Cops Try to Arrest EMT for Taking Patient to Hospital

I surely do hope these police officers are reprimanded and fired for their extremely inappropriate behavior with the paramedic who was trying to rush a sick woman to the nearest Emergency Room. The video is shocking.

This isn't even a case of "mistaken identity" where a husband is rushing a pregnant wife to the hospital in a family car. This was an AMBULANCE driven by two paramedics IN UNIFORM and they had sirens and lights flashing.

So why did the cops pull them over? Because the cops now claim they were also in a hurry to get somewhere on the MULTI-lane highway and they'd flashed their lights, too, and ran their sirens, too, and the ambulance merely went to the right side of the road but did not completely pull over and stop because they were dealing with their own patient's emergency.

There was room for both vehicles to attend to their respective emergencies.

When the female patient in the ambulance begins to scream, the paramedic decides the patient is now being endangered by the cops' nonsense so he turns to attend to his screaming patient and that's when the cops throw him up against his ambulance and throttle the paramedic with a hand around his throat and they actually tell the paramedic he needs to "calm down." I didn't see the paramedic choking anyone.

When the cops finally realize they are being videotaped, the whole scene goes away and the paramedics are allowed back onto their ambulance and they continue on their way to the hospital. The patient was treated and released.

I would really like to see the follow-up story to this: do the goons get punished or not?

So... you might be wondering about now... what happened to the cops' emergency that they were rushing to since they had so much time on their hands to choke a hard-working paramedic? GOOD QUESTION.
