It's nice to see our local 1st responders working so well together. /s

In WV the firefighters run the scene. Cops assist. We had a medic get threatened with arrest by a state trooper when he interfered. And yes, firefighters can have you arrested.

Too bad there isn’t a test that could predict Ego-Inflamation.

The Fireman should immediately file FELONY KIDNAPPING charges against the CHP Thug. See OJ in Vegas

The frightening thing is the man with the gun thinks his personal judgment can overrule other first responders. This law enforcement attitude must be stopped.

He was lucky he was not killed. Cops have killed people for less.

I have a vague memory of this happening before here in so cal over positioning of fire vehicles. LEO’s want complete obedience from everyone.

I believe this is the case in most jurisdictions. I am thankful there are no interstate highways in the village where I am a first responder. Our one state highway is 45 MPH which keeps damage low to moderate in collisions.

On the other hand, the hose draggers are generally oblivious to the reality that unnecessary traffic jams will cause more accidents and more injured people. And yes, people do die in other accidents caused by traffic jams.
It isn’t just as simple as stop the world and pay no regard to the traffic problem. Both problems must be addressed, the first aid, and the freeway traffic.
But the cop should have handled that very differently. Retarded.

“We’ll try to come to an understanding of what happened,” Chula Vista fire Chief Dave Henneman said.

Let me explain it to you, Chief. There is a club, a very exclusive and powerful club. And you're not in it.

Great.

Now we have government employees jacking up other government employees.

Lawyers for both sides will be paid by....you and me.

Somebody somewhere has to get control of the nation's cops. They look more like a street gang every day.

You beat me to it. I was going to ask if any Dalmatians got shot.

At least he didn’t shoot their dalmatian. They aren’t cops anymore, they are obama’s GOON SQUAD.
