I watched the video, and this was tragic. But the officer did what he should’ve done. He pulled over a speeding car that ran a stoplight. The driver and passenger exited the vehicle, and the driver was hysterical, so the officer called for an ambulance and then tried to keep both the passenger and driver calm.

The driver may believe she would’ve gotten him to the hospital on time. But, if they were three miles from the hospital at that point, she would’ve had to be doing 60 mph to get him there in 3 minutes, and that’s assuming there were no more stoplights. Then she would’ve had to find parking and somehow help him into the hospital. Or she would’ve had to park in the ambulance lane, run into the hospital, run up to the front desk, and ask for someone to come out and help her boyfriend into the hospital.

I’m sorry that this happened to him. But I think this young man probably would’ve been in the same position, no matter what.

Parking? You're hilarious. In a life-and-death emergency, I'm not looking for parking. LOL
