Wow?

You seem shocked.....

Why?

#1. Because they didn’t follow standard procedure?

#2. Because they got suspended?

#3. Or because the union obviously isn’t going to back their asses?

I’m going to go way out on a limb and pick number 3.

No, genius, because this takes a lot of the focus off of the cops—that is, it would if it were to be highlighted by the media as it should.

Seeing that the EMTs did follow standard procedure, and seeing that suspension is the usual response to an investigation, the surprising aspects would be that they were suspended without pay and were thrown under the bus by their union.

The union representative (who probably hasn't seen the inside of an ambulance in years) basically lied to the press and said that the EMTs were supposed to give him oxygen.

They are only required to do that if his breathing is noticeably labored.

They checked his pulse, they saw he was breathing, they put him on the gurney.

They did their job.

But the union rep, Israel Miranda - like all union reps - is a politician first, last and always.

The left is running with this nonsense, it's looking like a lucrative witchhunt, and he'd rather to the popular thing than the right thing.
