Apparently, OHP Officer Daniel Martin didn't get the Memo. Same goes for EMP Mr. White.

The choking is inexcusable. It was a "might is right" reaction to a situation. OHP are riding on adrenaline when their lights go on. They deal with what most people run from on a daily basis.

Side note: As for Nebraska coach Callahan, he has yet to live up to the dynasty that was commonplace in NU history. I saw NU play back in the day. They were great. Callahan can call OU fans hillbillies all he wants.... as he walks away with his tail between his legs and his PANTIES SPANKED CRIMSON!!

2008 result, OU wins 62-28
2006 result, OU wins 21-7
2005 result, OU wins 31-24
2004 result, OU wins 30-3

I heard the officer had a girl in the car with him (this info came from the paramedic). I think he was showing off, that's too bad!

unbelievable! good thing it wasnt any of the troopers family in the back! almost seems like a case of obstruction of an emergency vehicle, and obstruction in the medical care of a person.

you said "Everyone's whose mother is still alive has a mother who's dying. How the hell would a cop know whether the person they are pulling over has a mother who is dying or already dead, before the cop pulls them over? Is there some kind of special signal? Secret hand sign?"

Now i was a Civilian Firefighter/Paramedic for 3 1/2yrs and the answer to this is pretty simple.. For one you dont transport dead people in the box "ambulance" we work with people that still have a chance, key word ambulance not hurst.. plus when we are transporting a patient the little thing on the bumber called a lisciencs plate states (emergency vehicle) so we kinda have the right away..

also about the cop yeah there are good guys and bad guys everywhere but yet the simple fact is what kind of douch bag is going to pull over a box?? seriously!! there are no telling how many laws the cop broke that day hell right b4 the incident.. i have seen to many cops that think they are the law or above the law.. cops need to be kept in check just like everyone else.. he was out of line they way he acted.. simple.
