In a video of the incident, the EMT can be seen standing at the hospital check-in desk with the patient on a stretcher. The asshole cop, who is wearing a red shirt, then rushes toward the EMT, pushing her into a wall before handcuffing her and escorting her out of the hospital.
Monroe Ambulance said the EMT made the correct call in bringing the patient inside the hospital as soon as possible.
“While the incident is still under internal investigation, our review of the video footage of the event indicates the safety of both our employee and that of her patient were jeopardized by the action of the officer,” the statement said. “Our employee demonstrated sound decision making by prioritizing the care of her patient and it is the expectation of all our care providers to do the same.”
Police should get 2 weeks suspension no pay for asshole behavior like this where they are abusive and NOT enforcing a law
"why is that in the ambulance area asshole?" Exactly my thoughts!
ReplyDeleteI hope that this EMT presses charges. She has a job to do and was performing it. This police officer in effect delayed proper treatment for the patient.
