So I saw his little gem today. I know a video doesn't always show the whole story, but this looks pretty bad on the officers part.
It appears the EMT/Medic (can't tell) was aiding a patient who had a +LOC and woke up uncooperative. Then the police tazed the patient, and when the EMS provider tried to explain this could be a medical emergency and intervened the officer appears to put him up against the police car and put his hand around his throat.
Kudos to the EMS dude for not losing his **** on scene. I'd be filing a lawsuit like yesteryear.
This is one I'm going to follow. Hopeful the officer is terminated. No way no how should a police officer put hands on a medic on scene unless he's saving their life. Period.
We often times are viewed as less than professionals... less than professional firemen, less than professional police officers. We're just EMTs or ambulance drivers...
Of the two men in the center of that video I only saw one professional.
Unfortunately this isn't the first time something like this has occurred between law enforcement and Fire/EMS...
