If you have been hiding under a rock up to this point, head over to STATter911 for a full update on this.
I only have one question. Why did the medic exit the ambulance right away when the dumb ass Oklahoma Highway Patrolman pulled up behind them?
Further, vengeance is a piss poor tool for LEO’s to use when deciding who to pull over. How many times does a cop have somone “fail to yield”? Does he freak out and pull every one over? How often do motorists Fail to yield to ambulances? I think we should be authorized to do the PIT manuver on vehicles that take longer than 3 seconds to yield.
An ego can be a dangerous thing.

If you read the Paramedics report, he states that there was a woman in the front with the Trooper and he thought they were being pulled over to render medical aid to her.
It has been reported that the woman in the front seat of the car was actually the Trooper's wife.
The whole thing just stinks.
Wow. I don't really know what to say other than all involved made errors and it seemed to me that the next step was to get out the ruler and see who's parts were bigger. This makes me even more thankful to have such a great working relationship with the LEO's in my area.
