Here is the full video.
Throughout the video, Maurice is interfering with the officer and he has no other option except to put him under arrest.
Also, there is another posting on You Tube where the ambulance driver "speaks out." What he does is lie to cover his own butt when he says the trooper did not use his siren, which is the first thing you hear in the dash cam video.
Haven’t all these videos been posted already in numerous other threads? If so, why another one?
The guy in the back was the supervisor in charge of the ambulance. He is the driver’s boss. It was appropriate for him to talk to the officer.
The trooper is out of line and lost his control. The trooper did not show any consideration for the patient in the rig until long after the family showed up.
You know, you’re really rather amazing. You keep making up shit that just didn’t happen.
for instance: ...”Officer tells Maurice several times to get back in the ambulance,...”
Anyone who has watched both videos can hear the abusive tone of the steroid juiced trooper using foul language from the outset. Why do you persist in misrepresenting what is evident on the tape?
Do you believe that piling on more crap is the way to bring others to your point of view? Man, you’re just as bad as the buzz-cut steroid juiced operator wannabe.
And there’s no getting around the choke hold he employed clearly visible on the phone cam.
You didnt hear the siren either I guess? Selective hearing.
Fire the officer and throw him in jail.
The paramedic was calm and collected while the trooper started swearing and yelling almost immediately.
One thing to remember, paramedics often use headsets in the ambulance to talk with the doctors at the hospital. It’s very possible the paramedic did not hear the siren while because of the headset or because he was working with the patient in the back and was screening out other sounds.
Why were the emergency lights not flashing on the ambulance ?Without lights flashing is it just out for a joyride ?
What is the state law on the lights protocol ?
Doesn’t matter, the ambulance had a patient in the back and the trooper was going to assist in another matter.
Do you have a full container of boot polish? A good cloth? ‘Cuz that’s what you’re making yourself out to be.
An officer is not always right.
Heard the siren and watched the ambulance pull over both times when it was safe to do so.
The bullshit just keeps coming from you.
Say, about that steroid use, is it true your nuts shrivel to the size of raisins? You being plugged in, so to speak, on the mores and behavior of angry buzz cut steroid using JBTs

This stuff just reinforces what I’ve always told my wife. NEVER think of LEO as your friend or helper.
Think of them as a very powerful enemy.
The ambulance was transporting a patient to the hospital. The driver did pull over for the patrol after he cleared another vehicle. The trooper was way out of line and should be fired. A quick violent temper like his a dangerous on the street.

If it actually happened (completely) like the video shows, I would terminate the officer. The one thing in question is whether the police vehicle has priority over an ambulance transporting a patient to the hospital.
1) Trooper pulls behind Ambulance
2) Car in front of ambulance pulls over
3) Ambulance passes car
4) Ambulance pulls over
5) Trooper passes ambulance
Total elapsed time.....9 seconds!
Finally...a real thought out reason to question the officers actions.
BTW...many ambulance services are just small time operations performing transfers (taking a patient usually an older person from the nursing home to the hospital and back, or someone homebound, but not the regualr 911 emergency ambulance service...big difference).I have no idea if thats the case or not but could have contributed to the officers disrespect..and it explains the lack of lihts...transfers dont require them they are non-emergency.
There is no question the trooper is full of himself.The so-called call he was on seemed to be not very
important as he never got out of his car.
However he did say "you weren’t running HOT".
I assume he meant that the ambulance did not have its lights flashing.
That may have some legal meaning.
They’re both at fault. The paramedic shouldn’t have gotten out of the vehicle and should have complied when the cop told him to get back in.
The cop could have done a better job at keeping his cool.
