This practice needs to stop for all involved. Keep the phones down.

Over the last couple of months, we have noticed something happening more and more at serious and tragic scenes and it needs to stop.

People are driving through these scenes while passengers hold up their phones, recording what is happening, and then posting those videos on social media.

It may not be illegal for a passenger to record, but that doesn’t make it right.

That person lying alongside the road, inside that vehicle, in a field, in a driveway, or being cared for by first responders is not content.

They are someone’s husband or wife. Dad or mom. Grandpa or grandma. Son or daughter. Brother, sister or friend.

Our first responders take great pride in providing the best care we possibly can while treating victims and their families with dignity, respect and compassion during some of the worst moments of their lives.

Now imagine being in my shoes.

Imagine walking up to a front door knowing that when it opens, you have to tell a husband, wife, parent or child that someone they love is never coming home.

Then imagine that family opening social media and seeing a video of the scene or worse, seeing their loved one recorded by someone driving by.

Plain and simple, stop.

Put the phone down. Give our responders room to work. Give the victim some dignity. Give their family the opportunity to hear the news from us not discover or see their loved ones tragedy on social media.

Before you hit record, remember:

THAT IS NOT A SCENE and THAT IS A PERSON.

Please show them the same compassion you would want shown to your own family if that was you.
