"“Based on my training, education, experience I was concerned flipping the male victim over. I was concerned it could cause cervical or spinal injury and maybe kill him. I don’t know if he’s dead or not. I run back to my car to see if I have more gloves to see if I can search for any vital signs at that time rescue arrived.”
NOTHING I have seen reported in the Miami media (always eager to bash cops) has indicated that any efforts she might have applied would have saved these kids' lives!
One report I saw said the Fire/Rescue team was there less than THREE minutes after being called...the tragic story is that someone did kill these kids, but it wasn't the cop who arrived on the scene.
Essentially, it appears as though the injuries were so bad that there was no realistic possibility of saving them. Sad, I know...but lashing out at this cop doesn't make sense to me.

Irrelevant. She had no way of knowing at the time whether or not any assistance she gave would help or not. It appears she didn't even bother to take a pulse.
Meanwhile, the off duty cop on the scene WAS taking action and requested she assist on the other victim. (“I got no response. She just stood there,” he told the news station.) My take is that she just froze. She's being criticized for that.
