#NBCNews #Paramedics #Court
The media loves when stuff like this happens, so they can keep spreading the “systematic racism ” lie.
Whits Attitudes never change until jail time change that
Always So quick with the judgment by the color of the skin
They never tried to help him in the house the police at to do it
I am a 911 dispatcher & i am completely disgusted by the paramedic’s actions and the officer’s ya’ll should know you CAN NOT transport a patient STRAPPED LAYING DOWN & resticting ANY airway!! People thinking that those officer’s were helping yet didn’t do anything to help the patient , they allowed those PARAMEDIC’s to do that to this man! PERIOD!! Officer’s can request a differnt company of EMS/Paramedic’s! I’m disgusted! Everyone should be held accountable!!
The guy literally just slammed his head onto the stretcher like the guy did something wrong
F’ing pathetic
Damnit I wished the Judge would have told her to “Stop being stupid “ like she did to Earl.
fwak these two
they should have not stopped at popeyes on the way to bar
Give them the Death penalty.
Dang sad!
At first I thought , Naahh no way paramedics are responsible for a death. But then, watching their attitude towards the man. Oh my God. And the way they just wouldn’t even help him and then watch the cops pick up the guy put him on the gurney and the paramedics rolled his behind over. I don’t know what they were thinking. It was horrible. Yeah they definitely played a part in his death , murder I’m not so sure about that but they were nasty and he would not have died if they just had a little bit of respect.
Sounds about white!👹
They treated him pretty badly
Shocking and 100% guilty
I’ve been abused by EMTS plenty, as well as hospital intake staff. They should all be psych tested cuz they’re as adrenaline seeking, escalating and confrontational just like cops.
Imagine how much abuse they got away with before they were recorded!
We need to be able to call medical professionals for people like this. 911 shouldn’t be the only emergency number. They’ll get it one day after hundreds of people have died or been killed.
Wow ! They should be charged! And for the officers SHAME ON THOSE COPS! They know a patient shouldn’t be strapped down face in the stretcher. ! Like cmon! You don’t do CPR from the back. Hahaha
I’d like to know who hired these incompetent racist monsters!
That’s actually awful to watch . How can another human being treat yet another human being like that . Shocking it really is my heart goes out to him and his family . The fact the cop allowed it to happen is like you know right from wrong . Especially in that profession WOW, just WOW
they just might be charged from what i seen they did that on purpose he slammed his face into the stretcher. her attitude said it all they are guilty
Totally slanted and biased rabble-rousing troublemaking New station NBC/trying to create racial unrest so they can cover violence/after all ordinary people that did not take lifeguarding and EMT courses would not know the reason for strapping on his stomach/people don’t just die sleeping on their stomach… The reason for it was he might 🤮 and choke on his own vomit
They put the straps on too tight that’s all
His death was ruled a homicide but the attorney said his client didn’t do anything wrong but it’s clear as day how they treated this man in need of medical attention and the police just stood there and didn’t intervene..their all disgusting
How did they get their licenses again？
Both defendants and their lawyers can rot
they deserved it. they didn’t fair justice to the victim. Jail time
They should be charged with negligence at least, slamming him on that bed and making remarks she ain’t dealing with this tonight. They both treated him like trash.
There has to be a way to better evaluate people who become teachers, health care workers and police officers and to continuously evaluate how they treat those in their care.
It shouldn’t take injury or death for something to be done about professionals with this attitude.
First of all the attitude she had saying she is not wanting to deal with that shxt is a red flag she isn’t willing to care for someone in need and just collecting a check. Secondly the slam and strap was very unnecessary and I have not ever seen someone strapped in a stretcher face down that’s not what they are designed for. This was 100 percent negligence and I’m unnecessary care for someone in need
Throw the book at them they had zero compassion under the circumstance just disgusting.
The woman paramedic sounds drunk just doesn’t look or sound right.
Wow.
People who treat people like that should not be in charge of any type of health and safety. Period.
I am glad it was recorded. These two so-called paramedics deserve what they get. The verbal abuse and physical abuse showed their true colors. No excuses warrant this behavior.
They treated a human being with no care. Its like they wanted to happily assist his demise, smh.
A perfectly healthy adult male with zero ongoing issues regarding physical or mental health or substance abuse issues.
Unprofessional.
What ever happened to Humanity
Usual suspect they all look alike. Meth heads.
Very sad.
Did you see the compassion as he was thrown into the stretcher and the strap flung at the end. No medical transport I know of teaches to transport like this under these circumstances
Das Murder Man
Keep this energy with the police when we’ll then if we can get the emts so quick
This is beyond criminal. It verges on the borders of hate and malice. Evil intent.
True its murder but first degree murder can be hard to prove , because it oftern involves motive. They deserve those charges, but they might get off, if the prosecution cant prove intent.
Public Enemy told us in 1990. If at possible, go to the ER instead of calling 911
Treating people with love and respect is important in life and even more so if you choose to take on that role in this society. Purposeful disrespect for what these roles mean and abuse of authority should no doubt be punished in some way. Where is the accountability?
Placing him? He slammed him!!!!!!! They need to be held accountable, prosecuted, and punished severely. Life would be nice.
Unprofessional: Yes.
First degree murder: No.
disgusting racists.
That’s inexcusable. Both should be thrown in jail for a long time.
Flavor Flav said it best. “911 is a joke”
Meanwhle, the cops are breathing sighs of relief.
Yeah that was clearly murder.
that aint no gd first degree murder.. . the g d stands for ”god-d**mn”
Jeez!
The 2 paramedics couldn’t have “ placed “ him on that stretcher/ gurney if their lives depended on it!
Are you for REAL???!
What are they , in their 50’s?????!!!
Here we go again. Killed while dark brown with a phone, subway sandwich, crossing the road…
America where a dark brown man sleeping in a car is shot 16 times by police but a pink man waving a hammer is asked to put it down.
Where a pink intruder breaks into someone’s house, falls asleep in someone’s bed and gently awakened by police and asked to leave.
A global response to America’s human rights abuses is well overdue.
They will get off cause they white
They not doing no 60years
SHAME ON YOU
The way they threw him down onto the stretcher thing was disgusting.
0:58 “…then seen placing him…” No. He was seen SLAMMING him. This is not the norm for medical first responders, who are generally compassionate. These 2 are pure evil.
daaaannnng, that blonde white woman lookin mighty fine
Paramedics are developing the same attitude as the police.
Alcohol withdrawal… man was trying to clean up it sounds…
If I said what I would do to these two my comment would be deleted in a heartbeat.
HIs family was no where to be found when he was withdrawling .now they wanna all come out of the woodworks. smh
It’s all there on camera.
Wow man..dude slammed him down on the stretcher and the lady was talking to him like he was some piece of trash un worthy of any medical assistance. Yeah..they need to go to jail. I’m not an EMT, but I definitely know you don’t lay someone face down when they’re having a medical episode of any kind. They cause his death.
Wow the disregard for human life. You could of pretend that you cared. The camera was on. Dumb azz
These two paramedics deserve jail!
Their treatment of this man, in the midst of a medical crisis is horrific!
Those two are the most unprofessional, uncaring, unfit “paramedics” I have ever seen.
In their defense they’re just training to be cops…
What evil looks like
The attorney of easy money….Crump. victim is dead and video too Crump is the hustler to get his 50% of a rubberstamp wrongful death easy case.
Crump takes advantage of mourning people. He is a piece of sh**. 🤔..
I wonder if these incredibly stupid idiots have watched any “news” broadcast in the last 10 years!!
Jesus!…..why didn’t they just drive to the State Penitentiary and check themselves into Cell Block E …….FOR LIFE!
Who cares
AHAHAAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH
Most First Responders, whether Police, EMT of ER Room personnel hate the under class.
Health care workers are burned out thanks to 3 years of Covid insanity, record high overdoses and illegals streaming across the border. Don’t be surprised if you are someone you love gets mistreated when they need care.you get the government and care you deserve.
What the public doesn’t realize this is going to happen more and more, since EMT’s are paid minimum wage, no health care, horrible schedules, terrible bosses, etc… and during covid even though they were the truest front line, never got front line pay.
In other words, only low bottom workers will take these jobs as it is getting worse and worse kinds of patients they have to get with such horrible pay….think low quality security guards, except you need these people to actually help safe lives.
Good. Their treatment of that man was outrageous.
Wtf. If you don’t want to help people why even do this job? Why. Pointless. Absolutely pointless death. Wow.
How they got paramedic license ? How give them the paramedic license ? I 100% sure Probably it’s was scheme, they pay cash 💰 to got paramedic license.
Nasty mfers
They need life in prison
I know they get tired of always dealing with the junkies all the time but if you can’t do the right thing then it’s time to get a new job
Lock he azz up
Wow they treated him like a animal
100%, the murder charge is appropriate. Maybe unintentional due to idiocy, but if that was done to me, I would die as well. I cannot breathe well on my stomach, even just at my chiropractor. Others have dies this way. How can we not know this by now?????????????????
I really both get the death penalty or at least life in prison and either shanked or forced into hard labor every day.
🙏🏾💙🕊️🙌🏾🙌🏻✝️🛐
If they not willing the help others, why having a job as paramedic? 😢
Omg!
Why do people with zero compassion get to do these kind of jobs? That hateful look in them is just unmistakable. The way they throw him down, they acted like he the enemy the entire time. They should absolutely be charged with murdering that young man. I can’t believe the demeanor of these two, the attitude towards the victim is inexcusable.
