Portsmouth, OH — An intense video uploaded to Facebook this week is beginning to go viral as it shows a Portsmouth police officer choking an EMT. The video, which was taken Saturday night outside of a Portsmouth bar, shows what happens when a police officer has his authority questioned. Predictably, the police department is claiming that the video doesn’t show everything that happened. However, multiple eye-witnesses have come forward and have told their versions — they are all the same. The video, like most videos, actually does not show 100 percent of what happened. However, according to those who watched the situation unfold, in person, there is no question as to what happened. According to police and witnesses, a fight had broken out in front of a bar in downtown Portsmouth last Saturday night. Police and EMS responded and the EMT began treating a man who’d been bleeding and knocked unconscious. While the EMT was prepping the man for a trip in the ambulance, the man regained consciousness and was naturally startled. “He just woke up from being knocked out, and he’s got guys all around him grabbing a hold of him,” Trevor Conley, one of many witnesses said. “You’re going to freak out.” Instead of calming the man down, as the EMT was trying to do, police rushed over and began tasering the man. At this point, acting out of concern for the man’s life, the EMT questioned the officer’s choice to taser a man who was bleeding and unconscious and tried to prevent it. However, he was swiftly met with police violence of his own. “When the EMT was telling him ‘you can’t do that, you can’t do that, he’s got head trauma,’ he grabbed him up here,” Chad Bennett said, who also witnessed the incident first hand, as he gestured around his neck. At this point, Journey says that’s when he started recording. Journey’s video is clear and shows the officer holding the EMT by his throat against the police cruiser — allegedly for the act of questioning his authority. But this cop’s anger wasn’t over yet. After he attacked the EMT, he turned his attention to the people who just documented the attack. “He saw us with our phones out,” Journey said. “That’s when he came across the street at us and was pretty hostile.” In an apparent fit of rage, the officer verbally berates the witnesses and attempted to confiscate their phones. However, he was unsuccessful. “I think they realized that they’d messed up,” Journey said. “He could’ve handled it a little better,” Conley said. “I know the situation was crazy.” According to the Portsmouth police chief, the case is under administrative review which is expected to be completed by Wednesday. Oddly enough, this is not the first time we’ve reported on a cop choking an EMT. Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper Daniel Martin decided that it would be a good idea to pull over an ambulance for failing to yield to his squad car — never mind the fact that the ambulance had a sick woman in the back, bringing her to the hospital. Martin became belligerent at the scene when the ambulance drivers wanted to continue on to the hospital and ended up assaulting and arresting driver Maurice White. Charges were eventually dropped against White, and Martin went on an all expense paid, taxpayer funded vacation.

No! But hey, run with it anyways since it shows your side of the story.
I guess the EMT is lucky that the cop did not shoot him. My guess is the expected suit will result in the taxpayers of Portsmouth Ohio having to make a big payment to cover the actions of the " brilliant " cop. Gee, don't they do psychological testing on these guys before issuing them a gun & badge? Oh, I forgot, Is this another flagrant example of " Yellow Journalism " ? Si vis pacem, para bellum Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."Theodore Roosevelt-1907. I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur
Guess you ignored all of the witnesses who corroborated the story.
You'd think so, right? Looks like another arrogant cop who wanted to show the EMT who's boss. Oh, I forgot, Is this another flagrant example of " Yellow Journalism " ? According to paulsen it is. I guess the EMT is lucky that the cop did not shoot him. The cop groupies here would say he deserved it. Oops. They accidentally left out the part where the cop told the EMT he was under arrest and the EMT pushed the cop away.
Oops, you ignored the fact that the EMT was trying to treat a patient that was already injured, and your "hero" used a tazer on him while he was being treated. Are you going to tell us the cop is also a medical doctor, and knew best in this situation? I know, you think anyone with a badge is God, and can do no wrong. I suspect that the judge will take a view different than yours. And in the expected civil suit, we will see what that judge, and that jury think.

Maybe. Maybe not. But the judge makes the decision, not the EMT on the scene.
Correct, nor you, on a forum Si vis pacem, para bellum Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."Theodore Roosevelt-1907.

I just looked at the video. The cop wasn't choking him. Not with those girly hands and the guys neck being so thick,and using only 1 hand. He had his hand on the guys neck to control him. Control the head and you control the body. Were the cops wrong? You bet your ass they were wrong. They were wrong from the beginning. You do NOT stop an ambulance on a hospital run with the sirens and flashing lights. If it is doing something wrong in your opinion,you escort it to the hospital and then deal with the driver after the patient in in the care of the hospital personell. Every cop involved in that needs to be fired. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
WHAT was the EMT being arrest for,Bubba? Not being properly respectful of the cops Auth-or-tay? That asshole cop needs to be fired and all the other little state troopers need to understand that no matter what their mommies told them,they are NOT God. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
But the judge makes the decision, not the EMT on the scene. No,you dumbass peckerhead,in cases such as this the EMT makes the decisions until the patient is at the hospital and under the care of the doctors there. And WHEN did "being disrespectful of a state trooper" become a crime? Methinks you cop fan bois need to learn this lesson as badly as the bully bois you worship. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
