In regards to the 911 call and the lack of typical questions you would normally hear a trained 911 operator or dispatcher ask upon receiving a call; let's not forget this call was taken by an employee at a nursing home and obviously JMO I doubt the person fielding the call had much training in...

I think one could draw the same conclusions you have as to why this incident was recorded; but, one could also conclude that the incident was recorded as a way to protect both the school and the officer if they felt the action were necessary due to the circumstances that led up to the officer...

Couldn't have said it any better. For me, IMO, the school district should be named in this lawsuit. I question why the incident was recorded, again my opinion, but it looks to me as if the administration approved of the action and if they did not approve someone should have stepped in and...

Here are my thoughts and being such are obviously JMO: It seems to me that FG was known to BPD and more than likely known to these 6 officers who work this neighborhood; and being known to them I'm sure his behavior during previous encounters was definitely part of the LEOs thought process when...

It's common practice to place a Foley catheter and obtain a urine specimen for a urine drug screen during a code; the results of said screen can be quite useful in treating/reversing the underlying condition that caused cardiac arrest even in a trauma code. If FG was unresponsive and in cardiac...

You know what really irks me, the media fuels the fire in their coverage of any interaction between law enforcement and the public, constantly showing the "bad" encounters and rarely a positive story. Now with the coverage of this nonsense in Baltimore they are all calling for the police to...

I remember the day all the news station in OKC were reporting about these mysterious booms, it was very cold and I also distinctly remember that the Army ammunition depot outside if McAlester was detonating artillery that day. I live in South centeral OK right on the Texas border and the...

Tox screen and preserving/documenting evidence are pretty standard trauma protocol in the ED, Donnie was taken to a Level 1 trauma center iirc so some of these questions could be answered through medical records, assuming of course nurses/doctors documentation was good.

I just wanted to add IMO the lack of an complete autopsy is not really THAT surprising. Don't forget at the the time of Donald's suicide attempt, Brittney was not yet known to be missing by family or law enforcement and the true extent of the sex ring was probably not known by law enforcement...

First time posting on this thread but long time lurker. This may seem like a long shot to you, but honestly I have thought along these lines for quite sometime. I think Wendy had more of a leadership role in this whole sick group and I think she mistakenly thought Brittney was the snitch and by...

I am going to play devil's advocate here for a minute: if I'm this guy living in Liberia amongst this Ebola outbreak & I carried an infected dying pregnant lady to the hospital & then had the opportunity to fly to the US, no doubt I would have jumped on the first plane headed west. Upon my...

This is whole other topic that I could rant about for days!

You are spot on, couldn't agree more. We knew it was only a matter of time before Ebola showed up on US soil but I know living just 90 miles north of Dallas I didn't expect it to show up so close to home first. My feeling is the staff didn't expect it to show up there either, just goes to show...

Totally agree! JMO here but I'm guessing the triage nurse never saw the treating doc. I know there are times that I will go for several hours in triage and not see the docs especially when we are busy. It is still a failure to communicate properly and there is absolutely NO excuse for that. I...

Yes, I totally agree.
