E17 was started code-two to assist EMS on a call, then updated to code-three. Pre-arrival info stated only that pt had trauma to his mouth. E17 arrived at Cup Foods (38th & Chicago) with multiple squads on scene and small crowd of citizens. As 17s attempted to locate the patient, the crew overheard and was told by several people that the police 'had killed the man.' Bystanders were upset but not unruly. No clear info on pt or location was given by either initial pd officers or bystanders. Crew finally located an officer inside the store who stated HCMC medics had loaded the patient and relocated from the scene. E17 encountered an off-duty firefighter who had witnessed the end of the struggle and witnessed the pt go from struggling to unresponsive on the ground while handcuffed and subdued by PD. Dispatch notified E17 that medics needed Fire code-three, and E17 relocated to 36th & Park Ave.
Two crew members got in ambulance. Medics had Lucas device working on an unresponsive, pulseless male. Pt had advanced airway secured; E17 took over ventilations and also assisted medics getting IV and meds prepared. Crew accompanied medics to HCMC STAB room, continuing w/ ministrations. Medics performed pulse checks several times, finding none, and delivered one shock by their monitor. Pt's condition did not change. E17 helped get pt into STAB room, continuing ventilations until relieved by ER staff.
Killed after he was handcuffed and already subdued. Quite a disturbing video.
This man was murdered in broad daylight with many witnesses recording the event from close proximity. This had to be some type of psychological issue. Cops are taught to assume control of a situation and never relinquish it but this was beyond the pale. He just stayed there with his knee on the man’s neck for several long minutes and the oddest thing was he had his hands in his pockets. That was the most bizarre part. NOBODY teaches that during any type of physical altercation you should put your hands in your pockets. Did he kill this man just to defy the onlookers who were demanding he get his knee off the guy’s neck? Did he intend to kill the guy from the beginning? This has to be one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever seen where this guy completely ignores the crowd of witnesses and just calmly, with his hands in his pockets, murders the suspect. I am at a loss as to what I saw.
Aerial view of protests, youtube. For those who know Minneapolis, this is the 3rd precinct at Minnehaha and Lake St.

But, but...he resisted.
His mother that he was calling out to had passed away 2 years ago. He knew he was dying.
MPD officers are not professionals, they are thugs.
