Pregnant woman in labor seeks help from police car, but the policeman is too busy playing games to reject it.

At 10:34 yesterday morning, Mr. Liu's wife gave birth to a big baby boy at the Kunming General Hospital of the PLA. It was his first time as a father, but he didn't show too much joy. The experience of taking his wife, whose water had already broken, to the hospital the previous evening left an unforgettable impression on him.

"When I couldn't get a taxi and couldn't wait for the 120 emergency vehicle, I saw a police car parked by the side of the road and sought help from the officers inside. But they refused to carry us because they were on official duty..." Mr. Liu said.

At 3:23 PM yesterday, the Wuhua police department posted on its official Weibo account: "The police take very seriously the incident you have reflected upon, and the investigation has already been launched by the Discipline Inspection Commission."

● Self-narration: "The policeman was playing games and wouldn't help"

At 11:20 PM, my wife came out of the bathroom and told me a bad news - her water might have broken! I suddenly felt at a loss, so I picked up the phone and asked a doctor friend for help. "You must send the pregnant woman to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. If the situation is serious, it may even threaten the life of the fetus." My friend's urgent words made me start to feel anxious.

At 11:35 PM, I decided to immediately send my wife to the Kunming General Hospital of the PLA, which is less than one kilometer from our home.

At 11:40 PM, I helped my wife stand by the road in Daguang River Zhanxin Farmers Market to hail a taxi, but most taxis were occupied. Of the few empty ones, even if they saw us waving, they wouldn't stop. Although I also thought about calling 120, waiting for the ambulance probably wouldn't be fast enough. Out of necessity, I could only carefully support my wife and slowly walk towards the hospital step by step.

At 11:50 PM, we walked to the Huanxi Bridge intersection, which was about 300 meters away from the hospital. "Quick, look! There are some policemen over there," my exhausted wife suddenly pointed and shouted loudly. Beside the parking lot of the Provincial Ethnic Affairs Commission, there was a mobile checkpoint of Daguan Police Station, with a police car parked beside it. My wife asked me: "Will the police help us?" I replied without hesitation: "Don't worry, the police will definitely help us."

But what happened next left me unforgettable for life. When I saw a policeman sitting in the police car, I tapped on the window and asked him urgently: "My wife is about to give birth, and now I can't get a taxi. Can you use the police car to send us to the hospital?"

He looked up at me and answered: "We are on official duty, we cannot leave arbitrarily." Then he continued fiddling with his phone. I saw him playing a game, a game that I once played too, but at this moment, it had no attraction to me, instead, I felt repulsion. I took out my phone and took pictures of the police car, snapping three times. The lens recorded the license plate number: Yun A2××× Police. At that moment, I had already decided to expose him online.

Seeing no hope for help, my wife shed tears of sorrow. Then, I forcibly stopped a taxi. The driver and the little girl inside were very understanding. The driver said that there was a concert at the City Stadium that night, so it was difficult to get a taxi.

At 12:10 AM, we arrived at the hospital.

● Posting: Mr. Liu: "Kunming's police are too numb!"

At 1:01 AM yesterday, Mr. Liu used the online name "Panda Little Hero" to post his first message on Weibo, briefly narrating the couple's experience, and said: "Kunming's police are too numb!" At the same time, he also uploaded the photo of the police car he had taken.

"When we saw the police, it was like seeing hope. But then we found out that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. You are the people's police! My wife cried, and I said it wasn't worth it!"

Subsequently, Mr. Liu sent out multiple tweets: "Isn't the duty of the police to deal with emergencies? Are they just sending high school students to exams and appearing on TV reports showing their good side!" After his wife gave birth, Mr. Liu posted a picture of his son and thanked the netizens who cared about them.

● Response: Wuhua Police Department: "Already under investigation by the Discipline Inspection Commission"

Yesterday noon, a police officer from Daguan Police Station said that he didn't know much about this matter, and interviews must be approved by the Political Department.

The reporter contacted Yao Zhihong, Director of the News Office of the Kunming Municipal Public Security Bureau. He said that he already knew that this event was being hotly discussed online, and he had already notified the relevant departments to investigate as soon as possible. However, currently, based solely on Mr. Liu's statement, it is difficult to determine the truth of the matter. Before the investigation results come out, the police temporarily do not find it appropriate to respond.

"Is there any regulation that says police officers on duty cannot leave their posts regardless of what happens?" the reporter asked. Yao Zhihong said that this is a complicated issue, and it would be better to wait until the facts of the matter are clear before discussing it further.

At 3:23 PM, the Wuhua police department posted on its official Weibo account: "Thank you all for your attention. Currently, the Wuhua police department takes very seriously the incidents you have reported, and the investigation has already been launched by the Discipline Inspection Commission."

Subsequently, Yao Zhihong also posted on his Weibo: "At midnight this morning, a male and female passed by the fixed checkpoint of Daguan Police Station and normally said that the woman was about to give birth. Yunnan University Hospital was nearby, but due to weapons and equipment at the checkpoint, the request was not granted. The police were using police communication devices." He hoped to contact the parties involved as soon as possible and provide the situation promptly.

● Discussion: Some believe not to persist endlessly

Some netizens said: "Why do police officers go on duty? Isn't saving lives exactly what you should be doing while on duty?"

Other netizens expressed different views. "Qinghu66" said: "Do you think police cars are ambulances? Do you think police officers are doctors?" Some netizens believed that the parties involved exaggerated too much, hoping that more people would pay attention to whether the mother and child were safe rather than not letting go of this small incident along the way.
