Wow. Stunning lack of judgment by that officer and very calm, cool and collected behavior under fire by that EMT. The state should pay dearly for his behavior. Unbelievable. The EMS provider was simply trying to get his patient to the hospital. The officer was trying to compensate for his apparently short stature and/or genitalia.

The Daily Oklahoman ran a background story on White and Martin several weeks back (newsok.com). The officer was fired by an Oklahoma small town because he was abusive and always accusing citizens of being drunk. White is going to get paid. The only reason cities who employ A-holes like Martin ever listen is if they have to pay judgments.

Different case, and played as “racism”. Me, I see it as another citizen ‘guilty’ of “contempt of cop”.

I hope Mr. White wins, and wins in a big way, one that publicly humiliates this jerk’s department. Maybe that will adjust their attitudes a bit. Kudos to White for not playing the race card here, and for keeping the spotlight where it needs to be, on the out-of-control cop.

“Mr. White therefore asked that we conduct an aggressive discovery into the past behavior of trooper Martin … and find out how he ended up an employee of the state.”

This could be very interesting.

I still have yet to hear anything from the family of the woman in the ambulance.

You think that she would be suing too.

Wow. This video amazes me each time I watch it. This officer made the entire world stop and wait so that his ego could be stroked. The woman in the ambulance, the drivers, the family following. All had to stop and put their lives on hold while Daniel Martin made sure everyone respected his authority.

This is why cops frighten me, all cops frighten me.

No immunity for Martin+preponderance of the evidence= slam dunk for Mr White IMHO.

He fought the law and…he won.
