Yeah, to protect and serve people who aren't speeding on the same public road.

What exactly are you trying to say? 3 minutes in, he tells them that EMS is on the way.

Your sarcasm is misplaced and you just sound like a finger pointing idiot instead of looking at the facts.



Chippewa Falls Police on Wednesday released squad car video of a Nov. 30 traffic stop in which Casey E. Kressin died after the vehicle he was riding in was pulled over by police for speeding and failing to stop at a red traffic light.
Bet you wouldn't have such a big mouth if her driving resulted in another collision.

Oh yeah, inb4 all the people saying "he could have escorted her with is sirens on."

Super bad situation to be in. You can see EMS doing CPR inside the ambulance when they load him in. Looks like he stopped breathing while they were loading him in.

Fuck, thats brutal.

[Asian_defender]

I don't fault the officer. He wasted no time in calling for EMS, told them to hurry up as well. It seemed the guy was breathing so I don't blame him for detaining them until EMS arrived

Of course we're going to be bias because we are only looking at this from a cilivian point of view

[rx7boi]

No bias here. This isn't like those other videos where family is obviously in distress and cop furthers the situation by arresting them.

It is pretty apparent that there is no wrongdoing, except from civilian panic and inability to keep their cool.

Yeah, her boyfriend/husband died and hindsight is 20/20, but you can't expect a cop to give reasonable discretion when you are bawling your eyes out and screaming on the side of the road.

Look at the Youtube comments. It is so easy to people to hate on cops and use phrases like "gut that pig" and then use that same phrase when commenting on the arrest of a child rapist.

[Jeff TYPE R]

Load up guy in cruiser, flip the shitlights on, and fuckin go. 2 miles is it.

But hindsight is 20/20. The cop isn't a doctor, how would he have known guy was a few minutes away from death?

Asthma - we've been living it through various members of our family for over two decades now. Done the ambulance rides in the middle of the night, spend numerous days in various hospitals, been through hell and back with this disease. Twenty plus years and I know that almost everyone outside of my immediate family does not know how deadly this disease can be - oh, he just has trouble breathing is what we would always here from an uncle or aunt or such. It can present itself in a different manner every time and sometimes it can be life or death - can't fault anyone in this situation as no one including the dead person themselves may have known the seriousness of this particular situation at any point in time that evening. Even a police cruiser at top speed may have not saved this man's life because there could've been complications that very may well have changed everything in an instant. Tough situation and I sympathize with all - remember waiting for an ambulance with my eldest in my arms suffering an acute asthma attack while having croup at the same time, couldn't breath in or out.

My best friend died of an asthma attack. He always had acute asthma since we were kids. I feel your pain. Unfortunately, he thought that he could cheat his asthma by ignoring it, and lived with a girlfriend that had cats. She finally made the decision to get rid of the cats , but it was too late. He only made it to the front step during the attack, and it was over.

Totally agree with you. The cop showed dilligence in calling an ambulance. He did the right thing, stay put and remain calm. At least the EMTS have training to help any issues en route as you said.

Its too bad, but such is life. You never know when your number is up.

what if the family was black tho?? :eek:

[Seth1968]

I couldn't listen to her screaming and bawling past about the 3 minute mark.

Anyway, with only a couple of miles to get to the hospital, I wouldn't even have stopped for the cop.

Exactly.

BTW- DO NOT get out of your vehicle when being pulled over.
