Oklahoma state trooper Daniel Martin pulled over an ambulance that was carrying a patient because the driver of the van refused to yield to the officer and allegedly gave the officer an obscene hand-gesture. A cell phone video-camera operated by the patient's son captured the confrontation, which escalated to a scuffle with a paramedic, who was in the back of the van with the patient during the initial exchange.http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/06/16/earlyshow/main5091281.shtml
