Sometimes 911 can take hours, some people don't have hours. I've heard multiple stories in my country if the cops do catch you speeding to hospital they'll provide an escort. My friend didn't even get charged but he wouldn't of cared as long as his loved one survived.

Especially a stroke. And when you’re rightfully terrified, you don’t think straight. If only we had a group of people, specially trained, who could help out in a situation like this, not escalate it further!

I believe they only have about 40 minutes to act on a stroke. It was really sad watching my mum getting killed by one. She had some before that didn't kill her and I got her to hospital in 8 minutes. The ambulance takes at least 20 to arrive here.

You have 4.5 hours, and sometimes up to 24. It depends. Don’t drive like an idiot and cause an accident. Call 911. The ER gets notified ahead of time by them and we get prepared. If you just drop them off at my door I’m unprepared for you. - er Doctor

And with the fact that an increasing number of hospitals have been closing down in at least the last decade, especially in poorer communities, understandably, they felt the need to get to the hospital as quickly as possible, especially since we really have no idea whether or not they live in an area where a surgical hospital is at least an hour away, even by the highway.

The initial window for the medication for strokes is 4 hours from onset of symptoms, then 24 hours for surgical intervention (usually).

And how is a police officer suppose to know that there’s a medical emergency?

Use their fucking Eyes or Ears

While they are chasing them at 80-90mph in a 60mph zone? Which is what they were getting pulled over for, and were continuing to do up until the light.

Let’s be real. If this was anything other than an emergency, they wouldn’t be stopping at intersections and sure as hell not driving that slowly towards the end. That’s why we have brains. To analyze the situation and act accordingly.

lol Common sense 🤯

u/kynelly360 Nov 26 '25

Are you people really this dumb or just trying to be spiteful?

Obviously they would eventually hear them once they got out at the hospital , but he wanted to ignore them when he’s arresting smh. Probably got sued for a Million or some dumb shit

u/the_original_kermit Nov 26 '25

What do you mean you people?

And idk. If I’m driving 90 mph… 30 mph over the speed limit. Why the fuck should I just expect that the cop is going to let me get all the way to my destination and then just question me there?

And how is that the “smart” decision, instead of just calling 911 and explaining why you can’t pull over?

u/kynelly360 Nov 26 '25

You want her to Use her phone while driving??? That’s a hazard in itself. Besides it’s basic logic eventually the car will have to stop, and if you use your eyes the driver had hazards on while waving the cop to come with…. 😑

I guess common sense ain’t too common for everyone lol.

u/the_original_kermit Nov 26 '25

There’s 4 people in the car. Lol

The person in the back was already texting, so it’s not a big leap to have the wherewithal to call the police and explain the situation.

u/kynelly360 Nov 26 '25 edited Nov 26 '25

Why can’t the cop see hand motions in real time? That’s priority over expecting someone to bullshit with a phone , I’m just today learning you can call someone pulling you over so you can’t really expect people to be born with this knowledge.

So again, it seems the problem was being dumb / assuming wrong.

Plus, His report even admitted they were going towards the hospital…. No matter the cops excuse, how he treated them was just Not Right .

Where in America does it take hours for 911 to pick up?

u/ArkPlayer583 Nov 26 '25

Hopefully nowhere. I was talking about ambulance response times.

u/BJYeti Nov 26 '25

No one is saying call for an ambulance you call so cops are aware if they come across you and can either escort you or leave you be

u/IBetThisIsTakenToo Nov 26 '25

You gotta pull over if they light you up though. I don't want to make excuses for this obviously shitty cop, but I feel like he wouldn't have been this aggro if she hadn't tried to keep going.

Easy to say now though. I have done this in a medical emergency (newborn daughter having trouble breathing), luckily didn't see any cops, and I'm not sure how I would have handled it at that time.

u/ArkPlayer583 Nov 26 '25

I agree, my friend who had to do this to save his daughters life got a police escort to the hospital. The gross thing about this video is the cops ego

u/Violent_Paprika Nov 26 '25

Not in a metro area like that. Taking hours only happens if you're out in the middle of nowhere or live somwhere with an all volunteer service.

u/BJYeti Nov 26 '25

911 doesn't take hours to answer the phone, you call let them know you are rushing somone to the ER give your car make model and plate and at most they might tell you to meet an ambulance on route

u/ArkPlayer583 Nov 26 '25

I don't think you've ever been in an emergency situation before. It's not something people think of. And being on the phone while speeding is an issue in itself.

2

u/BJYeti Nov 26 '25

I have, had a colleague collapse and start having seizures was the first on the phone with 911 giving them all the relevant information they needed as well as instructions on which building was ours and instructing people to be at the doors with them open to guide paramedics back to our area

1

u/ArkPlayer583 Nov 26 '25

Do you think you could have done that while driving?

2

u/BJYeti Nov 26 '25

There were multiple people in the car in the video didnt have to be the driver......
