“Trooper Martin’s lawyer said he either didn’t hear the paramedic say there was a patient in the ambulance, or the information “didn’t register”.”
Wtf. A LEO trained to handle high stress situations where he makes decisions to use deadly force didn’t hear Paramedic White state it over and over? Good job… Buddy.
“Now the police dashboard version has been released, with Trooper Martin’s lawyer claiming it “vindicates a decorated war hero”.”
VINDICATES? It makes him look like a giant asshole. 4 star asshole, for that matter. I applaude Trooper Martin for his military service. I do not permit him to use his service as a get out of jail free card.
“Ultimately, Mr White was not arrested, as his county would have been left without a paramedic if he were taken off duty.”
NO. This is misleading. He wasn’t arrested because there was no valid charge. The act of arresting him would have left the county without a medic, but that was NOT the reason the district attorney advised him to not arrest. He advised him to not arrest because he realized he had already become part of a giant media disaster–which I intend to continue until Trooper Daniel “DIckhead’ Martin is removed from his position as Highway Patrolman with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
Trooper Martin has proven that he is only in this for his ego and is unable to comprehend that their are other branches of public service. Because of this, Trooper Martin will always be remembered as the jackass who threw a temper tantrum because an ambulance driver hurt his feelings.

Keep up the pressure.
Someone should start an organization against the DA and the police chief for not doing the right thing and firing him.
