And my best friend is moving to Oklahoma in about 3 weeks, but I guess he doesn't have to worry about being choked. Wow.
When I was a police officer Paramedics were golden. Who is going to help you when you are shot and bleeding on the side of the road. Karma is going to bitch slap that guy :smt011
I've been up there a few times. These are often the worst states...the ones that want to be southern in culture but aren't really southern...so they overcompensate with foolishness like this to prove how redneck they are.
the choking may have been 'excessive force,' but the paramedic did actually shove one of the troopers, who was maneuvering the medic's hand out of his face (does anyone know that you are not supposed to put your hands in their faces?). but like I said, the choking later may not have been warranted..I'm not even sure if they're allowed to using choking methods on people anymore
