Why did they not call 911 and have an ambulance come? I know medical bills are crazy right now but speeding and driving away from cops is not the way to save some money. Why where they not on the phone with 911 while driving, would the cops not have been notified of the situation by the operator in that case?
that, and
because that’s not only against the law, but, in an emergency when you’re speeding to the hospital, you’re not always thinking clearly.
what I’d like to know if WTF the assh*le cops though thought it was so necessary to endanger everyone’s lives with a PIT maneuver over a speeding violation when they could have gotten the car’s tag and mailed the a ticket? sounds like roided out piggies going crazy with power and endangering lives just because they can. like always. #acab
I don't understand. How is calling 911 while driving illegal? Hands free and speaker phones exist.
The article says quite clearly the pit maneuver was due to the frequent vehicle and pedestrian traffic near the hospital. They where endangering others. Potentially many others.
It was at night, and there wasn't a single other car in the video snipped they showed, that I could see at least.
