EMT's Attorney Responds to Trooper's Claims

[JimSolo73]

If it bothered him that much then he shouldve used proper CoC and reported it later. Stopping the Medic Like that was A) putting the patient at risk. B) VERY un-professional amonst peers. and C) made the Township/District look very bad to the people its serving. This Officer has to realize that when your running ER things happen or dont always go according to procedure but you dont get all road raged over it. Learn some anger management.

[JimSolo73]

Also I would like to note that the call he was responded to showed other officers already on scene wich tells me since he wasnt a first responder he really didnt need to be driving so aggressively. Police, Fire, and Medic's priorities are always to the public we protect. Even if the Medic driver did respond incorrectly (I seen nothing in the dash cam that warrants such aggression) its still something the Officer should've brushed off and continued with duties at hand.

[JimSolo73]

Being a volunteer firefighter, I can say right away that the officer was way out of line in this incident. First off he was driving aggresively to get around the ambulance and being very unprofessional by making that comment over comms that are publicly monitored. Clearly unsafe driving while running ER,

[TheWizardofGore]

Yeah cuz an angry little white dude speed walking and spewing profanity at a ambulance driver who clearly pulls on to the shoulder to let him pass is normal. LOL I'm white and I don't "hate" the cops but this dude is a pussy who probably got he's ass kicked one too many times. This is unprofessional and not at all the way a police officer should act. I wish this was Chicago, bet it would go down a little different lol

[eddieo64]

Im not going to respond to the video cause once again if people would listen to the police things would not get so out of hand. I am going to respond to all the police haters out there I don't know what video you are watching but you really need to stop smoking so much dope and try to be honest to yourselfs for once

[lamp9912]

@eddieo64 your on crack. the cop was clearly abusing his power. hes there to protect people not interfere with an ems saving someones life dumbass. learn the rights of the people before you think you can uphold law

[DeusKDuo]

@eddieo64 Yes because when u give in to police with power trips they will stop abusing there power. It is normal procedure for an ambulance not to use his lights and sirens with certain conditions as it can make a patients condition worsen. And the ambulance did pull to the side for the officer. It was already decided the trooper was in the wrong and he was punished for it so anyone defending should stop smoking dope. Hes been proven as the wrongful one.

[safetycertificate]

bad cops are wasting our tax

[harrisKiss]

I would love to see that big black man kicking trooper Martin's ass!

[kcochrane36]

@harrisKiss that would not happen because the pussy is hiding behind that badge and gun, let him come to my neighborhood and pull that shit, he won't need an ambulance he will need the coroner to scrape his ass up.

I really hope he gets a dishonorable discharge from what ever military branch he supposed to belongs too. as well and paying out his ass, I bet his wife had left him for a black man and thats why he did what he did.. that is strictly my opinion..

[Davaith]

nations cops are on powertrips



[jpschubbs]

Another Nazi cop. What a dick.

[ten8goa]

SOOO BEAUTIFUL WHEN A BADGE WEARING PIECE OF SHIT GETS HIS. I spent some time behind the wheel of a police car but didnt fit in so i got out. I treated people with respect and wasnt a back-stabbing piece of shit. I wasnt willing to go along to get along. I voiced my opinion too many times when i saw shit like this going on. It happens everyday but seldom is caught on tape.

[getsit1]

the cop gets a paid vacation i.e administrative leave ,five day suspension ,the emt gets arrested ....are we in  Germany in the 1940's ,wtf why this goes on ...we let it ,whats wrong with us . be ashamed, we let this keep going..how sad

[MrThugBilly]

lol, what's even funnier is, I've seen men his size (Paramedic) subdue a single police officer and calmly talk them down before. And we were all let go.

But if there was back up there, I'm sure the cop would have been singing a different tune like these idiots were. Cops are like ants, Alone they are nothing.

[Sonaris100]

I thought our police were bad here in the U.K, after seing this shit, i feel fucking disgusted. What an utter CUNT.

[jmerridew124]

@Sonaris100 Oh please, UK police actually behave somewhat appropriately. In the US their behavior is disgusting. They love nothing more than to destroy a future over a victimless crime by giving some who is, by all intents and purposes innocent, a record that will stay with them forever.

[ReverendGoob]

I hope the attorney questioned putting Martin in public when he was back from duty from Iraq and if they screened him with a psychological. PTSD is a well documented fact of war.

[heychupacabras]

Idiot cop should get fired and sued by the patient's family and the paramedic.

[mudokwon]

Department will pay him off like they will often do to allow them to downplay and minimize their behavior to the public from a one sided story. Ever notice why as time goes on you rarely hear from the other side or only hear only about the officer's "justifiable" behavior. Let it marinate in your mind.

[katosteen]

as a registered nurse i've only seen officers help with amb. runs, he should of been running hot to get around the amb. to assit in getting the patient to the hospital not holding up the emts, the officer has no disregard for the patient, he needs to be fired

[grayfox455]

The longer these types of abuses are allowed to occur the worse they will get. Watch and see. Basic human nature shows that if a behavior is allowed to be acted out it will increase in frequency and intensity and in this subject lives will eventually be lost to these police individuals who are being left to their own corrupt devices!

[grayfox455]

This excuse for a 'state trooper' as he refers to himself should not be one anymore. He was at the location of his high speed code 3 for a total of 14 seconds. Talk about a combative attitude. He starts cursing and swearing immediately. He turns off is mike will not be recorded. He is out of control and should be examined for psychological problems and removed before he costs someone their life. Oklahoma should be ashamed to have a person of such low character wearing one of their uniforms.

[sparkyrocky12131963]

he did not do anythiing wrong the stupid cop had him on a choke hold and abusing

his authority the strooper should be hanged for this

[jhenry2727]

Im an emt myself, the only wrong doing of the paramedic was jumping out the back of the ambulance with a patient onboard. That is it! As for everyhing else, that officer was COMPLETELY wrong! Lucky it wasn't my ass cause I would've brought that damn officer up on charges!

[philk02]

As an EMT, the officer was wrong. If he felt a crime was commited, he should have followed to ER and then arrested. Meanwhile, the patient was at risk over this gargage. You have good cops and you have pigs. Trooper MArtin should resign and face charges.

[ArrestAJudgeKit]

The code of silence is in effect. . . . . the coverup is going full speed ahead!

[K5Jon]

Sounds like the trooper and the paramedic should get together with Obama at the White House and "have a beer" since Obama isn't doing anything to help stop the current crisis in the gulf of Mexico except blame everyone but himself for his complete failure.

[justonemori]

The trooper was newly back from Iraq as an MP. I feel sorry for the Iraqi people that had to endure his tyranny. I feel worse for the person in the back of the amberlamps.

[justonemori]

@justonemori Oh and the Cop had his wife in the car. He was showing off to impress his bitch so he could get laid later. I hope she divorces him.

[m8s4lif]

I am all for law enforcement, but what I just witnessed was road rage with a badge. As far as I could see, the EMT was just trying to get someone safely to the hospital.

[DeeStinger1]

Git a rope. Hang his hick ass. He shouldn't be a cop. He was already a pig.

[speakntruth]

The police are completely out of control, and that dirty cop needs to be put in prison. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with reasonably resisting an UNREASONABLE arrest.

[RobertRamey89]

At least emt don't take 20 min to respond to a scene screw 85% of cops fuckin pricks

[dragonguardians]

question ??on another vid here on you tube i saw that the cop told a reporter that he may have been acting that way because he just came back from iraqu if that is true then he should not have been put back on the force and since he said that i would imagine that he knew he was in the wrong

[FloRidax305x]

They are trying to find dirt on the EMT when they should be finding dirt on that pig. He needs therapy, zoloft, and a hug.

[OrgyMister]

FIRE THIS COP

[trayectozero]

@OrgyMister True!

[GDragon9666]

morons dont get that cops have autority upon those who have commited a crime(not a statue, not a bylaw) in their sight.

its a good thing he was filmed resisting this illegal arrest....just look at the cop's version.....its close to white been a terrorist....we need to get those corrupted pieces of living shit big brothered.

[acedigitall]

ha... irish king must be that dumb cop martin. he got in trouble for beating a white guy a week later. some cops are cool, but most are losers that have issues.

[irishking1980]

This guy needs to read the Oklahoma State Statutes You do not have the right to resist arrest. The trooper couldn't even conduct a traffic stop with that fuckin ape jumping out of the back of the ambulance. I don't know where this wild west shit comes from. Sounds like this atty needs to go back to school. Every one wants to talk smack about law enforcement how about next time your wife daughter or family is being raped or trapped in a wreck or being beat or shot at call your E.M.S.

[il0vedillon]

Yeah, and when your mom or sister or wife or brother is dying from a critical medical condition, then fuck them. Call the cops.

[perdedor3571]

ok...your wife is in an ambulance on the way to the hospital...and it gets pulled over. the emt tries to get out and say hey im going to the hospital with a patient...so the cop arests the emt! that is an illegal! im guessing by ure comment ure a cop so i want u to kno. if u were to ever pull that shit on me i would beat your ass all up and down highway 62. i guarantee you would have to shoot me dead you power hungry punk ass bitch

[shidoski]

djhart25 your a victim of a retarded father and a whore mother

[Tobias8164]

Hinedike

Absolutly right

That we ppl have allowed police to have guns is olso a dumb move.

That is wrong.

[Tobias8164]

How pathetic is this media

Police is wrong in this case

One Can se and jugde by the look and racist anger from the police.

Big fuck u America

[hinedike]

That pig will get what's coming to him... if not from karma then someone that recognizes his face from all the footage... This pig is the reason we kill cops. SERVE AND PROTECT not HINDER AND ASSAULT...

[mikebe41]

We have 2 white cops holding a black mans arms as a 3rd cop is administering a death choke. If it was me i would have head budded that cop in self defence, took the cop beating, and let a jury decide if i was going to allow myself being choked to death!!!

[Rich2841]

"I have a patient in here that needs to go to the hospital, lets take her there and then you can arrest me!"

Reply, 'YOU GET BACK IN THE CAR, YOU AREN'T RUNNING AN EMERGENCY! "

The cop better study LAW and professionalisim and forget being a Paramedic! That cop is a PIG, the driver didn't see the cop car and there wasn't any danger of him passing . This cop needs to PAY

[MrAliBey]

Guns, tasers, batons, a lack of understanding of the role of Public SERVANT is... that is what this came down to. Had nothing to do with "Black" or "White", there are no "Black" or "White" people on this planet. Certain people acquire weapons & add a sick supremacist psychology to it & you get these situations. If police are arresting someone for a "Crime", so be it as long as there's an actual "Crime". If not, they like any other men or women have no RIGHT to violate anyone else's

[MTotenkopf]

first of all we can all see the black guy was just aggressive from the gecko. the police officer just show him if he gets aggresive they can so the black guy got scared at the end and stop being aggresive and start crying like a litte girl and thats what they show in video.

[perdedor3571]

i think the saying is from the get go...not the gecko..gecko is a reptile. dumb fuck.

[MTotenkopf]

@perdedor3571 who cares. STFU

[perdedor3571]

hey, fuck your mother. =] have a nice day.

[MTotenkopf]

@perdedor3571 you are too stupid to insult. lol.

[perdedor3571]

im sure.

[ccheartbroken]

"Mr." White is seen pushing a Trooper back. That is assault brotha! That is why the Trooper(s) had to use force to bring "Mr." White back down to reality. I will always support Law enforcement and the Judicial system. They are the victims of society.

[djhart25]

ALWAYS? well then you are just retarded..... end of story

the officer grabbed his arm for no reason and the man just pushed him away... thats it

[jrowe6]

did you not listen to the video. he was reasonably resisting an unreasonable arrest, using minimal force. like the officers are supposed to use.....you really dont see an anger issue here? if you think the way that officer is handling this situation is correct then you have the same mental issues he does. a man in his position should not be so violent.

[organizedc]

Mr. White is protecting his patient, that is why he jumped out of the vehicle.

[OFFICIAL1STLADY]

...let's just say it's not pretty and they sure in the hell don't need to be carrying a gun legally. I'm glad a camcorder was on the scene and I can only imagine how these officers carry out their duties when the camera is NOT rolling. Any- &-all incidents involving either cop should be immediately reviewed.

[OFFICIAL1STLADY]

There are some good cops sprinkled around but most cops are straight assholes, lie on incident reports and escalate situations when they, themselves, over-react. And an over-reaction coupled w/ a low IQ...well...

[davitodude]

Nothing even happened. Just some thick skulls butted heads.

[gottaxc]

lock up trooper martin for life sentence or put him on electric chair. We sure don't need a cops like him on the road. Abusing his power being cops. I saw sherriff cars on video not far from the place where it happen. They should responded right away and protect EMS & citizen on this abusive trooper.

[kringle02]

They are not bringing up why was the troopers wife ridding in the patrol car

[ONLY1BLAZE]

The cop stated in his report that White 'presented himself in a hostile manner.' Where was that on this video - is jumping from the back of an ambulance hostile?

[jim52970]

No doubt! that white racist POS cop gives the rest of us "white" folks a bad image. It's 2009 people, we're all the same race.... the human race!

[bazucomen79]

I hope that trooper goes to jail for abusing his authority.

[Bloodfire781]

i hope that pig martin gets his! i dont hate all cops but he is a dirty pig

[jattgod]

@Bloodfire781 pig martin is going to burn in hell

[rrhynes]

The fact the trooper has secured council tell us a lot more then any other facet of this story. He wouldn't be doing that if he didn't feel that he may have gone past the point of being a law-enforcement officer and turning into a pissed off citizen. They should have resisted arrest and I applaude them for doing so It put the shoe on the other foot, so to speak.

[ThorsBigHammer1]

After we had arrived at Prague hospital, officer 606 told my partner, Paul Franks that he had determined in his mind to escalate to pulling has service revolver and using deadly force. Again, this was all due to the mistaken idea that he (606) he had been "flipped off". I find it very disconcerting to know that a person of this temperament is allowed to patrol our streets while possessing the profound responsibility of having the use of deadly force at his disposal. EMS Maurice White Jr.

[mizzouluvr]

Paramedic White, as an EMS employee in CA, I would like to extend my support to you 100 percent ! I cannot say that I " hate " the OHP trooper, but, he was mental instability should not allow him to patrol anywhere. I do have a question though. What was your patient's reaction ?

[ThorsBigHammer1]

Each person has the right to resist an unlawful arrest. In such a case, the person attempting the arrest stands in the position of a wrongdoer and may be resisted by the use of force, as in self- defense. (State v. Mobley, 240 N.C. 476, 83 S.E. 2d 100).

[SimplyThinkDreams]

Yes you are absolutely correct. I just got done reading a bunch of annotations citing cases in which those have used force against officers trying to make an unlawful arrest.

[ThorsBigHammer1]

An illegal arrest is an assault and battery. The person so attempted to be restrained of his liberty has the same right to use force in defending himself as he would in repelling any other assault and battery. (State v. Robinson, 145 ME. 77, 72 ATL. 260).

[ThorsBigHammer1]

These principles apply as well to an officer attempting to make an arrest, who abuses his authority and transcends the bounds thereof by the use of unnecessary force and violence, as they do to a private individual who unlawfully uses such force and violence. Jones v. State, 26 Tex. App. I; Beaverts v. State, 4 Tex. App. 1 75; Skidmore v. State, 43 Tex. 93, 903.

[neuronsactivated]

I like Mr. O'Carroll. He looks like Matlock. He also doesn't look down and around and sweat and lie. Like Mr. Martin's attorney.

Stand your ground, Maurice!

[EMTstoml]

"Grant me, oh Lord, for the coming events;

Enough knowledge to cope and some plain common sense.

Be at our side on those nightly patrols;

And be merciful judging our vulnerable souls.

Make my hands steady and as sure as a rock;

when the others go down with a wound or in shock.

[EMTstoml]

Let me be close, when they bleed in the mud;

With a tourniquet handy to save precious blood.

Here in the jungle, the enemy near;

Even the corpsman can't offer much lightness and cheer.

Just help me, oh Lord, to save lives when I can;

Because even out there is merit in man.

[EMTstoml]

If It's Your will, make casualties light;

And don't let any die in the murderous night.

These are my friends I'm trying to save;

They are frightened at times, but You know they are brave.

Let me not fail when they need so much;

But to help me serve with a compassionate touch.

[EMTstoml]

Lord, I'm no hero -- my job is to heal;

And I want You to know Just how helpless I feel.

Bring us back safely to camp with dawn; For too many of us are already gone.

Lord bless my friends If that's part of your plan; And go with us tonight, when we go out again."

[commentM0NSTER]

I want Trooper Martin taken in for ASSAULT!

[commentM0NSTER]

White should consider a civil lawsuit.

[advil0069]

quit making excuses for these nazi pigs

[AssilemakaMelissa]

It is not just Oklahoma where a citizen has the right to resist appropriately to an illegal arrest by an Officer. It is everyone's right to do so...not just our right but our duty just like it is our duty to help another citizen when we witness him or her being a victim of Police brutality. If we all start doing more than atanding around drooling then we can put a stop to these attrocities.

[wasjunk]

right on

oklahoma is a wild west state....

tell me more...

where troopers can be horses ass

[shtfuk666]

jesus christ that chick is hot! thats how i like my updates!

[AbiltyToThink]

the cop was insane ,people have a duty to resist police abuse,what the cop did is give all cops a bad name ,the blue wall of silence is destroying the world !!

[SurviveFutureShock]

Mr James...

My advise to you is the same as before.

The best way for you to get yourself out of the corner you are painting yourself into is to STOP DIGGING.

Your client is guilty as sin and your are going to look more foolish by the day by retaining this client.

Do yourself a favor, drop this client before he BURIES YOU.

[wraithirteen]

sorry but if anybody puts their hands on my throat like that they will get a broke thumb!

[chunksloth]

I hope they take every cent and the shirt off of that pig's back.

[KARStarla]

I wish the EMT went to court and I was on that Jury Martin would go down and the EMT compensated, thats nuts, the EMT was more of a man then Martin could ever be, if they fired Martin he would most likely be recruited to work at Gitmo where they need men like him who enjoy torturing people

[Phoenixhunter08]

martin needs to control is anger

[EMTstoml]

sry this is the right link:

watch?v=C450HaD2mwI

[FreedomsReigning]

Interesting hit piece, from the media. His resistance was "reasonable" demonstrated by the fact that he wasn't arrested. Once the cops realized they were committing a felony by assaulting an EMT, they backed off. The cops are caught up in a system of dog psychology. Their prey didn't roll over and expose its genitals so they beat him up for it. I just wish the cops would get over this whole us vs them mentality. I respect cops that protect the people, and defend the constitution.

[EMTstoml]

Its interesting that one of the two men, (HINT: not the one doing the choking) -- has the ability to do an emergency Tracheotomy. Knows how to administer life saving aid the people with severed limbs, etc.

Can restart, a stopped heart. Can make the actions that will save the use of a patients brain, or legs.

And he's being strangulated, by some idiot, who doesn't know how to drive (ie : pass an emergency vehicle, on a completely open road)

[StompUDead1669]

actually if you look at the video the patrol car is cresting a hill with a double solid white line which means?..... you guessed it it would be unsafe to pass the oversized ambulance on that particular stretch of road. so i would think you'd see that the officer in fact does know how to drive and do so safely.... AND if the emt was in fact being strangulated he woulda passed out since the cops hand is on his neck for well over 30 seconds...

[BTSchnauzers]

Yeah teach Martin a thing about abuse of power. I would think the state would like settle out of court.

[Nickk361]

There was a mob of angry blacks surrounding the cop and screaming at him with a camera in hand.
