There is nothing SUPER about this Trooper, so maybe you have the wrong wording
for this discussion.

Barney was the depity sheriff for Mayberry RFD,
He was not a State Trooper, he held a more
important roll in his community, and on top of that,
he didn't even need bullets in his gun, however he was
allowed to keep one in his pocket. I think Andy gave him
one without powder in it. LOL

Well the Firefightr shouldn't have gotten between the trooper and the doughnuts....that can be very hazardous.....When a cop says he wants a certain kind.....well....he means it and he isn't afraid to shoot someone to get it.......Paul

I was actually being sarcastic about the trooper. He probably is having a "size does matter" issue at home, or either he's upset about failing too many firefighter tests, and had to face the fact that he was not good enough to be a firefighter and he had to settle for being a cop!!!

Wouldnt happen here. We keep Doughnuts on our medics just for this reason. And a variety to boot.
No seriously, we wernt there and didnt see first hand what actually happened. Suspect the supervisors will iron this one out or the courts will. Establishing a good working order with your local, county and State police is a must. Carry doughnuts and let them know............................................

Bottom line...this would NEVER happen in our area. We have too much respect for each other and pretty much know everyone in each service. We even have the all around people who are all three; Firefighter, EMT, and Police Officer.

Even in personal vehicles it doesnt happen. I was in my brothers truck responding to the fire house for a possible Structure fire, we had the blue light on and we passed a trooper heading the opposite direction. He turned around behind us and sped up to get right on our tail and followed us to the station, no lights or sirens, just followed us. The fire call was determined to be false and we were canceled as we were pulling into the station parking lot. The trooper asked us if we still had a call to respond to, we said no, he than looked at me and asked me to walk away so he could talk to my brother. He talked to him professionally and respectfully and in a manner that no one else could see them from the station and told my brother he was going a bit too fast and to slow it down next time and left.
Courtesy, respect, professionalism...

Well if I was the local EMS and the local Fire, I would make sure that the Oklahoma State Troopers did their job on all the future calls that might involve all three agencies.. For instance... how many times on a call, does the local trooper ask if any of your firefighters or fire police could give them a hand on traffic control... answer now... "NO", how many times on a fire call does the Trooper car is always parked right in front of the residence or business, right in our way.. .. answer now "BLOCK HIM IN UNTIL THE END OF THE INCIDENT" and of course on all car fires that are along the highway... put it out, and leave it... they can wait for the tow truck.. and maintain traffic control.... just a few ways to say "remember when Trooper "XX#%&^%#" did to a ambulance....
