Somethings up.
They can't keep the whole coasline of the southern US off limits.

Everyone, send in your pics, video.
Obviously Daddy hasn't plugged the hole yet. Mark my words – this will still be leaking after the new year.

If Bush were the President, all the 'Big Boys & Girls" from CBS, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, etc. would have set up remote broadcasts from the coast, and would have been doing the news nightly from the oil-inundated shore – just to keep the mess in everybody's face day-in & day-out – and drive home how incompetent he is.

How did they manage to drag that pig away from the trough long enough to harrass that little gal?

Dammed Union members ruining everything. Hey, arent they government workers too. these cops HAVE TO GO.

I thought Obama was not getting any cleaning done. looks like there is some work getting done.

this woman seems like quite a nosy beeeotch

The only thing missing is the claims of racism! If she were in the ambulance perhaps she would have respected the request for privacy. All this C**T is interested in is make news, any way possible.

i guess she needs to know everyones business on the beach and in the ambulance

she lied and said she was a tourist. LIAR

panic attack my azz !! she was in full blown beeotch mode.

Might want to be careful, a lot of people on the Gulf Coast are going to start getting sick, but don't worry, Obama's been there since day 1, he's in charge, they've got their boot on the neck of BP and have already gotten $20,000,000,000 from them

please taze her BRO !!!

I hope someone organizes all of the private video footage so we can get the real story down in the gulf. Granted Obama is a fool and has never run anything in his life, so why would the gulf oil spill be handled correctly.

What do you think will happen to healhcare when Obama tries to run it?

Since the English language gives you trouble, I took the pleasure of using the dictionary to help you out…

Seems like this MORON Taguba has a problem with a lot of God Given American RIGHTS.
lol…What a fool… do you really think that Obama has the right to seal the Gulf Coast like he has sealed his education and student aid documents?

THIS IS AMERICA YOU ASSH—!

Freedom of the "Press" only goes so far. When you intentionally butt into other peoples businees for no good reason, then those freedoms stop. She was unwilling to take the word of the people on scene and just had to know something that frankly was none of her damn business. Typical liberal rant about "their" rights being denied and yet they fail to realize that others have rights too. Like the sick/injured person also has a right to privacy. She is not a "news" commentator or reporter so basically I see no reason for her to put her nose into somebody else's problem. It was obvious that they did not want to talk to her. She then can banter on about her rights all she wants cause they end when she prattles on making a nuicance of herself. I have little sympathy for the news media in general and none at all for those nosey "docu-drama" drama queens. As far as the cop bullying her, all she had to do was comply with his directions.

For as much as I am for people video taping to be able to present more to a story, this lady should have respected the privacy of the person in the ambulance. There are some pretty high quality cameras and microphones out there, how are the officials to know that she is not invading the person's privacy? Considering the ambulance is essentially a doctor's office on wheels, does she think she has the right to stand outside of a doctor's office with her camera pointed into an open window?

The person's illness may have been due to the oil, it may have been due to heat stroke, it may have been any number of things. The "videographer" excuses her own stupid remarks as panic, then condemns the officer for his stupid remarks, which were obviously intended to distract her and get her away from the scene. Unless something actually incriminating comes about, I see no issue with the video other than two nosy ladies.

Now for those of you who think this is about the cops your wrong.
This cop probably is a very good honest cop, but obviously has taken a position, ( naively I believe)
He has decided he is going to protect the interest of the workers at the site and thinks the video taker is nuisance
( we dont know what the workers told him prior to he approaching the woman )
The people of the town should communicate with there local police and work together. It will only help
to have them on THEIR side ! MOST police will always side with the truth!

I think if he thought about it he would have acted differently .

This entire thing is wrong. The level of mistrust is high and it is probably well-founded. Its could be heatstroke, happens every day but we are on edge and looking for the truth even if we have to make one up.

WTF ?

The woman doing the videoing was fifty feet away….GIVE ME A BREAK!

That's capitalism – BP has the capital and makes the rules.

Look, if you don't want people videotaping you, DON'T GO TO A PUBLIC PLACE

it's that simple. The story isn't the injured guy or girl, it's how or why they were injured, and the story is BP and how the Government is now taking orders from them… isn't it funny what kind of power $20,000,000,000 will buy you.

If the woman had stuck her head in the ambulance and they said hey get out it's heat stroke… there is no story…. They lied to her right off the bat, and you'd think any liberal with half a brain out there, would recognize the police taking orders from someone else, and then not acting like they should.

Did the officer say anything about the persons privacy…. no, what did that BP guy say to him when he walked up to him? Why wouldn't he get his supervisor on the phone, why not even tell the woman who your supervisor is….

I did not see any bullying on the part of the officer. The woman openly lied, and disobeyed the officers request. She was disrespectful to the ill person in the ambulance. She sounded like a freaking shrew, and her discription of the events happening are not exactly what I saw filmed. Did this nitwit, consider for one second, that the officer may not have known the exact nature of all of events taking place in the ambulance. I found her behaviour extremely rude. I felt the officer handled the situation in a very professional manner. He spent more time dealing with her intrusive tomfoolery than I would have.

If some unfortunate incident happened in your life, would any of you want her showing up on your front lawn demanding her constitutional rights. I think not!

This lady had no business getting so close and interferring in a medical emergency. It's the same on the Gulf coast as it is anywhere else. Let the responders do their job and leave them alone. They have enough on their hands and don't need gawkers to start crowding them and taking away their resources.

I think she's a whiney pain

c'mon your messing around with raw oil, people are gonna get sick from it. I can't say if I got sick I would want cameras all around me either.

People can say what they want about the cop, but the woman with the camera was kinda pokin' around wherever she wanted. As far as I know she didn't have any type of credentials (at least she showed none) and then on top of that, what was she gonna do ??? Jump in the ambulance video whoever was sick and yell "Got'ca"?

It was a good video up in to the point where it was like she felt she should like get into the ambulance or something. She should of just kept video taping the beach and then just mentioned or video taped that people are at least to her knowledge getting sick from it. It didn't need to turn into a drama queen moment.

Okay, then explain to me simply why when she approached the ambulance, she wasn't told please we have a medical emergency, etc..

They told here there was nothing going on, that nobody was in the ambulance, etc…..

If you'd simply explained the situation at the beginning, NOTHING WOULD OF HAPPENED

A lot of people hired to clean the beaches when the Exxon Valdez disaster occurred suffered respiratory injury. It's obvious the "regime" is deliberately keeping reporters away from the beaches. Maybe the person being tended by the EMTs is a victim of working with the oil cleanup and the responders are trying to keep it hush-hush. The attitude of the cop isn't exactly stellar either, but doesn't the attitude of the videographer sound like your stereotypical snotty reporter, whose only interest is "the story" i.e., the bleeding narrative?

If you relook at the video again you will see the real truth. Not a single person working to clean up the beach's. Just lots of people and equipment sitting doing nothing, when there's clearly clumps of oil everywhere.

Don't forget the fresh brand new tractors… looks like the red paint hasn't even dried yet. Probably not even American made

- This woman is a creep with a camera who was itching for an argument for the sake of arguing and acting like a victim. Why is someone experiencing a medical emergency any of her business. Would she or anyone want someone sticking a camera in their face while being taken to the hospital?

The real truthy facts is what we needs.

The tractors are Komatsus, Japanese. More dependable, better made thanks to the scum unions in America who demand mediocrity.

LOL, look at that fat lard a$$ cop. What a joke. Whale on the beach!

Lou http://www.web-anonymity.au.tc

Becasue it was none of here damned business. Common sense. If you had a heart attack and were sitting in an ambulance in front of your house, would you want some nosey person to show up trying to videotape you inside the amulance? Would you want one of the responders to take his attention away from you and go answer the nosey person's questions?

"Yes ma'am, Mr. SubjectofUSSA just had a heart attack, We just gave him a shot of adrenaline. Now we're charging the paddples up. It doesn't look good for him right now. Do you have any more questions? Would you like us all to move out of your way so you can videotape him looking all purple so you can post it to Youtube?"

"relook ….again" "real truth"? Your illiteracy is forgiven. Did you ever consider that the film was being made by someone looking for controversy instead of oil clumps? Pathetic.

Looks like a big stink about nothing. What if it is just an individual who had a heat related problem or some non-oil spill related problem and they don't want their personal medical problem broadcast. Called personal medical privacy. This is your "panic" attack? Get a life.

ROFLMAO! Great Comment!

My question is…if there are sand cleaning machines, (like in Florida and Cal) that rake the entire beach in a matter of hours…..why aren’t they using them? They are like big
zambohnies that remove pop tops, plastic, debris, and the like. Why can’t they fashion a plastic bag on those and clean up?

I did notice the workers were all very dark skin. My guess is they are illegal union material, probably making $3.00 and hour.

I agree the fumes coming from the oil is strong. People have said they smell it from their homes miles away from the beach. I suppose like breathing gasoline. Plus the danger of fire is probably a hazard since you only need fumes to explode gasoline, not sure how it works on water with oil.

My God, this cop hasn't seen his feet for years! Obviously a Democrat KKK member.

The Good News is this Fat Blotted Fool will have a massive heart attack before the year is over.

Im sure the work had a toxic reaction to the deadly gasses coming from the oil leak..They are with holding

this information..so as not to panic the local population.,

This is one of your most intelligent and well thought out posts Goooba.
Keep it up.

Maybe Obambi should look into it – if he's actually heard there's a spill on.

She has no right to know what is going on in that ambulance. She has no right to know if it is a medical emergency or not. It's none of her business.

Actually, it was more likely that the person had a heat injury. As long as they aren't eating globs of oil and take proper care after contact, there should be no medical issues.

There are a lot of gray areas in this situation. The injured person has a right to privacy. The HIPAA Privacy Rule provides federal protections for personal health information held by covered entities and gives patients an array of rights with respect to that information. At the same time, the Privacy Rule is balanced so that it permits the disclosure of personal health information needed for patient care and other important purposes.

The woman had no right to know what the emergency was. There could have been any number of scenarios for the patient in the ambulance. The EMS personnel may have to undress a patient for treatment, etc., whatever the case she has no right to any answers from the people involved in the emergency, they are not allowed by law to discuss any patient's condition.

However, once she moved farther away and stopped asking questions the police officer did push the issue, but she was also making a scene. Just because we are on public property and have rights as Americans it does not supersede the rights of those involved in an emergency situation. Would anyone disregard a police officer at the scene of an accident or a fire? Common sense should always lead.

The woman was antagonizing and looking for an argument. The entire situation should have been a non issue and it's not even worthy of a headline. I'm certain there is substantial amount of information being hidden from the American people regarding the disastrous effects of the oil spill, and the press should be out there in droves, but this was not the time or the place to address that issue.

Bingo!

Sounds and looks like the officer committed a classic case of "Violation Under Color of Law".

Taguba is rolling through in his underwear and clicking the thumbs down on all the good posts and clicking thumbs up on his buddy's.

Nothing to see here folks….move along

I guess these people are looking for a confrontation or they would go more covert with the video camera – of course if it was concealed in a donut it would have been swallowed by this leviathan. Maybe concealed in a croissant it would be safer. LOL

It's good to know that it's OK to lie to the cops…

To all LEO'S: we are on your side. Please do your job and enforce the law and don't give anybody any "reason" to fight you. Please, please, please. When the left comes unglued, we will be on your side, please be on ours by enforcing the laws equitablly. No law was broken and this officer had no reason to step in.

If you go to her website http://www.cravatt.com and read her Bio, she is a genuine Liberal whacktard that is into some really weird stuff. She sounds like a typical Left Winger who has a serious delay in Education completion, as no doubt she spent years trying to "find herself". She has openly done work for the Marxist, American hating mayor of Los Angeles. God knows what else she has filmed.

The bigger point here is why the media blackout, there are reports of people getting sick from the dispersal agents. I have also read this is a super well, these normally penetrate the magma layer of the earths crust, their are some hideous gases belched from those depths. Rumor has it the well casing is busted well below the ocean floor and the oil and gas are escaping through cracks in the oceans floor, and there are oil plumes as far as 20 miles from the well head. If that is true, the relief well is not going to stop this leak.

I know I may catch some static here, but the Police Officer did not do anything wrong, as far as I could see.

There was, as he said, a medical emergency in progress. I could see from the video that the situation was already being made worse by the fact that the 1st ambulance had broken down (hense the reason for the hood being open) and they had all the doors open to prevent overheating inside the vehicle. So the last thing they needed was any non-essential personel getting in the way.

The two ladies video taping, where not just attempting to findout what had happened, initially, they were interfering with the patients right to privacy by getting in to close and videotaping what was happening inside of the ambulance. The emergency workers and the Police Officer were not attempting to "Cover for BP", or "Cover for the Government", or any other B.S. conspiracy thoeries, they were simply protecting their patients right to privacy while being treated. Plain and Simple.

Maybe he looked at her and saw lunch!

Ain't exactly a way to endear yourself with a cop. A very big cop. Lefty looking for story, lord knows how it will come out, when she passes the video to Chrissy or Keith.

So. What's her agenda? There has to be an agenda of some kind. Is she pro – people affected by the spill? Is she anti-government reactrion to the spill? Is she a public watchdog (like Yorkie, or a Chihuahua)?

I'm not sure I "get" what is motivating her. Filming a sick person doesn't really seem to be it.

Just another faux case of lifelong disability…for a black man…womb to tomb…the only way they get it now…end it nov2 or be their slaves.

1. Buy a tripod.

2. This is much ado about nothing — and such ridiculous grandstanding by one woman undermines legitimate "citizen journalism".

3. It's one thing to bring a camera out and to capture something untoward, something that needs to be brought to the light. (The ACORN "sting" did this well.) But it's another thing altogether to film NOTHING of note, add creepy music, and cry "conspiracy".

4. Keep the cameras on BP, the Police, and by all means the Obama administration. But don't publicize your video just because it's YOUR video. The story is the abuse of power, not your own "heroism". Where there's no abuse of power, such videos are mere posturing.

Yea I'm sure the fumes from it day in and day out working as a cleanup crew doesn't mess with the nasal or lungs at all. Have you ever smelt raw oil before? Even tar balls? It has fumes like you wouldn't believe you can smell it miles away.

Your right however, it could be heat related. I don't dispute that, or maybe whoever hit their head on a trash can. But I saw a bunch of guys standing around in the sun, it didn't seem all that hot no one was really sweating it out there as it looked to me. On the beach here in Texas it can be 98 degrees 200% humidity and feel cool at the beach. It's in the city that people die from heat related issues. Dang all that concrete makes it hotter that hell.

Interesting how the nosy B knew what was said between the cop and the guy who approched his truck. Too bad she didn't enhance that part of her tape. (Yes, that's a sarcastic comment.) I wear an ID on a lanyard around my neck at my job and half the time it's turned backwards. What time was this filmed? Were the workers on lunch break? Or do they not work in the heat of the day like many southern outdoor workers? She and her 'producer' friend need to go back to journalism 101 and learn some basics of information gathering. Or, on the other hand, she could probably get a job with the MSM. Shame on you, Breitbart TV for running such a poor video on your site.

that was my take on it… It was a bad issue all the way around. BP has such tight lip about the whole thing you know whatever they say is to down play everything…

The police here or one of the guys standing should of just said what happened, didn't have to mention names and she would of been on her way. It really wasn't "news worthy" it just seems a bunch of people, the woman recording, the cop, etc all handled the thing wrong. But of course everything about the Deepwater Horizon seems to be "handled" wrong as well…

Guess that happens when God hits ya with something you never saw coming…

And Obama got a crap load of money from them too.

Idiot.

but according the GOP , everything is her business.

Why does everything have to be a conspriacy. she was butting in and they said GTFO.

In a "state of emergency" special rules kick in. Remember news crews could NOT get to the Superdome in NO after Katrina for several days. They were blocked by police…remember Geraldo and Shep ranting on the bridge cause nobody was allowed into the city proper?

And yes they CAN close those beaches. They are lethal. And they CAN keep folks away from them, for their safety. They can keep folks out of the water. And they CERTAINLY can keep folks away from THEIR work crews and operations. They can do it for the same reason they use when there's an accident anywhere. The first thing the cops and first responders do all over the country is to cordon off the immediate area and ask folks to step back.

There are any number of reasons for that from safety issues to forensic issues to privacy issues. This videographer, even though she wasn't meaning to do harm, photographed the face of the injured/sick worker.

So much for HER patient's right to privacy. Try bringing a camera into a doctor's office or hospital. See how far you get filming folks. Maybe she didn't realize it's against the law to film medical patients. Remember Princess Diana's accident….the police literally had to muscle reporters out of the way so the doctor could get to her.(French ambulances have actual physicians on board) The press would not even step back to let the medical folks in.

Photographers are NOT FREE ANYWHERE IN THE US TO walk up to ambulances and try to film what's going on. No anywhere . Try it in your town. See how that works out. You'll be told to step back a certain distance and if you don't you can be charged with interfering with emergency personal or a crime scene. Either way….that is the way it works. No exception. Footage of accidents is usually taken BEFORE emergency responders and police arrive. And the first thing they do is tell folks to step back and clear the scene..and it isn't a request.

Then you have the elephant in the room.

The worker was sick. That sand and the water are FULL OF DANGEROUS AND TOXIC GAS AND CRUDE. CANCER CAUSING AGENTS. DANGEROUS TO ANYONE WHO'S BREATHING THEM IN OR GETTING THEM ON THEIR SKIN. That would be why the beach is closed. It's full of lethal crap. Workers even with special respirators are only allowed to work 20 minutes out of each hour. And STILL a worker got sick.

Yes….the cop and security agents were unprofessional….but what they did was not only legal, but not at all suspicious or unreasonable. If YOU'RE in an ambulance, do you want some tourist stickin a camera in and filming you?

The cop was a jerk. Haven't we ALL MET A COP WHO ACTED LIKE A JERK? Some cops act like jerks. But her panic attack was mellerdramer. Woo… big fat tub o lard with his hands at his sides or in his pockets and his voice NEVER RAISED "loomed" at her causing a panic attack.

Um…..as a physician let me just say that folks having a PANIC ATTACK MOVE AWAY FROM WHAT IS SCARING THEM. THEY DON'T STAND THERE AND ARGUE WITH A PERSON TWICE THEIR SIZE IF THEY ARE SCARED ENOUGH TO HAVE A PANIC ATTACK.

Sorry, strike three.

Oh…and the reason everyone turned away from the cameras is that BP the folks PAYING THEM, have told them that ANYONE who talks to anyone or allows the media in to film scenes like this WILL BE FIRED. These people are locals whose businesses have been hurt by this spill. BP not only hired them but is paying some of them $1000 a day to clean that spill up. They aren't ABOUT to risk losing the one job they will get this season by talking to anybody their boss says not to talk to.

On a legal note, this woman will be damn lucky if that worker, after seeing her face plastered all over the internet, doesn't SUE HER!

Being a citizen does NOT give folks the right to invade the PRIVACY of anyone they decide to film and slap up on the internet. This worker and patient HAD EVERY LEGAL RIGHT TO THE EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY. SHE IS NOT A CELEBRITY, A POLITICIAN, OR ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR. AND SHE WAS EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY.

I agree that they DON'T want pictures of that oil on our beautiful beaches or the poor animals being harmed or killed by this slick…..and that is wrong….but this videographer picked the WRONG FIGHT. She should have filmed the water, the beach, and the extent of the oil damage, and left the woman in the ambulance alone.

They are both assh***s and that's not going to change anytime soon.

not in the Russia I worked in ………. not the word used at all

your first paragraph is wrong in a few ways.

his name tag not clearly visible, his man titties forcing it upward, his pager is BP issue ………… he withdrew pretty dammed quickly when threatened with his supervisor, wrongs on both sides but i come down just on the side of the video producer, mainly for one reason, in the next few months video will all we will have to fight with

Oh come on, tabloid journalism. It's simple do what the police ask you to do, the police were well within their rights. A high school journalist could have done better.

I think the officer was doing his job. I like oil, plastic,disposable diapers, being warm in the winter and modern life. I like BP. Accidents happen. Bacteria will eat the oil. Oil is old plant material. The oceans can flush and take care of this. BP hasn't been found guilty in a court of law. Why are they paying 20 billion dollars.? Would like to pay a heavy fine without having your day in court? I live in Alaska. I was here during the Exxon Valdez accident. Alot of scamming of Exxon went on.

If you consider dumping sand on the oil cleaning, then yes, there's cleaning being done.

The hole is still spewing oil. It's been 81 days.

Looks like Axelrod has a small army of morons trolling the Big Sites at taxpayer expense. Pathetic.

Was the worker a victim of heat stroke or exposure to something toxic – or what? I guess we'll never know. Privacy for the victim is one thing, but if workers are dropping because of something lethal on the beach, the public has a right to know.

This was an unfortunate confrontation all the way around. This sort of thing will be fodder for Obama's plan to license journalists.

America is on the brink of a new civil war. Big corporations and big government are two pieces of the same vise, squeezing the life and liberty out of America.

BP is just taking orders from Obama.

same story, my rights always but not yours. in truth,when a police officer tells you to move or to leave the area you are required to obey that order or face arrest, it is the law that most of us respond to as a adult, but a punk little LIB always has more rights than the rest of us. It is really sad to see America go down this dead end road, SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL POLICE.

Listen up folks, this probably wasn't anything other somebody with a case of heat sickness…

However, there is a large lesson to be learned here….as I have said before our best weapons in the fight against this type of stuff is two things.

The first is the internet, the second is just what you see here….a citizen armed with a video camera !

I carry one with me at ALL times…

THE TRUTH IN ANY FORM, VIDEO OR OTHERWISE IS WHAT WILL WIN OUR BATTLE….

Yes, cleaning up 10 gallons for every 60,000 spilled, quite a feat! You should be very proud Bagboy.

What do you think will happen to healhcare when Obama tries to run it?

I try not to think about that, Earl. akkkkk

ohhhhh noooooo, Mr Bill.

Thing is, I saw people on the beach so it doesn't appear closed and the cop never told her it was closed.
Am I missing something?
(She was irritating BTW)

this woman is a pest.

No one is taking her camera. No one stopped her from filming. The fact is someones medical condition is protected by federal law. She did not know that person and she was making that cop waste his time. I have been down to gulf shores working on other unrelated projects for the past two months and it's not a police state, I assure you.

Omigod! This guy's gut is a coastline. Why is he still a cop? GROSS.

Dave,
Watch it again. She only ended up fifty feet away after the security guards and the cop "frightened" her away. She was not only standing next to the BP workers at the side of the ambulance but watch the film, she follows them around to the back of it before they called the cops and told her to move on off. Then the cop talked her the rest of the way out…..but not before she made damn sure she got a shot of the sick worker's face being loaded into the paramedic unit and plastered it all over the internet.

Invasion of privacy on steroids. She had no business in the emergency area. She was fine on the beach, even filmed some other folks there in swim suits….not in the water though. It was only when she literally BUTTED IN ON THE EMERGENCY WORKERS that she crossed the line, and she did crossed many, legal, ethical, and journalistic.

From her dialog SHE WAS THERE FOR THE STORY SHE GOT. She was there with a predetermined agenda and she justified her personal politics by provoking folks who otherwise ignored her until she forced the issue.

In other words, all the things we condemn real MSM for doing. Starting with a bias and justifying it with her actions. Sorry this is not what folks need to see re the spill.

They need to go to the salt marshes, go to Grand Isle, hardest hit, and film the black tar beaches and the gooey brown dying marshes. And the poor creatures. She needs to be shooting stuff that will matter many years from now to the states, the environment, they people of the region and us, and the wildlife and marine life, not a worker who got sick.

That is a whole other story….an Erin Brokovich story.

Benzene is EVERYWHERE down there in high concentrations as well as other carcinogens. These will leech into the water table, the lakes and streams. The damage from this spill on land and underground is still occuring, and folks can go to these places, smell the air, see black tar beaches report that carnage and the devastation of the economy of the region.

Civil War is coming. My Father is God, not the Government. Jesus was correct when he said they will throw you in prison and even kill you for your beliefs. Faith brings Freedom, something the Government tries to take away slowly but surely. America, there are millions of us who will lay down their lives for their brothers.

So Hussein is trying to hide the oil spill, with the help of the State-run Media. I would be bet this cop is in the pocket of some Socialist-Democrat.

Scratch a reactionary leftist, find the fascist gibbering underneath.

If the media were doing their job, regular people wouldn't have to do it for them.

" When you intentionally butt into other peoples businees for no good reason, then those freedoms stop."

Bullshit.

"She was unwilling to take the word of the people on scene "

And you would? Your either incedibly naive of dissembling.

You aren't missing anything,

I don't think that beach was closed. I saw the sunbathers too. Had she stayed with the tar balls in the sand, the stains, even gone into the shallows to film she would have been fine. Her interference in a medical emergency was where she went off the rails.

That said those beach goers were nuts. Those tar balls stick to EVERYTHING and they're the devil to get out. Galveston had them one year a long time ago and it was just miserable. We stayed about an hour, my kids feet and swimsuits were totally covered in goo…..so after that we stuck with deck chair sunbathing, evening and morning walks in shoes and hit the Hotel swimming pool for the water.

Sad too. I love the Gulf and the salty water and waves. I love sittin just where the last bit of waves wash up and diggin for those little clams and crabs…yum.

You have to be kidding me?

Are you unaware that the Liberal media, which btw is most of the media, isn't reporting on the oil spil?. Do you see Brad Pitt or Shakira out there trying to raise money to help clean up the beaches or help the people out who've lost their jobs? This cop was probably on the dole of some local Socialist-Democrat, and the word has come down from above that we can't have people seeing anymore of the dead animals or oil on the beaches because we're getting close to November and Hussein's numbers in the polls are dropping like a rock and that isn't helping the Socialists..

Her point, which you seem to have missed, is that people could be getting sick from cleaning this stuff up. If that is happening, then that's a big story! And, if that is the case then that would explain why no one is cleaning up the beaches.

She's a regular citizen who is outraged that this stuff isn't getting reported and she's afraid of this cop, and that's why she's so nervous, but she is so angry and that emotion is so strong that it is overcoming her fear. You see it as confrontational, but she isn't doing anything different than a reporter should be doing. Bravo to her!!

Give me a break! If this was a reporter you wouldn't think twice. Would you be talking about this now if it wasn't for her?

To all of you who criticize this woman — she's done a good thing, whether you like her or not. Would you be talking about this if it wasn't for those two women? You all whine about her getting too close to the ambulance. I see reporters getting that close all the time and I bet you wouldn't think twice then.

Are you serious?

If this was a professional journalist I'd be callin for his resignation or for him to be fired! I'm givin this lady the benefit of the doubt since she's not journalist. If this was a pro I'd read them the riot act!

And what I'm talkin about isn't RELEVANT OR IMPORTANT with regard to the spill. Has nothin to DO with the environmental tragedy visited on MY Gulf Coast, MY beloved Gulf beaches. What her piece is about is a hit piece. She provokes a situation and then reports it like it's a crime.

She broke more than a few laws with this piece and that's all most folks are talkin about.

NOT ABOUT THE SPILL, NOT ABOUT THE BIGGEST GODDAM ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER IN US HISTORY, NOT ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF THE GULF WHO WILL SUFFER FINANCIALLY AND WILL DIE FROM THIS, OR THOSE WHO ALREADY DID, NOT ABOUT THE IMPACT ON A 1300 MILE REGION OF THIS COUNTRY'S BEACHES.

That's what she SAID she wanted to report. But we talkin about what she DID report. And incident provoked by her that is utterly MEANINGLESS TO ANYONE BUT HER.

And after today and this moves to the back pages, nobody WHO CARES ABOUT THE GULF COAST will ever talk about this stupid story again.

This insane video motivated me to create an account.

This woman is whacked. These people are dealing with emergency vehicles and someone's medical treatment that is by law private and she has no rights to poke her camera in this.

The policeman did an excellent job.

Yeah for competent law enforcement – boo for journalistic wannabees, i.e., fruitcakes.

- I’m very well aware of the liberal media coverage of the oil spill and I watch it every evening on the news. Why do you presume to know so much about the incident depicted in the video or of me? I don’t think I missed her point because she doesn't appear to have a point other than to be a creepy woman with a camera, behaving like an ambulance chasing member of the paparazzi. You sound like a conspiracy theorist looking for boogie men because none of us, including the creepy woman with the video camera, have any idea what was going on there on the beach…

- What’s so shocking about someone getting ill on the beach and requiring medical assistance? An ambulance drives through my neighborhood a couple times a week, but I’m not rushing over to video the injured person being transported to the hospital. If you were cleaning up the beach and became ill would you want her sticking her nose into your business? For all we know the incident captured on the creepy woman’s video was of someone suffering from dehydration or heat stroke. Your conclusions are baseless and conspiratorial. Sometimes a creep with a video camera is just a creep with a video camera and this woman is a creep with a video camera…

Oh, and yeah – besides that, it looked like there were numerous people enjoying the beach, despite a the tar balls. What's with that? Why didn't the doofus interview those people chillin' on the tar beach? I'm sure they would appreciate her witty camera shoved in there face.

The oil spill needs journalistic coverage about the cleanup but this is nothing but citizen with a camera and inflated opinion of importance and ability. hmmm, there, I think I feel better….

Agreed,

As for keepin this hush hush…..obviously that's not workin. And not because of this woman. Hell we've known folks are getting sick there, workers and residents, for weeks. We've seen it. And if someone wants to blow the whistle on BP and report their own or family member's illness….all they have to do is walk away from the job BP gave them and tell their story.

We KNOW what oil does to people…..have for 40 years. Anyone in the business knows folks who work around those rigs, in refineries or have any direct contact with crude get cancer. Benzene's as lethal as asbestos. You pays your money and you takes your chances. Riggers know that.

As for the spill…..they've been goin on for decades and every single on is the same. Ugly, lethal, legal nightmares, medical disasters, and they impact the land and sea for years. There's nothin to cover up.

BP, if Obama keeps pushin them, will declare bankruptcy and walk away. Ever try to get a foreign owned company to do somethin through the international courts? Good luck with that one.

The cop's a local….not federal or Coast Guard. The security guys will be FIRED if they talk to her. And she's a buttinsky who picked the WRONG story to report. All we learned from her big adventure is she is clueless about journalism, nosy, prone to theatrics, and seems to think her rights override everyone else's.

All in all a non story. Sadly, there are MANY IMPORTANT STORIES to be told about this. With these kinds of diversions….they will remain untold. What we need is a pro reporter with the same cajones that DOJ lawyer grew and ratted out Holder. Just one journalist with the gumption to do their job. The story is on Grand Isle. And if just one journalist remembers his job, he could bust it all wide open.

"This lady had no business getting so close and interferring in a medical emergency."

Same b.s. excuse from all the Libs and women haters here.

Hmm… I bet on the next site you're tearing apart the cops. "These people are dealing with emergency vehicles…" blah, blah, blah… You hate the fact she's shining a light on Obama's failure with the oil spill, that's all.

Everyone should be protected. No one should be allowed to be filmed unless they give written consent.
