The ambulance should have never pulled over. Have dispatch let highway patrol know they are loaded and to meet at hospital.
Have supervisor or owner meet at hospital if possible.

That's what I would have thought. Regardless of what was going on with that EMT and the cops.

The "guys" (EMT's & LEO's) on the forum were saying ambulance has the right of way over a leo unless leo is responding to secure the scene. In this case the ambulance was NOT running code at the time. The leo had responded to a call from a fellow leo for help and then was "signal 9'ed" and turned around to go back after the ambulance.
If it's allowed, I will post links to the other forums so you can read the story for better info.

Something is up, no doubt. You don't resist like that and NOT go to jail. Does anyone know if they have arrested the EMT yet? If it was cut and dry, wouldn't he already be in cuffs? Seems as if Barney and his gang are a little scared to go in with guns blazing on this one.
The EMT should have allowed himself to be arrested, and THEN have the officer staring down the eye of a felony charge.

Not enough info to make a judgement call when not there.
With what info was provided, if at all possible, should have been handled better due to patient involved in transport.
Seriously Rutman, with all due respect ( I really mean that ), I don't think it really matters what happened leading up to the "attempted arrest". The most important FACT is that an emergency vehicle was stopped in an emergency situation, a person in distress in the back, and
instead of an escort to the hospital, this pitiful excuse for a public servant wants to have it out with the EMTs? People who approve of this behavior and defend the police in this instance are difficult for me to comprehend. Too much of it goes on because WE let it.

I would equate this to stopping a police officer for speeding while in pursuit of a vehicle. common sense tells you the officer is going to speed. An EMS vehicle should not be stopped while in route to a hospital or an emergency.
