Muscogee Creek Nation, OKLAHOMA - A fight between first responders and the cops made national news because a witness recorded it on his cell phone camera.

Police could be heard yelling at an EMT.

"You are under arrest, you are under arrest!"

It was a jarring scene, if only for its incongruity, a highway patrolman trying to arrest an EMT. All the while there was a woman in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.

"A highway patrolman pulled my mom's ambulance over because he's mad we didn't pull over," said Kenyada Davis, who used his cell phone to capture the surreal situation sparked by an alleged insult.

"What do you mean flipping me off?" That's what a trooper supposedly said to the EMTs, but the EMTs said they did no such thing as the trooper was driving by them.

The tension culminates with a shove-fest and a hand around the throat of EMT Maurice White, who then asked the troopers who he should contact to report their assault. He said their response was, "It's not our job to receive criminal complaints against another officer."

"I can't say much," said Thomson Gouge, Muscogee Creek Nation.

"'Cause its such a hot button topic?" asked Burt Mummolo, reporter.

"It is," said Gouge.

The Muscogee Creek Nation oversees the ambulance crew and said they're waiting to see what unfolds from the DA's office. The EMT was never arrested. Meanwhile, OHP officials said the matter is under administrative investigation.

Both the EMTs are back at work. As for the woman in the ambulance, she was on the way to the hospital for heat exhaustion. She is expected to be okay.






Unfuckinbelievable first they taser a 72 year old and now they attack the very people that save lives....

Whats unbelievable is how this incident of police undeniably acting like jackasses is purposely linked to an undeniably old woman acting like a jack ass.

but carry on

That's a matter of opinion.

They interviewed the emt on tv yesterday. That cop went waaayyy over his head and abused his authority. Totally ridiculous and unnacceptable behavior by the cop. What a total jackass.

disturbing... from what i'm understanding, they pulled the ambulance over because he didn't have his lights on... wtf... stupid cops...

any reference to 72 year old women living or dead is purely coincidental

How I saw it: The bitch-ass Cop got power hungry and REALLY didn't like a brotha challenging his authority.

What tripped me out was, the cop had ALREADY gotten to the scene they were speeding to, but he THEN DECIDED TO DRIVE AND TRACK DOWN THE AMBULANCE AFTERWARDS JUST TO PULL THEM OVER TO REPRIMAND HIM/TAKE THE DRIVER TO JAIL! What kinda shit is THAT?

btw, it's pretty messed up. Glad they got it on video.

I've got to check if my cell phone can record video.

Exactly!

heybaby said:

I don't believe in coincidence.

Yah there is a another longer video that was aired from the perspective of the vehicle cam and there is much shouting and verbal abuse going on by the swines.

heybaby said:

I don't see the comparison either.

Am I not entitled to mine either?

That's a matter of opinion.

heybaby said:

Yes it is and it's my opinion. Not flaming anyone here just responding with my opinion.

PanthaGirl said:

Of course you are. Why wouldn't you be?
We've both stated our opinion.
I thought your post worked both ways that's why I used it in response.

I see u changed ur answer but I did read ur response. I wasn't linking the two deliberately, I was surprised and disgusted by the brutality of the cops caught on tape in both cases and so made mention of it.

johnart said:

Oh shit LOL soz mate I couldn't tell some posts can be a lil deceiving...

PanthaGirl said:

No prob.
I just found it funny. I can see how it might have came across as bitchy. So we can co-

Anyway, so we disagree on that one. Big woop.

PanthaGirl said:

I changed it because I got tired of the debate. btw gotcha.

Are the police allowed to use that type of choke hold against someone who they feel they need to control physically? (serious question, because I honestly do not read every state's police manuals lol)...

If not, that policeman is in some deep shit. If so, though, then the choke hold is the least of the issues on that video...because the "shovefest" that took place before the choke hold can (and will) be used as justification in the police doing so. Like it or not, if you start to physically confront or resist the police, they WILL use forceful tactics to control you.

This is in no way comparable to the taser video.
