The poor man who witnessed and helped. That will stick with him for quite some time. About four years ago I witnessed a stabbing and held a mans intestines for 8 long minutes. I remember the feeling of other people watching and not helping. They were frozen. I remember telling the man that he was gonna be okay and that I loved him too. I remember the fear in his eyes as he asked for me to hold his hand and the how guilty I felt that I couldn’t hold his hand but I was literally holding his guts in his body. If it was going to be his last minutes I wanted to ease his fear as much as possible. Time stood still but lasted forever all at once. I was calm like the eye of a storm. But the second the police took over and I stepped back it was like time sped up and I was hit by the storm itself. Covered in blood I just stood there. I thought I was handling it fairly well. Then days later I couldn’t stop wondering if he survived. It was eating me up. I’m a fairly hardened person who rarely cries but I was suddenly having tears pour out of my face. It was affecting my work and my life. Then three weeks later I was on break at work and a coworker called saying I needed to go in, that someone was looking for me. I thought it was detectives as they had come multiple times. I walked in and it was the man. He survived but barely. He was handicapped which I hadn’t realized somehow. He had a card and flowers for me. Inside the card in messy scribbles it said “Thank you for saving my life”. I just hugged him and sobbed. I know I was there for a reason and I am grateful I was. But that stuff stays with you. Sorry for the long post, just seeing the witness emotional brought back all those feelings. I hope he his well. And thank you to anyhow who read this long comment

I scrubbed heart cases years ago at a level 1 trauma OR in San Diego. We had a 21 year old female who had a congenital condition that had worsened to where we had to attempt an LVAD (to keep her alive until she was able to take a transplant). When they wheeled her in she was so small and frail...and was putting on such a brave face. I had finished setting up a little early so I broke scrub to help my good nurse friend with moving her over onto the OR bed. I can't get out of my head how light she was and all her lines and cords she had attached to her tiny frame.... I am a fairly emotional guy and consider myself fairly masculine and stoic most of the time. But this little lady...I held her hand as they put her off to sleep and she looked at me right before the drugs hit her veins and she squeezed my hand and said, "please don't let me die". All I could think to say (as my job is mostly dealing with the surgeons being scrubbed sterile and helping with the procedure) was, "We will take good care of you sweetie". I remember this because my nurse friend standing opposite me later commended me on NOT telling her that she will be alright...which is what I wanted to say instinctively. Our sweet patient died after the docs tried and tried with her. I still cry thinking about her just writing this. How precious and fleeting life can sometimes be. Cherish every moment people and be well.

He saw it happen and was able to stop. If you’re on the highway, looking at the road, going 70+mph by the time you’ve processed what you’re seeing, you’ve already passed it. If he was on the ground, they may not have seen him at all. If you can stop safely, then stop. Make sure your vehicle is out of the way of the ambulance. You don’t want 20 cars blocking paramedics But since it’s rarely safe to slam on your brakes on the highway and this video itself proves it’s not particularly safe to pull over on the shoulder of the highway, the vast majority of the people that drove past are not assholes.

They're not doing it because they know they're guilty, they're doing it because they're offered a plea deal. I had a drunk male I got into a pursuit with, all on video, heavily intoxicated, swerving all over the road drunk I chased for a while through a busy street. I charged him resisting arrest by fleeing creating a substantial risk to the public (felony) DWI (misdemeanor) and driving without a valid license (misdemeanor). He plead out to misdemeanor resisting arrest, DWI, and they dropped the no license charge. He did 10 days for being super drunk and us on a pursuit. That's just one example because he plead out recently, but 99% of arrests are plead out with a plea deal to avoid court. Otherwise we'd be having jury trials weekly.

Anyone connected to the Funeral business usually has this same humor and/or dark humor. Morgue workers and Florists get it, too. You either develop a coping mechanism or you get out of the business.

[@crisespinoza1979]

@jklfds85 no. It's a stress release mechanism that first responders use when dealing with a horrible and or gruesome event. It is also called "gallows humor". You make jokes when people think it's uncalled for. At best, you try to find some humor in the situation or, like these officers did, use a past event that was funny as the basis for the jokes. It helps keep the mind from dwelling on the horror you've witnessed.

[@Sarafimm2]

@rustyiron Yes, in some cases just how things are said. A family of Florists I knew had a few people who would giggle with a grimace or turn it into a cough in dark situations such as having to deal with funerals, going into the funeral parlor, or discussing such things. Weirdly or maybe not so weirdly, they'd dealt with death so much that, with a few very rare exceptions, horror movies didn't phase them. Sadly, it was something they'd grown up with and discussed over the dinner table type of thing. There are many jobs in healthcare that have similar circumstances. When I was young, I was told "all the good paying future jobs are going to be in healthcare!" and "healthcare will be AI proof!", but what they don't tell you is how you can lose your morality and/or soul working in healthcare if you don't have the right temperament or attitude. That's why you hear about so many healthcare workers stealing or committing crimes against the elderly or their employers. That's why you hear about healthcare workers turning to alcohol, drugs, smoking cigarettes and are over weight despite being nurses or doctors who above all others should know better.

Absolutely heartbreaking, much love to his family, colleagues and friends ❤. Thank you to the witness, whose a wonderful compassionate person ❤

Bless that man that helped the officer. "I told him i loved him and that its gonna ve okay". He wanted to make sure that the officer knew he was cared for and wasnt alone.

Only 6 years. Only. Six. Years. She should get at least 20. No consequence, no deterrence. Why tf was she driving in the first place? American justice is effed. And I'm glad to know that officer is recovering.

The amount of tears I shed while watching this video!! I hate inconsiderate humans!!! My prayers go out to first responders who put their lives on the line for us!

[@AmtrakFlareon]

That officer is lucky to be alive, god gave him another chance at life. Get well soon soldier❤

The gentlemen who stopped and helped this young man through it held his hand and comforted him is how we all should behave in these situations. Stop, check on the victim, call for help, hold their hand, encourage them to stay alert, and let them know you won't leave them. In the end, we are all brothers and sisters and should never allow someone to go through this kind of thing alone. Telling him he loved him was absolutely the right thing to do. In the end, love is all we have and all we need.

Dear God please let that Trooper recover with no brain or spine issues from that hit. The incredible circumstance of his story gives me chills. Please, someone, take that woman's license away from her. Although with her history it probably wouldn't stop her from driving. A great big thank you to the gentleman who witnessed it and stopped to help, unlike all of the other drivers who just passed them by.

God bless the eye witness for his compassion and kind heart.❤

[@jetteroheller]

Why the plea offer? Seriously. You can't secure a conviction with all this evidence? Ridiculous.

[@silverbackhayabusa]

Because lawyers aren't in the job for justice. It's quick wins and high volumes. Who cares if people are in and out of jail to re-victimize the public, right?

[@jednick]

Assuming all the charges were prosecuted and she was convicted, it would be unusual for a judge to sentence her to consecutive terms. The six years she got for pleading guilty to the most serious charge- vehicular assault- was probably what she would have gotten for the whole package, anyway.
