Video shows trooper doubted man was having heart attack

[Liberal_in_LA]

William O’Neil sat at the back of traffic court in Joliet on Thursday, glaring at the Illinois State Police trooper who wrote his son a $1,500 ticket for speeding.

On Sept. 27, O’Neil was suffering from his second heart attack in four years. His son was racing him from their home in Lemont to a hospital in Downers Grove when the trooper pulled them over.

O’Neil still can’t understand why the trooper didn’t let them keep driving to Good Samaritan Hospital, where he was previously treated.

Instead, the trooper called an ambulance that took O’Neil to another hospital.

A video obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times shows the trooper repeatedly suggested that O’Neil was faking a heart attack.

1. I guess the trooper was trying to kill him, indirectly. What other reason is there?

Why didn't the dumbass escort them to the hospital? Do cops not do that anymore?

2. The father wondered where the trooper's head was. I think we all know the answer to that.

Proof one more time that most cops are just plain fucking dumb.

3. Worse than that - dumb and mean.
