The cops said they wanted him to move the fire truck because it was blocking traffic. And I guess the cops and firefighters are talking things over or something...

Trash ass cops

The fire truck was blocking traffic because the injured person and the firefighters who were treating him were still in the middle of the freeway

I think they tried telling the cop. But the cop didnt seem to care...

That cop must be a special kind of stupid, but you WILL respect his authority!

I kind of agree...you can still save somebody without parking the giant truck dead ass in the middle of everyone else's way.

I dont. First, the request seems weird. They wanted them to clear the road. When helping civilians, the last thing they are probably worried about is the parking job. Also, they have to block traffic from getting too close, which could cause either another accident, or have people just running in the wounded and paramedics. And if you watch the video, traffic seemed fine. They had to go over to the right lane, but it was still moving. And traffic normally slows down after an accident happens. Thinking the cop was in the right seems weird to me...

did you know that the cops won't hire you if you score too high on their IQ test

Fucking stupid. Firefighters are trained to block traffic so dumbasses speeding and not paying attention won't injure them or civilians while they are working.

According to the news this isn't even the first incident.

But the police in this country are fine guys!

That's not true. Most of them don't even have IQ tests. Unless they changed that in the last 4 years.

Why are cops today so stupid and terribly trained

In the fall of 1996, Jordan learned that the city of New London was interviewing candidates. Upon further inquiry, however, he learned from assistant city manager Keith Harrigan that he would not be interviewed because he "didn't fit the profile." Plaintiff, who was 46 years old, suspected age discrimination and filed an administrative complaint with the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities. The city responded that it removed Jordan from consideration because he scored a 33 on the WPT, and that to prevent frequent job turnover caused by hiring overqualified applicants the city only interviewed candidates who scored [*3] between 20 and 27.

Not if saving that person requires stopping traffic so that they can clear the road, dumbass...
