if you was a paramedic then you would understand the responsiblities that come with the job. The first priority is you and your parnter safety, then your patient's. where in the business to save life's not play with then over attitude issues. take the moment to bw thankful it wasn't you in the unit. heart patient's don't have time to waste. The heart dies over time until critical intervention is complete (at the hospital). I'm for sure the state would hate to find out that, the patients out come is in partly related to the officers over aggression that more than likely was allowed to go on for some time in the department. Who's responsible????

Perfect example of loosing ones cool. It is a shame that this trooper allowed this situation to get out of control and under his skin. A sad and tainted example of american law enforcement.

Not IF, but WHEN this trooper loses it again (should he keep his job at all) the OHP has to say to themselves is "well, we should have seen that coming". If the OHP doesn't severely discipline, reprimand and retrain this individual, or fire him, they are no better than the street gangs these people took an oath to protect us from. So then I ask….who will protect us from them?

. Law enforcement personnel are held to a higher standard as they should be. This troop is a black eye to every decent hard working LE officer out there. I agree the medic too made mistakes and the case is very arguable but bottom line, the medic acted initally as a professional whereas the trooper did not. If a troop will lose control in a case like this do you really want him out there with a weapon alone and unsupervised? What happens when this guy is having a bad day or when his third wife leaves him and he is out there with his personal problems on top of his mounting professional problems?

The trooper didn't hear that there was a patient on board or it "didn't register". BULL$HIT. I guess this trooper doesn't hear when another trooper shouts "gun!" on a car stop or it doesn't register when someone is trying to hide narcotics or a weapon. INEXCUSABLE. I am a retired law enforcement officer and a former paramedic. I know both sides of this story. If the OHP isn't alarmed or disturbed by what they had seen on this video then there is a grave problem beyond this trooper. Troopers are to be models of what to be, in essence grace under pressure, and the complete and total epitome of control and professionalism

Typical case of little boy with a badge. This trooper can't get over his ego insecurities and therefor he doesn't deserve to be a trooper. PRIME EXAMPLE. His ego was bruised because some lowly EMS person made a gesture at him. Grow up and get over it, discuss it later. These men are supposedly trained to maintain control in the face of anger, criticism, duress, panic, etc. HIS ACTIONS ARE COMPLETELY INEXCUSABLE AND UNPROFESSIONAL…
