NP's reaction when I told him about this story was "I would sue. I'm not normally one to go straight for the lawsuit but . . . " and then some profanity ensued.
There was a car crash in Georgia. No big deal, it happens all the time, right?
It was a big deal for one lady, who suffered massive injuries in the wreck. She later died from her injuries.
One of the responding firefighters took a video of the suffering woman as she lay broken and dying.
That right there is where Officer Dave would step in and make the fireman delete the video.
Things being as they are, the video was saved and circulated within, then without the fire department; then it got out into the wild.
Eventually the video made its way onto the computer screen of the parents of the deceased.
Read that last sentence again.
A half-dozen firefighters who probably all should have done what Officer Dave would have done are being officially reprimanded. This one is going on their permanent record. This is a bare minimum of the acceptable response from Spalding County. That they intend to fire the [deleted] who filmed the video is proper, but it takes a little while sometimes to fire firemen, and he has already retained a lawyer to fight to keep his job. This fireman should be left out in the cold by his union (if any) and I hope he pays lawyer fees through the nose and loses his job anyway.
The jerk.
