Stunning video shows a California Highway Patrol officer handcuffing a firefighter who was trying to help victims of a serious car crash in Chula Vista.
The incident occurred on Tuesday night after a car overturned and another fell down an embankment on the 805 Freeway. Chula Vista Firefighter Jacob Gregoire responded to the accident by following standard protocol of parking his fire truck in front of the crash scene to protect the victims as they were being treated and loaded into an ambulance. However, when a CHP officer asked Gregoire to move the truck he refused and returned to helping the crash victims, prompting the officer to handcuff Gregoire and temporarily place him under arrest in front of a TV news camera.
The fire fighter is absolutely correct. There is nothing the fireman did wrong to deserve to be handcuffed and detained. He did not break any laws. I think he just ran into a douche bag cop with an arrogant holier than thou attitude. And god knows, there are too many of those out there.

Cops are arrogant asshats.
