so here is what i wanted to put up today.
you know how we have been hearing that CPR was never given to Scott, that Slager and Habersham never did any CPR and they all falsified their reports blah blah blah

at 16:55 Habersham radios in Scott’s wound location for EMS. he gives Scott’s status as “unresponsive” (which is unconscious but breathing and a pulse )
at 17:30 Habersham radios “i’ve started chest compression” ( that’s CPR ! )
so the NYT claimed to have listened to this whole thing and claims no CPR. every other news organization just copies this no CPR crap and didn’t check either.
they are still stringing out articles based on this. here is one from the LA Times today.

what the hell kind of reporting is this ?
I can’t figure out the reporting myself, but we’ve always got to remember.....these papers and shows all have an agenda to benefit their own bottom line.
Yeah, they gave CPR, that’s why he lay on his stomach the whole time. uh huh.
Really? You think that just because he radioed that he started CPR that that proves he did?
what is scary is that the second cop apparently (also?) has a compensating CYA/CYBA attitude and procedure.
[CYBA == covering your buddy’s ass]
Beyond that, I agree that the reporting is shoddy. But we have been seeing shoddy reporting for decades on FR. This just adds to the mix, Rashomon style. Hopefully we on FR have our MSM blinders off.
It is interesting that the witness also has a compensating procedure. He (1) started filming well before the fatal shots were taken; (2) provided generally accurate contemporaneous commentary; and (3) deliberately delayed providing the damning evidence to police, waiting for what in hindsight now appears to be the beginning of what would otherwise become the inevitable police coverup procedure.
in a word, it is all about procedures (good, bad, and ugly).
