Cop Handcuffs Firefighter For Trying to Protect Crash Victims

While responding to a Tuesday night rollover accident in Chula Vista, Calif., a police officer and firefighter got into a dispute over where the fire engine should park. It ended with the uniformed firefighter in handcuffs.
The California Highway Patrol officer reportedly ordered the firefighter, identified as Jacob Gregoir, to move the fire engine off the center divide or he would be arrested. As he worked the scene and checked the overturned car for more victims, he reportedly told the unidentified officer that he would have to check with his captain.
That’s when the officer decided to detain the firefighter instead.
According to UT San Diego, Gregoir — a fire service veteran of more than 12 years — parked the truck behind an ambulance to provide protection to the emergency responders from oncoming traffic. This is apparently a standard safety procedure fire crews are taught.

In other news, the Chula Vista Sheriff's Department announced it has at least one immediate opening.

What's the fricking thought process here? "Look! There's a news camera, I think I'll arrest a firefighter trying to save someone's life. "
Seriously, he has to be mentally retarded.

Aren't fireman also considered officers of the law? At least the officers I believe have power of arrest.
Seems like by that thinking (if I'm not full of shite) it could just as much be their crime scene and jurisdiction as far as policing goes, especially with injuries on the scene.

And have jurisdiction at an accident scene.
This cop should be fired. Not suspended.

Did that Covington police officer who arrested the football ref relocate to California?

Cop should be fired. Not tomorrow, not next week, but today.
That is absurd.
