional city I’ve been to in Europe. I’ve worked in most of Europe.

Second, the nationality of the perpetrators is often masked in case it is a foreigner.

Third, a random Google search isn’t exactly representative.

Obviously native Europeans have attacked police, medics etc. But organized mobs attacking firefighters, paramedics etc is a new phenomenon.

So that's Poland and the UK that are special cases so far.

Ah, well, if we're going by nationality, I'm 6 for 6 - that last bloke with a Turkish surname was an ex-policeman, so I reckon he was probably a British national.

I think the random Google search is one up on a random internet denizen's unsourced opinion, to be honest. I kicked the tyres of your opinion with the most basic, cursory test and it came up short.

you essentially saying "trust me bro" is even less representative

To be honest I’m surprised this is still up for debate. I was hoping by now, we would be discussing solutions and not what’s going on.
