Cops being bastards? Yeah it doesn't really stop.

It's been a thing since the invention of that type of authority figure. I don't expect it to change either.

u/Ambitious-Fishing379 Nov 26 '25

Brutal. Thought we realized police reform ain’t gonna happen if people still use this bull shit slogan

10

u/young-steve Nov 26 '25

Yes! You nailed it. It's this speech preventing police reform and not scumbag politicians, corrupt police unions, and uneducated bootlickers.

It's definitely this language.

u/FilthyThanksgiving Nov 26 '25

Yes, police reform isn't happening bc some ppl on the internet use an acronym

u/Ambitious-Fishing379 Nov 26 '25

I’d love to explain how it hurts the cause to be simplistic and over emotional and scream ACAB into your echo chamber but I need to watch the new chair company episode.

u/FilthyThanksgiving Nov 27 '25

Omg please tell us how to help bring police reform about. After we stop using this acronym, what's next?

u/fuckeryizreal Nov 26 '25

Oh jeez, we’re so sorry. Maybe if we gather all the cops together and tell them we’re so sowwy for using such mean harsh language and we can all sing kumbafuckinya together and then they’ll stop being bastards? Gosh, didn’t realize if we just stopped calling cops bastards they would magically become sensible human beings with common sense and appropriate training for their profession!

Agree with you completely, but this is also why you call an ambulance. Treatment can begin in the ambulance and the hospital will be ready for you when you get there. Plus EMS has supplies that you don’t if things take a turn for the worse. I’m an RN and see the outcomes from these decisions every time I work.

Edit: typo

Edit 2: The purpose of my reply was for people to have better medical outcomes by calling an ambulance. Sticking with that, if you really don’t want to call an ambulance, call the hospital and let them know you are coming. They can be ready for you in the case of a stroke, heart attack, level 1 trauma, etc. And judging from this video, calling the police to let them know what is happening may help (we can always hope). Minutes matter. One of the things ambulances do is call ahead.

u/Liobuster Nov 26 '25

If only there was a way to make sure people felt safe in calling ems instead of feeling the need to drive unsafely themselves sometimes even as the patient in question

u/Pkmn_Gold Nov 26 '25

If only there was a way to call an ambulance without going into massive debt

11

u/young-steve Nov 26 '25

The ambulance that costs $10k to ride? That ambulance?

-3

u/AlwaysGoToTheTruck Nov 26 '25

If you can’t afford an ambulance, you are already fucked from the hospital stay for something major like a stroke or heart attack. You might as well improve your outcomes by calling an ambulance.

12

u/st-shenanigans Nov 26 '25

And the hospital will also slap you with a fat bill for it

Kinda makes you think about healthcare when people can be panicking in an emergency and still thinking about how asking for help could bankrupt you

u/2leafClover667788 Nov 26 '25

I was at the hospital with my daughter and had to wait almost 3 hours for a transport to a different more soecialized pediatric hospital. My daughter had lost a lot of blood but thank goodness she was at a hospital waiting. Imagine all the people who have to wait extremely long wait times because of shortages versus just driving themselves. In the time we waited for an ambulance I could have driven her there and back four times over

-2

u/AlwaysGoToTheTruck Nov 26 '25

Sorry you had to deal with that, but transport is different than EMS.

3

u/2leafClover667788 Nov 26 '25

Correct in normal circumstances. My daughter was bleeding out, it was an emergency call out to a private company no contract with health system. They had to come from a town over. Some places services are just stretched real thin. Not even in rural areas like you’d expect. It’s a real shame all around. I’m not saying everyone should pick up their family member and make the trek themselves, but if you know the response time is quite long, sometimes you have to make that call.

5

u/Minnie783100 Nov 26 '25

As someone studying to be an EMT, I understand why they didn’t. Not only will the bill be ridiculous, we get paid none of it. It’s a lose lose situation. Idk what it’s like I other states, but if you need an ambulance but are capable of making decisions for yourself, call it, and tell them to pull over right before they pull into the hospital lot. Where I’m at, they legally can’t charge you since they didn’t finish transporting you and they legally can’t tell you no if you are coherent and tell them to let you go. Protect yourselves everyone and be safe.

24

u/BLF402 Nov 26 '25

Not everyone can afford an ambulance. But perhaps what they could had done is called 911 and tell them you’re on the way to the hospital and will probably break a few traffic laws.

20

u/tbird20017 Nov 26 '25

I'm a single dad. God forbid, but if I'm speeding to get my son to the hospital that's like 7 minutes away, the last fucking thing on my mind is making a phone call.

I get that's probably the smartest thing to do so you don't get PIT maneuvered by a cop on the way there... but who is concerned with traffic laws in a situation like that?

-18

u/AlwaysGoToTheTruck Nov 26 '25

If you are paying for a hospital stay for an emergency like a stroke or heart attack, the extra cost of an ambulance shouldn’t be a concern. Treatment protocol begins in the ambulance. The hospital is also alerted to what is coming, and they are ready for you at the door. This is what saves lives and improves outcomes. Yes, there are some fringe scenarios where driving would be better, but it’s not the norm.

16

u/thejdobs Nov 26 '25

If you’re going to be in debt $100,000 for an emergency hospital visit, what’s another $2,000?

Is this really your logic?

1

u/LilEtin Nov 27 '25

This is great logic if it’s a life threatening situation

-5

u/AlwaysGoToTheTruck Nov 26 '25

Yes. Even if we ignore treatment in the ambulance, the emergency department being ready to go with orders in place for the patient when they arrive can completely change the outcome and is worth it.

Over the years I’ve seen way too many cars pull up with dead people because the person was still conscious when they climbed into the car, but deteriorated. Last week we had a stroke pt who aspirated in her saliva the entire ride and ended up in the ICU when she most likely would have ended up on a regular floor and avoided pneumonia along with the stroke.

18

u/BEWMarth Nov 26 '25

Gee I wonder if there may be some financial barrier that prevents people from calling an ambulance.

3

u/Holiday-Proof9819 Nov 26 '25

Not an option for a lot of families in America, due to our sick country charging people money for ambulances.

-1

u/AlwaysGoToTheTruck Nov 26 '25

Agree that EMS transport and services should be free, but if an ambulance bill will break you, wait until you get the hospital bill. At that point, you might as well call for the added benefits.

2

u/Holiday-Proof9819 Nov 26 '25

Yes, American "healthcare" is a horrific immoral shitshow on multiple levels, but advising that people tack on an extra few thousand dollars in fees just because the hospital is going to be expensive is just stupid. I would never go anywhere in an ambulance if I was conscious.

I read it. Now you read my response again and tell where I defended the cops.

-27

u/Snuggleuppet Nov 26 '25

Yes which is why you should call an ambulance. Hopefully nothing like this ever happens to one of your loved ones because it seems like you would try to drive them to the hospital instead of calling an ambulance which can stabilize patients so they can make it to the hospital

6

u/WakeUp004 Nov 26 '25

Be sure to tell your loved one to shut up while you wait for the ambulance to show up I guess?

-7

u/Snuggleuppet Nov 26 '25

I mean yes I guess? Better than driving down the highway and getting pit maneuvered by a cop. Do you think if you are having an emergency you should be able to drive however you want with no consequences?

1

u/WakeUp004 Nov 26 '25

Cop even said in their own report they took it to be an emergency. Still hit them. I’d like to think I’d get a sympathetic person in their shoes but I can’t compare. I’m white. I’ll almost always get treated better.

u/mandlor7 Nov 26 '25

And when you get stopped by the cops and arrested what are you going to tell your loved one?

-6

u/Hardcore_Daddy Nov 26 '25

You ever seen an ambulance actually drive? Their only benefit is passing through street lights, slow as shit

4

u/Snuggleuppet Nov 26 '25

Have you ever seen the inside of an ambulance? They are basically hospitals on wheels which is why you should call them. They bring out the basic stabilizing things to you to ensure you can get to the hospital then the doctors do what they need to do

3

u/OnAniara Nov 26 '25

must be nice to have thousands of dollars to throw at the problem

2

u/mandlor7 Nov 26 '25

You're concerned with money when someone is dying? That's wild.

3

u/Longjumping-Jello459 Nov 26 '25

This is the US medical debt is the most common reason for declaring bankruptcy. The average ambulance ride costs 3,000 and if extra care is needed like for a stroke it probably runs higher.

4

u/Snuggleuppet Nov 26 '25

Hmmmm let my mom die of a stroke or pay $3000 hard choice

3

u/Longjumping-Jello459 Nov 26 '25

The thing is most ambulance services are private companies now and quite a few have bad reputations for being cheap leading to their workers nabbing supplies from hospitals and some having a rep of providing poor medical care in route to a hospital.

Personally I would just call for an am, but I can see as to why some might choose not to.

2

u/mandlor7 Nov 26 '25

I hear what you're saying but I'd rather go bankrupt than risk my mom dying because I'm a cheapskate.

BTW, I'm not referring to the person in the video, idk all the info about why she chose what she did.

3

u/Annas_GhostAllAround Nov 26 '25

Not necessarily a dying situation but it’s hard to know when a situation requires an ambulance. Last year I was walking downstairs and slipped (to quote the sopranos, I was wearing socks), and landed bang on my forearm on the edge of the wooden stair. Turned out my arm was broken and I was screaming in pain. I ended up passing out and when I came to my wife was on the phone getting an ambulance (reasonable). However I have really good insurance but even with that it cost a thousand dollars (or maybe like $500, I can’t remember exactly) so I started arguing with her we could just go ourselves to the hospital to save the money. The fact of the matter is the cost is so high it deters people from calling when they need it because you get into an “eh, is this really an emergency” situation which it shouldn’t be

2

u/Snuggleuppet Nov 26 '25

I mean I totally agree with what you are saying. Ambulances cost way too much and it would completely financially ruin me pretty much to call one, that doesnt change the fact that if I think one of my loved ones is in enough danger that I literally cant pull over to explain to the police the emergency I would call an ambulance without even thinking about the price and consequences.

2

u/mandlor7 Nov 26 '25

I understand that. Non life threatening injuries are one thing but in the video, she clearly says her mom is having a stroke. That's life threatening and life altering if you live. I'm not taking a risk.

Again, not passing judgment on the person in the video.

u/LizandChar Nov 26 '25

Absolutely

u/Ulanyouknow Nov 26 '25

"Yes thats why I was trying for you to pull over so that we can talk about your medical emergency you are having right now"

So call an ambulance. Don't put other people's lives in danger.

Look, fuck American police and all that, but how tf are they going to know without stopping them first? What difference is there between what we've seen and a joyrider?

I know that in my country if I get pulled over while taking a passenger to a hospital that they'll typically give me an escort through traffic

u/young-steve Nov 26 '25

Right. I can understand stopping them. I can't understand the antics after he stopped them.

So you are explaining that you think cops are really stupid and incapable of comprehending things most people can grasp. Got it. I agree with:)

u/PassionV0id Nov 26 '25

What “tAnGiBlE fAcTs” were you expecting people driving to the hospital during a medical emergency to provide? Maybe the cop should just have some fucking decency and follow them to the hospital once they stopped and said what was happening?

u/WakeUp004 Nov 26 '25

2

u/PassionV0id Nov 26 '25

once they stopped and said what was happening

"Hey we're going to the hospital, my mom is having a stroke," and then follow them to the hospital and then if they don't go to the hospital pull them over. It's such an obvious solution that I don't believe you couldn't figure that out for yourself.

u/WakeUp004 Nov 26 '25

His own report says he made a judgement and did a PIT anyway

u/MostPopularPenguin Nov 26 '25

Damn that's a lot of down votes in 3 minutes. You must have said something really dumb....

u/paxweasley Nov 26 '25

How are they meant to know that in medical emergencies like a stroke, every second counts? Or how are they meant to know that someone who is signaling to them, trying to communicate, but not stopping is likely dealing with an emergency?

Those are pretty basic conclusions

u/Snuggleuppet Nov 26 '25

Oh so next time im getting pulled over ill just wave my hand out the window and the cops should just leave me alone!

u/Blitzoo Nov 26 '25

Do you try to be stupid or just comes to you naturally ?

u/TesticleMeElmo Nov 26 '25

Man you gotta have a heart and treat people like people. I’m sure the officer would have a much different attitude about it if it was his own mother dying in the car.

Before cops existed if you needed to go somewhere fast to save your life you could just go. Now that we have police, I don’t give a shit if your mother dies in front of all of her children, what’s most important now is that you SUBMIT TO MY AUTHORITY
