"Cysts, on the walls of her lungs. Why, we couldn't even go through Denver it's so high."
anyway, i have yet to see the video in it's entirety.
Failure to yield? I would have thought an ambulance had the right of way.
Can’t we all just get along punk?
that officer should absolutely lose his job. He is menace with uncontrollable urges that will put lives in danger.
He is a blight to the LEO community and cannot be trusted to carry out his duties with integrity.
“Officer, if your “emergency” were more important than MY emergency, you wouldn’t be standing here peeing on my shoes!”
OHP needs to fire an officer and the county needs to get a new DA. Publicly stating I’d be proud to have EMT Maurice White stand up for me. We should stand up for him.

Anger management class.Give him another chance.
The PC crowd is doing all it can to railroad the officer by using one frame of the officer holding the neck of the attendant. The media is using the cellphone video rather than the patrol car video because it is limited to the actions around the ambulance and not the whole scene. Checking the whole scene proves the officer did the right thing. But police rarely get favorable attention from the media. And this officer is on leave because his family is being threatened by brave liberals (no doubt) and he wants to be at home to provide protection.
Another example of our country is in trouble. You have to wonder what happened to "protect & serve"?
ASSISTANT: I had five Chuckles. I ate a green one, and the yellow one, and the red one is missing!
DRIVER: I don't even like Chuckles!
They won't try that with Mother, Jugs and Speed!
This was a simple traffic stop made complicated by the fact that the “manager” of the ambulance chose to get out of the vehicle and confront the officer.
I don’t care who you are... If you get out of your vehicle on a traffic stop and get in the officer’s face, you’re going to jail. Like that 72-year-old granny from the other day. The officer will control the scene, and will arrest anybody he has to to ensure that he maintains control of the scene.
That’s the officer’s job. He was doing his job. He tried to get the manager, who had nothing to do with the issue at hand, to get get back into the vehicle. That would have defused the whole situation.
Having seen the video of this incident, I have to side with the EMT and against the officer. The officer was totally out of line and seemed to be on a major power trip. The EMT was polite and compliant. He tried several times to inform the irrational officer that a patient was en route to the hospital and was first priority. When I saw the video, I commented to my husband “now THAT is racist”. The EMT was a big black man. I think the officer treated the citizen differenty than he would have treated a big white man. In my opinion, it was clear that the officer assumed the EMT was trouble because he was a black man. A true incident of racism. Most of the time claims of racism are unfounded, but this was an actual example of it. The EMT came off as kind and professional, while the officer was a big jerk.
The police officer was too quick to anger. He definitely needs to quit this job. He can’t handle the stress.
thanks for posting this thread. It’s a great one for easy identification of rabid bootlickers.
