I must have missed the day they went over the crucial make a facebook video section of first aid. Not trying to be a dick. But if someone is dying/critically injured right next to you. Your first reaction should NOT be to get out a phone and make a god damn facebook post.

I don't know what injuries the man in Minnesota had. But I know for sure making a video did nothing to help him.

As someone that used to hold an NREMT-P cert I feel the pain, here. But what needs to be taken into account is the cop telling her not to move with his gun drawn, IIRC from the video. The cop showed himself to be a little quick to fire and knowing there ŵas a weapon on him, movement to treat the wound could very well have been interpreted as an attempt to retrieve said weapon.

The culture we have that everything must be caught on video saddens me, especially when people neglect those around them in favor of their phone. But in this situation if I were in her shoes, trained to save a life, I may not have been videoing the events but I don't think I would have begun treating the wounds.

Edit: I was correct, the officer, with weapon still drawn, tells her twice to keep her hand where they are.
