Interference in lifesaving

2017-08-17 16:30:29.182907+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Why Did A State Trooper Try To Stop Medics From Performing CPR On Heather Heyer?

I assume it is not correct state trooper protocol to interfere with or attempt to halt CPR on an unresponsive patient who just lost her pulse and respirations. And, to their credit, it appears all the other state troopers were assisting street medics in treating the other casualties on the scene. Why this one tried to force us to abandon Heather Heyer, with no intention of providing CPR himself, I will never understand.

The thing about having hung out with extreme sports folks is that... well... yeah, cops often get in the way of lifesaving and rescue operations. I wish we could change that.
