I don't frickin believe this, an emergency vehicle pulled over for refusing to yield in the middle of transport, for whatever reason the cops pulled them over once they saw that they had a patient in need they should have given them the go ahead without further delay.
I saw this on the news and it seemed to me at the time that the officers were way out of line. Unless this emergency vehicle did something to endanger someone's life, the policeman should be fired. Sorry, but some people are too dumb to be in jobs where thinking on your feet is a necessity. You just don't stop someone from getting to the hospital if they are being transported by an emergency vehicle. I hope the patient sues the officers personally for the trama this caused. Law enforcement should be helping emergency vehicles, not delaying them.
Holy Crap! Does anyone know how long ago this happened and what happened to the cops afterward? Anything less then their dismissal from the force is unacceptable.
As to why they flipped out - my best guess is roid rage. I believe that any and all police need to be tested regularily for anabolic steroid use. The last thing we the public need is some no necked steroid rager with a gun on the streets.
If this was in black and white and the cars were 1960s era, I would call this a FLASHBACK. Look at the anger and the fear in their faces in the video. Of course the poor woman was screaming, she lived through the civil rights movement. Who knew what was happening or going to happen next? It was only 40 years ago or so that this scene would have played out VERY differently. Remember? Stop and think. If you grew up black in America in the south, then you already know. We all know there are still unspoken rules.....Look at Katrina. This was another "temperature reading" of American Civil Rights and where we are today as a country - really. Racism and hatred die hard. The north and the south still hold grudges from the civil war - really. I am just glad this lady did not HAVE heart failure out of pure fear. How terrifying. Whew, we've made huge progress as a whole since Martin Luther King Jr. We have an amazing black President and First Family in White house, but still have a long way to go America!

WTF????? I know many police officers and this statement shows you know NOTHING about law enforcement.

I also see a lot of police officers at my gym - they have biceps the size of my thighs and no discernable neck.
Sure, they work out a lot, and their physiques could just be due to that. But for all of them? Nah, I don't buy it. Especially when you consider the cops that have been under suspicion for abuse - no neck, huge biceps and an uncontrollable temper. You tell me.
You left out a few thousand news stories about pigs abusing drugs, violating our rights, stealing and otherwise just being more aggressive then they should be. I guess you just didn't have the space.......
Hey you see the story this morning from Austin Texas where the donut connoisseur tazered that poor defenseless 72YO woman? Big bad man. I hate to see what he does to his wife and kids.

This happened the weekend before this topic (I think) and no charges were filed against anyone.
