Agree with your post except that the cops did their best. All rookies except Chauvin. Should have gotten Ambulance sooner and gone directly to hospital.
“Should have gotten Ambulance sooner and gone directly to hospital.”
The police called for an ambulance as soon as Floyd said he couldn’t breath. Then they called again with a higher response time. The only way they could have gotten an ambulance sooner would be dispatch it with the police call, which would be counter productive because the medics aren’t coming till they know the scene is safe. As far as going directly to the hospital, I can tell you from personal experience that’s not always the thing to do. In my case, stopping and picking up a medic from another ambulance, instead of going straight to the hospital, probably saved my life.
