A police investigator in western New York has been suspended after he handcuffed an emergency medical technician in a hospital emergency room after she bumped his vehicle while unloading a patient from an ambulance.

The suspension was announced by city police Monday, a week after EMT Lekia Smith was handcuffed at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester. Security video obtained by WHEC-TV shows the investigator backing Smith, a Black woman, into a corner as she stood beside a patient on a stretcher. He grabs her arm, cuffs her hands behind her back and takes her outside.

Smith's lawyer, Elliot Shields, said it started outside after the investigator parked in the ambulance bay. The EMT got out of her ambulance to unload a patient and hit the police car with her door. The investigator asked for her identification, but Smith explained she had to get her patient inside first.

So a vacation? Jesus.

This shouldn't be a story. Let's talk about all the smash and grabs and hate crimes.

I don't get why there paid when on suspension. It should be unpaid an if innocent then they get back pay🤷‍♂️🤙🏼

Racist Communist ABC7 has to point out that the EMT is black. If she were White, this wouldn't even be reported.

Naw fuck suspension, I know there is a police union but they should stay away on this one and let them fire the cop for endangering a patient and unlawful arrest
