    [QUOTE="semi" retired;4193354]1st, it's old news, long gone, and 2nd, the cop didn't even go over to see the condition of the woman. That, my friends, is why a dash cam should be standard issue on all trucks.[/QUOTE]

    1-28-13 on the dash cam.

    Still, good story.

    Old news, new news, regardless, it is good to see someone care and take action that saved the lives of two people. Obviously, the first cop on the scene had someplace better to be, it is hard to display such indifference and he pulled it off admirably, and the lady cop, well, she did it just as well, but giving her the benefit of doubt since the video ran out soon after, and it is possible the EMT's may have pulling in at about that time off camera.

    Well done Mr. Fredericksen!

    Somehow it only made the news yesterday.

    Amazing how some people just sit inside their tin cans would watch another person burn alive.

    And that sluggish cop walking around using his sphincter as a collar is a worthless POS as a cop. That's the kind of cop they want in Ferguson!
     
    "semi" retired Thanks this.

    Apparently the time stamp on the video is incorrect, at least that is what is being reported. Glad to see positive news on the trucking industry! Don't see that much anymore.
