Bad Cop: Officer blocked us from ER during bride's stroke [Video]
One of the worse Bad Cop stories I have put on here in some time. A patient, believed to be having a stroke, says an officer with the Chattanooga Police Department blocked her husband from taking her to the emergency room at Erlanger Wednesday night. Aline Wright is a cancer survivor, amputee and a newlywed. Wednesday night she began to show signs she was having a stroke. The husband admits he treated traffic lights as many of us treat stop signs in an attempt to get his wife to the hospital ASAP. After the second light, Chattanooga Police started their chase. Don’t get me wrong, I see the problem here but the Chattanooga Police department seems like a bunch of coldhearted morons and hopefully we can make some noise about this. Be sure to watch the video and check out the response from Lt. Kim Noorbergen who seems about as intelligent as the officer who BLOCKED THE DOOR OF AN EMERGENCY ROOM WHILE A PATIENT WAS HAVING A STROKE. Seriously?
"At that point we figured because we were so close to Erlanger emergency department that the police would be aware that's where we were going," said Aline.
According to Aline, the officer caught up with the couple as they were attempting to enter the emergency room at Erlanger Medical Center. Aline says her husband was carrying her in his arms because she could not walk. According to Aline, the officer blocked the entrance and demanded answers for running the red lights.
"He picks me up in his arms and the officer continues to block the way into the emergency room," said Aline.
"He's standing between Jesse and I, and the emergency room doors."
Aline says eventually the officer allowed them to enter the hospital, but says he didn't stop there.
Aline tells Channel 3 Eyewitness News that once the couple was placed in a hospital room, the officer attempted to enter their room to arrest Jesse for evading the police.
Eyewitness News contacted Chattanooga Police today for their side of the story.
Lt. Kim Noorbergen says the officer was just "doing his job".
Erlanger medical personnel then turned the officer away, informing him that since Aline could not speak Jesse was needed to answer questions for the doctors.
Wow
Cops!

A few days ago I nearly cut in front of an Oklahoma Highway Patrol. This nutsack was going so fast (on a city street, not the highway) that I didn't see him coming until he was right up on me. He proceeded to pull up beside me in the street and make me stop, roll down my window and chew me out (blocking traffic). Said I didn't initiate a proper lane change and if he sees me do it again he's going to write a ticket! Then he blew through a red light in what seemed like a complete rage. Some cops have a god complex.
All that for an in-proper lane change? When he was doing well over the posted speed limit to start with? Whatever....
