Our society is very near a zero mistake tollerance way of life. It affects cops, fire fighters, emts, medics, etc. I realize those of us who are in public service oriented jobs need to be on the top of our game, but we are all only human. It irritates me when someone is crucified simply because in their day to day stressfull judgement call filled hours, they make a decision that the rest of the public does not agree with. I am curious why an ambulance was not running to this womans aid instead of a doc in his pov....

One wonders why he was "cuffed" for a moving violation ? Sounds like we are not getting the WHOLE story. I'm not against cops..as having been an officer before, but a little common sense .. c'mon.. "pizza delivery ?" I doubt the O.B./Gyn was driving a tempo with a sign on top. I assume the doc was on the way to the hospital, and BOTH might had an attitude.

Be safe,

I've met lots of cops and it's just like any other profession, you have the good ones and you have the a holes, then you have those that fall inbetween, and the idiots, and the really smart ones that lack common sense, and the ones with common sense that are dumber than a brick, but I digress...

The only difference is the jacka$$es make the paper every week. Do something good and there's usually just a blurp in the back section, do something dumb or be an *** and it's front page.

Gotta agree with that - somehow me thinks both worked each other up.
