There seem to be continuous waves of people posting fragmentary information which is both out-of-date and wrong.
The Probable Cause document for charging the ex-officer with 3rd degree murder points out that ON VIDEO one of the other policemen checks the guy for a pulse, and doesn’t find one.
He tells Mr. Kneecap and Mr. Kneecap not only doesn’t start CPR, he doesn’t even check the pulse for himself, and *keeps his knee on the guy’s neck*.
The paramedics made a statement *days ago* that they were summoned to treat a guy with a mouth injury, and that they were surprised to find the victim unresponsive and without a pulse.
“The paramedics made a statement *days ago* that they were summoned to treat a guy with a mouth injury, and that they were surprised to find the victim unresponsive and without a pulse.”
They may have said they were surprised but the video shows no concern. Checked pulse, walked back to bus and casually prepared the stretch all the while cop still had him pinned down.
I had wondered about the uniforms. In my search I found the report. The two that got the stretcher and put him in the bus were MFD members called to support. I guess no one told the ambulance crew there was a nonresponsive body outside they needed to attend to.
