Rescue 911 - Episode 407 - "Idaho Trooper Down"(Part 2 of 2)

[jediskunk67]

Driving a stolen car is one thing but shooting an officer that's 10 times as worse.

[JKONG55]

jeez, are idaho people this nice? if this happened in florida, 10,000 cars would pass him and not do anything about it.

[kubotaman2004]

i really wish this show was still on it was a good show

[Yayakills]

omgosh its so touching.

fuck that damn criminal he should have gotten life!

[MrRichierich1990]

god bless the trooper, and the shooter can go to hell.

[arohn2007]

It looked like it happened so fast that he didn't have time to pull his weopon.

[lauribull]

John Cook, the EMT, was not only off duty, he was out of his jurisdiction. This incident occurred just north of the Idaho/Utah border and Mr. Cook was (and still is) an EMT in Ada County (Boise) Idaho, over 250 miles away. He and his wife were caravaning with his brother and sister-in-law back to Boise from Salt Lake City, UT.

[foster88888]

[kyliecamrynlandyn]

[silkydreamgirl10]

[allgood2000]

Then see it. It's uploaded. Search for "Rescue 911 202".

[jeffrey11jeff]

guns are dangerous but not used for people only for police well people can have them but it will kill someone

[Aggiesgigem]

It's our right to have guns...It has been sence America started :PP

[1976MUSTANG]

true, its been in the Constitution forever D:which sucks D:

[mxchan]

use ur handphone to call 911!..stupid

[vickiormindyb]

If the officer's radio didn't work, maybe the EMT's headset didn't.

Maybe he forgot to put it back in the kit.

I don't think he would help the officer but intentionally forget to call 911 w/ his headphone.

[1976MUSTANG]

their radios worked, the radios just were not powerful enough to get a strong, clear signal over he mountains and to the police/EMT HQ.

[pug6666]

The emt might not had his roadio he was off duty!

[Smauges]

The police who got shoot was NOT off duty einstein!! If he was off duty why did he drive his policecar, were his uniform and gear?? And he tried too report in that he was shoot, but the radioshaddow their made it very unclear to hear!! and they didn´t have the same system ass today!!!

sorry bad english

[pug6666]

It was the emt that I was talking about!

[CloneTrooper74]

The trooper was not off duty the EMT who came to his rescue was off duty

[pug6666]

thanks!

[anamallover]

I guess the crash caused it to burn

[stopallfascism]

@

mxchan: ya sure... they had cell phones back then! We all had them back in the 80s and early 90s and all used the Intenet too, had flat screens and mobile computers etc.... i think they should have called robocop and have him fly in with a space ship. Wonder why they didn't do that?

Comment

[yoyoimhome]

Do you have any episodes where a person died?

[allgood2000]

Yes. A few are...

119- "Runaway Boxcars"

202- "Scuba Cave"

520- "Butane Huffing"

[legsbluetrain]

The one with the family from out of the US when one of the family members died in a car crash.

[allgood2000]

That was from Episode 518, it was the longest Rescue 911 segment made.  The family was from Norway.

[gregorkrause]

114# was the prequel towards this and this is the sequel.

[allgood2000]

They had a story where an officer got shot every season.

[gregorkrause]

oh ok

[GarfieldVsSnoopy]

You Posted a few of them.

[watchfulstorm]

I wonder how they found the shooter.

[WebbyOwnage]

To these people who say: "How could she cry, she was a Deputy and so was he. She must've known the dangers!" Well, Shut your mouths, you waste of space. IT is still devistating to lose a family member, danger or no danger. I'd cry if I lost my wife to a gunshot. I'm so glad he made it through, and even with these disABILITIES he still continues life. Well done mate!

[allgood2000]

As a general rule, try to take anything RogueKnight12866 says too seriously. You'll be a lot happier that way.

[RogueKnight12866]

Contrary to allgood2000, people are to take EVERYTHING I say as law and take it very seriously.

[Janobewon]

Do you know what kind of pain you are in when you get to the point that you say you just want to die? Excruciating pain. Not many people can say they know what that is really like. To want to die because the pain is unbearable.

[CloneTrooper74]

Did he continue to work for the force?

[AgentHog]

I would say no since he can't use his right arm (so he can't shoot and do something else) it would be hard to drive and he can only see 50%

[Janobewon]

I would say no because his wife says that he is a stay at home dad now :)

[elijahaliciahobbs]

He did go back to work as a police officer.. he was the rescource officer for the school district in the area.

[chellycat14]

Makes me really glad we have cell phones these days.

[cmritchie04]

Todays cell phones only transmit 1/3 of a watt, so in a place like this it would be use less if you had one of those old bag phones on VHF then it might do you some good, bag phones generally transmit 3 watts or in a place like this ham radio or any kind of radio service.

[tjthump]

yes! you're right! Before then not many people didn't caring cell phone. But now people caring cell phone

[bridgetshrader]

um, i'm pretty sure that even though she knew the risks her husband faced every day, she still had the right to cry when she found out her husband was shot. You can't really separate your emotions when something like that happens. I'm married to a cop, knowing fully what may happen to him each day, but I'd still be devestated if I lost him.

[RogueKnight12866]

The officer's wife should've realized her husband assumed this risk by wearing that badge. As she's an officer herself, a sheriff's deputy she should've known the risks better than anyone else. Risk is part of the game if you wear the uniform. So I don't see where she had license to cry like she did. She knew what she was in for marrying a cop, not to mention herself being one.

[Dunkkmd06]

Wow, God sure was looking after that man and his family. It sounded like that was a really remote area, and to have a family drive by was lucky, but then to have an off Duty EMT, was just a miracle! Then also the RV to transport him as well!

[watchfulstorm]

I'm not usually very religious, but that's what I thought too. I mean, everything he needed in just the right order. The first family came at just the right time. A few minutes more in that cruiser and he would have burned to death.

[lionattacksa]

what about suspect

[letu87]

lionattacksa, Shatner said at the end that the guy the trooper pulled over was driving a stolen vehicle and was later arrested. He was than sentenced to 40 years in prison. So the guy was caught eventually. Good thing...

[DonnyStubbs1983]

I hope he has time to think about what he did

[boojapumpkin]

my next door neighbor is a cop, and my girls are best friends with his daughter, I would do whatever I could to help them out if anything ever happened to him.

[beth985]

This video brought me to tears. I hate it when people say such awful things about police officers. They put there life on the line everyday for us, they deserve respect

[OneSkiWonder]

What was the next episode?

[allgood2000]

It's a documentary segment at a children's hospital. One patient is a boy who was injured in a bike accident, and the other was shot in the head.

[srubi74]

Murder and attempted murder should carry the same penalty in my opinion. That guy meant to kill this police officer. Why should he be rewarded with a shorter prison sentence just because these other people helped Steve and he managed to pull through? If noone had helped, Steve would have died. The guy who shot him certainly did not have anything to do with the fact that he lived. He should've gotten the same sentence that he would've gotten if Steve had died.

[bellybutton4]

40 Years Ain't That Bad.

[CloneTrooper74]

Well 40 years come on that basically could hes in jail the rest of his life. Also the death penalty I am against it and thank god for it being banned here in Massachusetts after that Sacco and Vanzetti mess. If you sentance someone to death for murdering another indiviual and several others than you are no better the killer. Also when someone is sentanced to 20, 30, and 40 years god only knows if they live long enough after all those years. Also the death penalty is known to screw minorities

[buddysgirl3]

My brother is an Idaho State Trooper and I use to live there as well. This area where Steve was is so remote. It's scary for family members of these officers---never knowing what each day holds. But, I am proud of them all. They are heros. Thank God for citizens who are willing to help in time of need.

[Dyml0s]

glad to know there are some good people in this world like the ones that saved steve.

[gloverbj1979]

I'm from Idaho and remember when this happened. That stretch of interstate (I-84 between Rupert and Tremonton) is the last place I would want to have an accident. There are very few cars, no towns, farms or anything.

[NDW85]

I have the 3rd segment from this episode about a Los Angeles Children's hospital from a 30 minute syndication show on tape.

[Unslovedaudio]

go to tvshowsondvd,com and vote o rescue 911 to come out on dvd ,rescue 911 has 434 votes

[NDW85]

Maybe Steve would still be able to work for the police department only it would have to be an office job instead of working on patrol.

[exitabc]

I'm amazed that they caught the guy!!

[porrigehater]

it goes to show you it takes a special person to do this kind of job and for their partners to live their lives never knowing if their husband or wife will come home at the end of their day

[carnette2005]

Go Blue!

[VinnyCons]

i just don't understand why they waited so long to transport him. why didn't the family just get him into the car?

[chrisz71]

well, if they're anything like my family, you wouldn't have room for another purse sized bag, much less a wounded man.

[cboneofenglewood]

Thank God there are still good people around to look out for God's Angels. Fourty years for attempted murder? That's not enough time. Especially if he gets released early.

[sugarbabygirli]

I agree. That person who shot him needs to spend his life in jail for ruining someone elses. Yeah, the Police man is still alive, but will never be like he used to be.

[btwscotch]

I think that bastard that shot and tried to leave the officer for dead should spend more then 40 years in jail.. That should be his new home for the rest of his life

[xxxViiKatexxx]

it could be worse, the crime could have been committed here in Canada, where serial killers get released after only 10 years (reference to Karla Holmolka)

[R3dn3x]

the bastard who shot him is rotting in jail till 2032 HA!

[chrisz71]

NICE!!

[ganeshkali]

40 years is nothing for what he did. He should have been executed (but very slowly and painfully). Scum need to be taken right out of the food chain.

[OneSkiWonder]

So why would you kill someone who kills someone to show that killing is wrong?

[ganeshkali]

Two reasons;

1, if the scum bag is dead, he cannot shoot anyone else.

2, Why should decent law abiding people and the cops wife, family and friends have to pay through their taxes to keep that scum bag in prison for several years.

[OneSkiWonder]

Because killing is wrong and if you kill people who kill people someone who is suicidal a good way to commit suicide would be to commit homicide first. Keeping someone locked up for life would be a much worse punishment then being put out of your misery.

[allgood2000]

I'm kind of ambivalent about the death penalty, but I can see where ganeshkali is coming from with not wanting to have his hard earned money going to support worthless criminals, and getting rid of dangerous people who have shown they are willing kill other people. I think keeping murderers off the street is more important than making their lives miserable.

[ganeshkali]

Yes. Off the streets and permanently out of the food chain.

[Mrdepressive]

Thank god there where atleast good people around to help him

[baldbrad]

God always looks out for his Law Enforcement Personnel!

[canadianscott18]

I'm amazed that they caught the guy!!
