Gets a little intense. Seems fucked up, just let them get to the hospital and then talk to the driver of the ambulance

Cops are retarded. If that person had died in the ambulance the county/district would be sued. Cop should lose his badge.

Cop is butt hurt. I have dealt with numerous ass hat cops, and we leave them with the sick patient cause they are making the scene unsafe. I have also dealt with ass hat cops then about a week later he wrecked is patrol bike and I picked him up, Complete attitude change.

Sad and about 90% of the time true.

i haven't ever had a traffic-related problem at work with a cop, sure they are in the way and keep us from getting to/helping the patient on nearly every call they are at but on the road the only problem i have ever had is them blowing by me and expecting me to yeild/ almost hitting me when we are enroute to a call code 3 @ the same location that really doesn't pose a traffic/public safety danger - that pissed me off.

i'd say that there is alot more going on than what the video shows and it also did not seem to be an code 3 transport. I wonder what was really happening?

^^ I read some more info on it and there are several witness statements that are conflict with the S.O. report. And the witnesses were passer-bys.

Something about this whole thing doesnt seem right.

Did I hear it wrong, or did the cop ask why they werent using red lights and siren?

The guy that got choked, got it for a good reason, he was fighting with the cops.


Everyone talking about how bad the cops were in this thread are a little premature as that video only showed half the story. I would like to see the other half.
