Haha, why is it meaningless? I've heard of the view counts being frozen, but not over-estimated. Do you think someone is sitting around with millions of proxies to inflate the count?Quote:

OHP refuses to release dash cam video, says it is not covered by the
open records act.
A stench is settling on the entire affair now.
Oklahoma Open Records Act
Section 24A.20 - Access to Records in Possession of Public Body or Official for Investigatory Purposes.
"Access to records which, under the Oklahoma Open Records Act, would otherwise be available for public inspection and copying, shall not be denied because a public body or public official is using or has taken possession of such records for investigatory purposes or has placed the records in a litigation or investigation file. However, a law enforcement agency may deny access to a copy of such a record in an investigative file if the record or a true and complete copy thereof is available for public inspection and copying at another public body."
Could be done with a simple botnet.Quote:

The medic is certified in the state of OK without a doubt, as well as CCP.

There is a huge difference between seeing a story or reading a post and

Intellectual dishonesty abounds in this thread.
Oklahoma seems to be a lot like Kentucky when it comes to the NREMT. We use the NREMT test and if you pass you get a patch and CERTIFICATE from the NREMT and you LICENSE from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. You only need to maintain your license and can let your certification drop if you want to. So not showing up in the NREMT database is not that big of a deal.Quote:

Trooper, EMT in shoving matchQuote:

George,
Having never had to face a similar situation, I contemplated how I would react to the same thing happening during an emergency transport of a patient, or running a fire scene with interior crews operating.
I'm not sure what I would have done, or how I would have reacted. After all, as a professional I take every aspect of my job to the nth degree. That being said, being placed in cuffs and hauled off while those I am charged to care for are still in danger is not something I would roll over for. Especially when it is clear to me that I have done nothing wrong.
So my question to you:
The Trooper is not "sorta", or "kinda", or "maybe", out of control. You stated he was "clearly." At what point do I have a right to defend myself from a clearly out of control (your words) Trooper with a gun?Quote:

You might have noted in my previous posts that I stated I only act with disrespect towards idiots. There will be no disrespect here.
First of all, let me say that I do not believe you would ever be in this situation. While the Trooper was out of control, he didn't start out that way. From all accounts, the situation escalated when the medic in the back of the bus decided that it was more important to argue with the Trooper than it was to provide patient care. The medic escalated the situation by acting like a jerk. I can tell from the way you deal with folks here that you would not react this way.
That said, ask yourself this question...how many times have you had personal dealings with a LEO whjo was "out of control"? I'm guessing none. That is because you do not act in a manner that will get you there. If this is the case, you will not have any reason to defend yourself.
In a general sense, let me say two things. First, there is no reason to bring up the gun. Every single person over the age of 3 knows that all police officers carry guns. That does not make all LEO a threat. LEO's are trained more on their weapons and the use of deadly force than any other subject. They are trained in these subjects FAR MORE than any subject a FF is trained in. Hands down.
We have discussed here before the extent to which a private citizen can "defend: themselves against an unlawful arrest. It is clear that there is no black and white answer. As I have now stated about 100 times, no one that I ever arrested thought that their arrest was lawful. Just because a person believes their imminent arrest is unlawful, does not make it so. In 99.9999999999% of the cases, the arrest is perfectly lawful.
If a person is involved in a situation in an official capacity where a LEO is out of control, my suggesiton is not to escalate it. You won't win. The smart thing is to get on the radio and begin to document what is going on. Request supervisors-yours and his-to come to the scene. Do whatever is necessary to de-escalate.
It would be a good idea not to assault the LEO-no matter how out of control he might be.
Hope this answers your questions.

I have yet to see any of them act "aggressively", forcefully, or in an agitated state unless it was warranted.
Generally speaking, when respect is given in the first place, it is given back, even with some of the sh*t-heads in the city.
The question that I have is what provoked the trooper to act in the way he did?
During the course of my career, I have never seen law enforcement go after anyone without provocation, of some sort.
Granted, the trooper should have had more restraint, as LEO's are always the target of anger, hatred, or provoking type of behavior, but that is part of the job. (and part of why I want no part of that career)
The trooper didn't take the action he did just out of the blue, something happened on the part of the EMS crew to provoke the trooper; that is a fact.
On a side note, we have two officers here who could use some positive thoughts, and prayers. About 1500 hrs local time, two MPD officers were shot in the head, in broad daylight, yesterday, while attempting to question a suspicious person. Both officers were shot before either was able to draw their weapons.

OHP says they will NOT release the dashcam video, local TV station is
appealing the decision.
OHP has a history of releasing dash cam video, yet for some reason they
won't release this one. Their response can only lead one to wonder why?
George,
Thanks for the reply. And yes, you did answer my question.
FG
It doesn't look good for them. I'll grant you that. Particularly since they surely know they'll have no choice but turn it over when the subpoena from the first civil suit arrives.Quote:

I agree with you on most everything that you post, but I also recognize that you have a chip on your shoulder here. So go ahead and bully your way through this topic, I know you will.
