This is from an incident that happened May 24 this year on U.S. 62 highway in Okfuskee County-OK..
An Oklahoma State trooper- running "hot" on a "stolen car report" ("backing up" county law enforcement) lost his temper after an ambulance transporting a patient failed to immediately yield to the trooper's patrol car.
You can read a much more extensive series of stories about this incident and see the actual OHP dash cam video (that state officials took forever to release to the public) on Dave Statter's STATter 911 blog.
Here is the specifics on the civil rights case that Paramedic White has filed in a federal court yesterday.
My take? I've been in and/or around emergency services for nearly 40 years and never- NEVER in all that time have I seen such unprofessionalism!
The State of Oklahoma had best SERIOUSLY review it's decision to keep this trooper on the force....
