Or is it just one of his buddies from the OHP trying to cover his ass?
From the post: Daniel Martin, Oklahoma Highway Patrol Moron of the year
ANONYMOUS seems a bit miffed. And confused. We’ll examine his comments, and those of my dearest friend Rogue Medic in response. My comments will be italicized. You’re stupidity in bold.
First of all, you need to get an education. It is “seen” not scene. (2nd sentence)If you are going to use quotes on one “word”, you need to use it on the other “word”.
Secondly, it DOES NOT violate OHP policy to have a passenger on board.
EVEN while responding code 3? What is the purpose of this passenger? What about the dangers of responding code 3 to this passenger? Did this passenger have a waiver on file with the OHP? I bet the citizens of the Great State of Oklahoma would disagree when it is their tax dollars paying the bill because some jackass killed his passenger while driving code 3.
Also you state that the officer pulled the ambulance over because he “felt insulted“..
I can only assume you meant to put a space where the period went. Maybe my EDUCATION failed me, but I doubt it.
No, the ambulance broke the law, that is the reason. (Trooper Martin also makes ref to the hand gesture on the video)
Hmm…. improper abbreviations, no period, and bad comma usage. Oh Snap! I did it too!
As we have all been taught from an early age, you do not ever get out of your vehicle when you are stopped by the police. Maybe years ago this was the norm, but not in recent memory. If the medic would have stayed in the ambulance and let the trooper deal with the driver this would have ended very quickly. But instead the medic gets out of the ambulance and slams the door shut. He bows up and tried to take charge. He was interfering with the trooper doing his job. Once you lay hands on an officer, you are bought and paid for.
How does “bowing” fit in here. Further, are you trying to imply that you can “buy” an African American? Sounds like it. How was this trooper doing his job? What duty to the people of the state of Oklahoma was he fulfilling by holding up the transport of a patient to the hospital.
It amazes me how ignorant some are.
I’m sorry, but if you are silly enough to try and come into MY blog and school ME, try and check for simple typos. Especially when you start out by pointing out mine.
I’ll let Rogue Medic finish you off:
Anonymous part I,First of all, you need to get an education. It is “seen” not scene. (2nd sentence)
You go, girl! You educate him.
Secondly, it DOES NOT violate OHP policy to have a passenger on board.Also you state that the officer pulled the ambulance over because he “felt insulted”..No, the ambulance broke the law, that is the reason. (Trooper Martin also makes ref to the hand gesture on the video)
Oh great educator, how does the ambulance break the law? According to Daniel Martin’s lawyer, Paul Franks did not pull over more slowly than the drivers of many other vehicles seen earlier in the video. These drivers are not dealing with multiple emergency radios, a passenger up front, a patient in the back, a loud diesel engine, and a box that blocks much more of the view to the rear. According to Daniel Martin’s lawyer, giving the finger to Daniel Martin is not probable cause.
As we have all been taught from an early age, you do not ever get out of your vehicle when you are stopped by the police.
You make a statement that you seem to want to prove your opinion, then you contradict yourself.
Maybe years ago this was the norm, but not in recent memory.
Which is it? We have all been taught this, or this is only in recent memory? Or is it not in recent memory?
If the medic would have stayed in the ambulance and let the trooper deal with the driver this would have ended very quickly.
Haven’t we all been taught that when a trooper pulls over an ambulance and finds out there is a patient on board, he should act as if he is a responsible individual and tell the driver he will meet them at the hospital? If only OHP had some sort of motto that pertained to this.
Not continuing the fraudulent traffic stop would be a quick end to the delay in patient care. We have no way of knowing how long Daniel Martin might have kept everybody there. Yet you claim to read minds.
How do we know that Daniel Martin would not have kept them there for hours? Because that is what he says after he was caught.
Daniel Martin never checked on the patient. He opened the rear doors, but only to lie to the patient. He told her she would be on the way to the hospital quickly. At the same time he was arranging to delay her transport even more by arresting the only person there authorized to take care of her. I guess the educators you describe do not care about sick or injured people. What if this had been the family member of a trooper?
But instead the medic gets out of the ambulance and slams the door shut. He bows up and tried to take charge.
Excellent example of the kind of writing you were so picky about, only worse.
Send him to the slammer for being a slammer. That’s the kind of get tough on slamming language we need. The medic is in charge of patient care. Daniel Martin cannot relieve the medic of that duty, no matter how loudly he throws a tantrum. n>
He was interfering with the trooper doing his job.
The trooper was interfering with EMS personnel doing their jobs. Any sensible trooper would have taken this up at the hospital or through appropriate channels. Not Daniel Martin.
Once you lay hands on an officer, you are bought and paid for.Bought and paid for? What kind of juvenile statement is that? I guess the DA needs to be educated by a smarty pants like you. If only the DA would realize what an excellent educator is available to him.
It amazes me how ignorant some are.
Daniel Martin demonstrated profound ignorance, when he interfered with patient care. You are defending that ignorance. You should hope that you do not do something similarly stupid on camera. You criticize a minor mistake, but are guilty of many similar mistakes. You are a hypocrite.
Stop trying to give honest LEOs a bad reputation.
