Yes Nikki,
You’ve proven that racism is alive and well in America.

Do some real research next time.

When police become “overly agressive,” they can ruin your life. In public perception, medics save lives. Police have the power to take lives, and do. Thus, police have an extraordinary responsibility to be extremely mindful of their actions. Sadly, many officers are not. I don’t think the public wants robocops dispensing “letter-of-the-law” instajustice. Reason and common sense seems to be sorely lacking in many law enforcement situations.

This cop needs to be kicked off the force. The majority of our cops are good people who do their job well. We cannot let the bad apples continue to give the good cops a bad image.

This trooper obviously over used his power.
This cop needs to go through his training again and still loose his gun. He obviously doesn’t have a clue.

Nikki have you even read the news reports? Which one of them mentioned “speeding”?

By the way, that is a first. Police apologists are even willing to throw EMTs under the bus. Those same EMTs that rush to the scene to save your life if something goes wrong, you label them as reckless maniacs. Shameful.

To a police apologist, a cop can do 1,000 things wrong but if the other person does just one thing wrong, it was the other person that escalated things. It’s amazing how much leeway you gives cops just because they wear a badge and a uniform, Nikki. Behavior that would be totally unacceptable to everyone else is OK if you’re a cop.

Nikki,
You have your “facts” wrong. The trooper was NOT trying to pull the ambulance over for speeding. Speed has NEVER been mentioned by ANY party in this case, INCLUDING the trooper. This was about the trooper feeling that the ambulance didn’t pull over fast enough when he was on his way to a call, THEN the trooper feeling like the driver of the ambulance disrespected him with a hand gesture. And giving hand gestures is NOT against the law.

I, too, am sick of people seeing racism when there is none (as well as I am sick of actual racism!), but to claim that “The finger is clearly being pointed because of race” is just wrong, considering that only a few uninvolved people (a very small percentage of commenters here and on the mainstream media sites) have attempted to claim racism. The parties involved in the case have NEVER tried to claim there was racism involved.

I realize that accidents have happened with EMS speeding without lights and sirens, and that is a tragedy which needs to be talked about. But you are showing a prejudice in this instance, just as those who are claiming racism. The difference is their prejudice is based on race, and your prejudice is based on an ambulance transporting a patient without lights and sirens.
