When you hire NARCISSISTS. So why HASN’T THE MAYOR SEEN THE VIDEO would’ve been my next question. Is this not pressing? Your officer unhinged over his OWN wrong doing. Why is this video not PRESSING for you to take out 45seconds of your time to view it?
Disgusting! Arresting an EMT cause she bumped your little cruiser. Poor baby!
Well people this goes to show LEO’s act and do what they want, why because they feel they’re above the law. NO MORE protection for these criminals in a uniform, break the law go to jail like anyone else.
Women of Brewster Place. I recommend this movie 🍿
That’s the type of cop who will follow and threaten you when you just look at him the wrong way. Egomaniacs should never be cops. Protest to kick him out of the force
What exactly made him at that way? What’s his motivation…
1312
Why are the police officers across the USA continue to act like 10 year-olds and over reach whit their police authoritie wen something doesn’t go their way.
He’ll die of cancer at 58
Now we mental issue cops wow!! America gone wild
END QUALIFIED IMMUNITY!!!!!
EMT’s save lives.
Cops do not.
There’s no doubt that the cop intentionally hurt the EMT by twisting her arms. They all use brutality to get a reaction then yell stop resisting, it’s rehearsed for effect!
This doesn’t surprise me, it’s the culture of these ego driven cops.
This is for the first responder. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💜😉
Ahhh. The dreaded paid vacation. That’ll teach em.
Every time you check their privilege they lose it
Fire, charge, strip them of their pensions & arrest them!! Bad cops need to be taken off the streets!! 😠
End Qualified Immunity!
He’s a trump supporter
EMT’s should pay them back the next time a cop gets shot and they call EMT’s
Why though?
The police officer obviously did this because the emt is black, need i say more? I bet the cop is a Donald Trump supporter to and was in the Capitol on jan 6 2021
Wow talk about a complicated situation. It strikes me that people can become less aware of the social contract. great work everyone
What was the pig’s excuse this time?
Cops earning the hatred.
SUSPENDED!?
Mayor seems ineffective. The first thing he should have done was watch the video, then talked to the EMT, then conferred with his police chief.
They know are protected for qualified immunity that why they do what ever they want too

Are you kidding me? Am I supposed to know the background of this story? What happened? Why was the EMT there? Why was the cop there? What happened? More half a$$ed reporting.
Easy easy have your emotions gotten the best of you that small body mass weaker vessel you’re the stronger vessel weak link my goodness police brutalitizing the young lady my God
I have said this many times, police do not care about human lives. They cannot be trusted.
Cops are out of control.
His assistant is on point!!!
Maybe when this “defective” police officer is laying drying on the street , maybe EMTs won’t help in his moment of need. What comes around goes around. Check his social media maybe he took part in the 1/6 coup.
He is at least 100 more pounds. Because he broke the rules. He should quit ” serving” the people by beating up on black people for fun.
Jajajaa the mayor has bigger problems common…
WTF?
So why did he arrest her? I need more info. What was she saying? Was she endangering a patient? Was it just for no reason?
They need to star punish all cop hard and when people sue the police that money need to be paid back to the city from the police union they are corrupt too
Why was any of this force necessary. Did you see any resistance. First of all what authorized him to arrest her. A ding to the door when he was unlawfully parked obstructing her work.
Fire the Pig
Shady Mayor.
Shady Spokeswoman by his side, trying to keep the reporter from even ASKING questions.
_How to ruin a City: elect people like that._
We gonna handle it in other words white racist cop is going on paid vacation.
If the story is legit and this cop parked his car in the Ambulance Bay, then WTF is the cop parking in an area for ambulances? That is what’s wrong with LEOs, they think the law does not include them. He could have parked anywhere else but he had to show that he is above the law. I see it all the time, it is ridiculous, they make some BS excuse why they do what they do. HIRE SMARTER POLICE OFFICERS THAT HAS EMPATHY AND CONCERN FOR OTHERS rather than ones that use their badge and guns as a means of bullying the public.
Sooooo he’s on paid leave now smh
This police officer should be fired
Fire this racist cop right now!
Just like the highway patrol officer arresting a firefighter on duty during a traffic accident. How is this not a criminal charge
Bacon swine piggy 🐷
Buffalo and Rochester. Upstate NY you have to do better with selection and training of your officers. How many people of color are on your force?
He needs to be in jail for assault with a deadly weapon and kidnapping under color of law. Blue line gang union will fight to keep him safe.
He’s unfit to serve. Emergency workers are partners. Police, fire him. Paramedic, sue him for 4th Amdt violation and take everything you can from him.
Police have long gotten away with doing whatever they want to whom ever they want. There might be a day when his life is in her hands and I can assure you unlike him, she will honor her oath and do everything she can to help him. Whereas he failed to honor his oath and did everything he could to destroy her. And I’m sure the “Internal” investigation will find no wrong doing as the boys of the thin blue line back their own. Incredibly short sighted but is why the crater between law enforcement and the community becomes wider, one incident at a time.
Cops jobs ez, do something wrong get paid vacation
It’s not always easy, but policing needs to be carried out using the thinking process NOT the primitive emotional process. It’s a hard standard, and if you’re not up for it, then LE is not for you.
It is established fact cops are of no value. They hinder people performing REAL jobs, roll out grand extortion in speeding and parking tickets, arrest people for BS things like weed, and sit outside for an hour when a real criminal is shooting kids.
Defund The Police!
#ENDQUALIFIEDIMMUNITY
Yeah that cop has serious anger management issues.
What was that about?
Rochester is effed up. Didn’t some push an elderly man down during the height of the protests
Where are all the back the blue idiots saying “just comply, they have a hard job?” 😂
Why isn’t he FIRED?!!! This is ridiculous.
Oh look another useless cop his excuse will be i was afraid for my safety he should have been fired and arrested not suspended
So more evidence that there needs to be more police accountability and that some police need to check themselves and their power
The stupid bully should be in prison for assault.
Imagine feeling the need to bully a 4’10” tall black woman all because she told you you’d have to wait until her patient received medical treatment before she could talk to you. All this because the ambulance and the officer’s car was parked close together so when the EMT stepped out of the vehicle she accidentally bumped into the officer’s car. Guess he couldn’t handle being told he’d have to wait. It’s sickening he was put on leave with pay. They basically just gave him a vacation.
I am glad i left the police academy after numerous sane people said, it’s not worth it any more.
The cop is a public menace. At a minimum he should be charged with assault, fired, and the department sued for harassment.
Ok but what made him behave like that, some story is missing.
Better hope he NEVER needs an EMT. But if he does, lets hope it’s one on the edge of burnout.
Just cops being cops. Garbage like always.
The Mayor look like he was having an anxiety attack and why can’t he speak for himself? Who was they lady in the red?
ma’am is you the Mayor or him?
Why is that half a story? What preceded this?
what happened?
Where’s the rest of the story?
So many questions as a result of this news piece; something is not adding up?
Once on an episode of COPS there was a black man being chased, I think in a car, but when he eventually ended up on the ground and appeared to be injured.., the absolute lack of empathy demonstrated by the white cop was …….,🤔
Sickening???
I understand that EMT’s are better trained and equipped.., but shouldn’t a (supposed) human in a position of authority have the social/moral responsibility to care for another in need when an ambulance is still several minutes out???
Someway???
Somehow???
We need GORT to SORT the human Trash from the non trash.., which would mean practically every individual that seeks profit, power and/fame would need to be made into third class citizens, replaced by those of pure heart and genuine character., becoming the future shepherds of this 🌎.., again!
Imagine this 🌍 has been around long enough to see the rise and fall of this human species hundreds if not thousands of times and currently it’s experiencing another cycle where eventually either the ignorant are eradicated or replaced by a majority of spiritually evolved awarenesses.
Religions not needed!
Just gifted, altruistic ❤️’s!
They are pals , so I wouldn’t read to much into it ! Especially if they call these ambulance services on the regular, and I do mean regular!
Why do we have cops? Someone remind me, cause I’m coming up with nothing.
America is stunned when a cop gets lead poisoning for no apparent reason…
It’s called “Karma”!
No cop has clean hands!
I heard he was parked in a spot where the ambulances normally park at. This guy must be on some power trip. Hope he gets fired and charged for assaulting the emt worker.
Officer, was that really necessary? What if that was you she was trying to get help to? Officer needs to check himself before he wrecks himself. Stupid.
If you’re worried about your precious car, don’t park illegally in an ambulance bay!! Stupid!!
Cops are bad man blacks been telling you for decades good thing there are cameras catching them now.
Brutal police officer; it didn’t have to end like that. Question to officer: what if the emt was delivering your mother to the hospital and you knew it would you have understood the mishap? Was the emt hysterically laughing after she bumped you? Wondering …
Fire the ‘Officer’, he’s Gun and Badge Drunk, time for him to go
What’s that cops saying about why he did that? There’s not any excuse for his actions .? Unless there’s something that’s been left out?
I hate cops
Not the uniform but the demon dress in it, the culture that’s been establish for decades even before recruitment.
Just another racist Pig piece of crap civil servant that is representative yes I will say this 100% of civil servant law enforcement in the United States of White America. COWARD COWARD COWARD
Psycho copper, qu’est-ce que c’est?
There is no end to the depth of cowardlyness police will go to
Pig 🐖
Fire his pathetic @$$
