Not to mention, "official" law enforcement/first responders don't have the warmest feelings towards those rogue agents. I think they handled it well. Tanaka liked Magnum even trusted him to a point, but he was always a little wary of him as well, same for Page. They may be on the same side, but they have different angles.
I should have been more clear, I was never talking about calling the police, just an ambulance or medevac type thing. Thinking in particular of "Never Again" when Higgins is hit with the tranq dart and Magnum is lucky enough to get TC on the phone at his office even though it's late at night because he JUST HAPPENS to be there working with the accountant, and has him fly the chopper to Robins Nest and then fly everyone to the hospital. What if TC had been at home, miles away from the chopper? I kept thinking why not just call 911 and have a medical chopper sent FROM the hospital so you have EMTs on site with the injured person? That's the one that made me wonder if 911 might not have been active by that time.
That wouldn’t be exciting enough for the kids! I mean I wanted at least one Ferrari scene and one TC chopper scene per episode!
