Highway Patrol Chokes Ambulance Driver On Tape

Sigh... more idiotic shit from cops.

The fight happened during an emergency call when a patient waiting to be taken to the local hospital was in the back of the ambulance.

...

The video was shot by the patient's son. He says he continually asked the troopers to stop, so his mom could be taken to the hospital.

"We're like telling this dude. 'Man, my mom is in the back.' My step-dad was like 'man my wife is in the back, can we do this at the hospital,'" said Kenyada Davis.

So, a persons life or well being apparently ranks lower than HP responding to call...

Edit.
Seems I needed to buy an 'h' for the title.
 
I remember a few years back a cop arrested a fireman for closing off a scene of an accident with his truck. I think the courts even passed judgement against the cop for being an asshat. Too many powertripping idiots become cops unfortunately.
 
lol, they're coming out of the woodwork lately. Oh well, most cops are not douches, but guys like this certainly don't hurt the imagine of the badge.

yeah the cop got nailed for it. link to what happened.




in this one though the guy faught with the cops (though i have to agree with him). i thought ambulances with patiants got right of way over anything. even cops

either way it was a dumb move by the cop to stop him when h has patient. if she would have died i wonder what would have happened.
 
I would have thought the ambulance should have right of way when they have a patient in the back.

Cops look like real jackasses here. He did resist, but I don't think it should have gotten to the point where they were trying to arrest him in the first place, unless he did assault them before the camera started rolling, as the cops claim.

Looks like the cops were asshats.

The driver, though, made a big mistake by trying to shed the cop who grabbed him.

I'm surprised the cops didn't confiscate the video.

Poor journalism: "...it is all caught on videotape.". Clearly not all of it was caught on tape.
 
Officials say OHP troopers became upset after the paramedic failed to yield while the troopers were rushing to a call of their own.

so my gist of this is the ambulance was not running code with the patient in the back with a non life threating complaint and did not yield to the highway patrol who were running code and insanity ensues.

Yeah seriously, i dont see where cops think they can do that crap
 
If a cop was impeding an ambulance from taking my son or other loved one to the ER, and was in dire need of medical attention, I wouldn't think twice about using my concealed carry to put several .50AE slugs into his fat skull.

ok then yah that would make sense. if the cop was running with lights and the ambulance was not. then the ambulance should h ave given right of way.

then add that the guy faught with him yeah he deserved it.

though the cop should have waited until they dropped off the patient then busted the driver. but hopefully the cop don't get in trouble.

Well, better me than him for god damned sure. I'd trade my life in a second for his. It's a ludicrously unlikely situation anyway, I'm just saying I think most people would be angry enough to attack someone who was putting one of their family member's lives at risk by needless delays.

It still doesn't make sense as even if this happened. That call they were responding must not of been very important after all if they had time to assault the driver.

It suits the journalists slant, and it may well be all there is to it (ie. the cops could be trying to cover their asses).

well damn thats a good point also.

I can't muster much anger at teh cop though. this aint like the cop shoving the guy into the wall or the one that (linked above) arrested the firefighter.

cops have the legal authority to assalt you in the line of their duty.

again we dont know the whole story. if the patient was in urgent need of medical care the ambulance would have been running code and would not have stopped for a highway patrol trooper.

im leaning towards that the paramedics wanted to pick a fight with the cops (for whatever reason) and lost.

That sounds pretty damned unlikely, but given the lack of info, who knows.

Heh, it's easier in the brief winters we have here in Texas, that's for sure. I keep it locked up most of the time though, S&W Sigma is a lot easier CC.

 
so the cops were responding to a call, then decided to ignore it to choke out the ambulance driver?

makes sense....

Most of our ambulance runs are not code to the hospital. In that case, they should yield just like anybody else.

Ok, fair enough. It is odd, as others have pointed out, that the "emergency" the cops were responding to took a backseat to fighting with the paramedics.
