Firefighter Was in the Middle of Helping a Woman During Medical Call When He Suddenly Found Himself in Handcuffs

A fireman in New Roads, La., was rendering aid to a woman during a medical call on Monday when a police officer ordered him to move his firetruck, which was parked on the side of the street with its flashing lights on. When he refused, the officer slapped handcuffs on him and detained him in the back of his police cruiser.

Now the State Fire Marshal’s Office has launched an investigation into the incident to determine if the cop violated laws designed to protect firefighters during emergencies.

The incident was captured on surveillance cameras at the New Roads Housing Authority. The fireman was detained in the police care for 22 minutes, according to the footage.

It's pretty obvious today, police are worse than street thug drug dealers.
They have become the 200lb bully in 6th grade, and they carry guns.
They are nothing more than vindictive chumps that will get their way or kill you.
Oh well, payback is a twitch.

Cops have guns and firemen only have their hoses….

The law clearly states that the cop broke the law by interfering.
