A former MFD emergency medical technician (EMT) has told a Tennessee board that officers “impeded patient care” by refusing to remove Tyre Nichols’ handcuffs.
If he was blocked he should have called a supervisor and filed a complaint. If he was threatened, or he feared for his own safety if he tried to help the young man he then should have filed a complaint with his supervisor. That was not done far as we know.
*Here in Germany EMT-Ambulance are allowed to give police officers commands, to uncuff a suspect "once they have established a life critical emergency and patient care takes priority over securing a suspect during an arrest".* Are there no similar laws in the USA?

If you are against anyone who is clearly doing their jobs properly and siding with bullies who only want to break the laws and the Constitution of the United States of America, then you are just as un-American as those who only want to bully law-abiding citizens.
There’s no excuse for not taking his vitals. His credibility is even more questionable because why not call your supervisor, or file a complaint or say any of this when you still had your job?
Exactly, his only concern is getting his job back, he had that chance to to be a decent human being, to do his job render aide to the victim that was obviously in dire need, he was treated less than a human being! Did the cops out pointed their guns at him and said I dare you give this man any aide? No! They all stood their and watched this man suffer, he's just as guilty as those wild animals that beat that young man to death! He's trying to use his entitled privileged to weasel his way out and get his job back! He's pathetic 🙄, no remorse whatsoever, only wants his job back, he should be facing time just like the rest of those rabid animals!

He probably did you act like being honest with your employers is great. Hell in all fabrics of life we don't really tolerate snitches. If he just kept his mouth shut he'd still have his job cause we don't fire people for being unproductive we fire them over petty shit.
I know this is a short clip from a 4 hour meeting but Tyre didn't have to be uncuffed for his finger to be used when checking vitals. Was that asked and what was the answer.
Where was the threat? The cops were yucking it up. Meanwhile Tyree was writhing in pain with minutes left to live. He was covered in blood and fresh bruises and this EMT couldn’t asses how dire the situation was.
@@challengersrt5397 it’s called integrity. Doing the right thing regardless of the situation. Tyree was covered in fresh bruises and drifting in and out of consciousness. Those were literally the LAST MOMENTS he was alive. When he went to the hospital he was on life support. A paramedic should have AT LEAST taken his vitals. This man absolutely deserves to lose his license. He was callous and indifferent.

how was the scene not safe? the officers were in the background, joking, laughing, yucking an high-fiving each other. No excuse for the EMT. He needs to be fired.
How much is this guy being paid to concoct this story??? Even if it's totally 100% true, then WHY did they take Tyre to St. Francis and not the Trauma hospital Regional One? They didn't take his life or survival serious and now he's gone.
We as paramedics, don’t have a choice of hospital to choose unless the patient states a specific hospital. Otherwise we take them to the closes place to get treatment as soon as possible. Then the hospital will airlift him to a trauma center after he is stable. Otherwise you get sued for passing 4 hospitals to get to 1. That’s a huge law suit and possibly a bunch of folks fired for that one call. Including the medical doctor for the night. See we call a doctor before we move the vehicle, tell him what’s the patient status and he instructs us what and where to go. We gotta call to even open a trachea for breathing. We don’t just jump in and save the day. We got rules too that keeps us out of jail and employed.
Not true. In our” STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES” as EMT B/P if a officer is on the scene they have jurisdiction and we wait until the officer clears us to operate in a patient. It’s not that easy guys, he obeyed SOP.
@trishbender7940 The paramedics DONT work for those cops. When they get called to a scene, their only job is to the patient. If they had at least tried to help him and those cops threatened or physically stopped them, they wouldn't have fou s themselves in the situation they're now in. That's just the simple truth.
I only heard cops telling tyre to stand up tyre looked already dead.. ì didn't hear anything from tyre...of course cops interfered until they sure tyre dying or dead. This emt not to be believed just plain bulls%$t
I'm a paramedic, and I have been on countless patients who were still in police custody when our engine company arrived on scene. several times they were handcuffed, but I can say from having years of experience, you can still assess for any traumatic injuries, take a pulse, a blood pressure, oxygen saturation, blood glucose, maintain spinal precautions during your assessment, auscultate lung sounds, place the patient on a 4 lead cardiac monitor to obtain a cardiac rhythm strip, and assess respiratory status regardless of what kind of police restraints they are in.
We r in a HELL OF A MESS😡 we got EMT, not doing what they are supposed to do🤕the MPD and all other police departments beating and killing up people for ELEMENTARY BS reasons the damn FIREFIGHTERS stealing money and credit cards off dying people😢 PURE HELL and most of this shit is happening to the BLACKS😢 please don't tell me I am trying to play the RACE ♠️ CARD because y'all can see this as well as I do👀I am playing the CARDS that's being dealed🆘the 🃏 JOKER'S coming up next because it's plain to see all the GOOD CARDS r at the BOTTOM of the DECK💔 we r just as guilt as they are because we r MOSTLY sitting by allowing it and we r supposed to be the GOOD PEOPLE and it CONTINUINGLY happens 🙏💔🙏
..And participate in organized community harassment.. in one generation they have crapped all over the respect that was earned by 1st responders for well over a hundred years.
Even if those animals were preventing them from helping Tyre.That’s when they should have called it in to their supervisors informing them that mpd is preventing them for doing their jobs.That would have covered their ass but by them not doing that.Makes them just as guilty.
Don't believe this guy's story. The police weren't impeding them. They are just trying to cover their ass. Watch the video. They provide no medical care to the victim. Pretty disgusting.
wtf are talking about the white supervisor told the other cops to beat tyre nichols up it was shown all over the news what planet you live on smh.... ok so call the same guy who instigated the situation in the first place... it must be time for your nap
Tyree was drifting in an out of consciousness. Literally with minutes to live. And this asshole couldn’t assess the situation. He had fresh bruises on his face a broken orbital bone and a broken jaw. How could he NOT SEE how serious it was.
Mine is STILL here!! He shouldn't have resisted!! Stupid ass Black males do this shit EVERY time then their family wants the community to get involved and march!! For what!!! 🤦🏿♀️
No one cares what that lying emt guy is putting out! you should get jail time too! you had a duty to call your supervisor or your supervisor’s boss & let them know call 911! You know & knew right from wrong! you took a oath for money not for care for all Citizens!!!!
Why blame the Emt all of this should be on those big bad officers that beat him to death and still had him handcuffs trying to pretend he was a still going to get there 🔫 those officers goose is cook 😢
It was his duty regardless of what those murderers said or did not say, to perform IMMEDIATE emergency life saving procedures on Tyree, he and everyone there that horrific night, witnessed the heartbreaking condition Tyree was in, he was suffering 😪There was an Lt. on the scene, with her rank, she had the right to over ride what those murderers said to not do!! No excuse buddy!!!!!!!!! You're ALL responsible for his brutal death😪
The EMT was asking Tyre what he was on? Assuming Tyre was on drugs...as he was in critical condition, Tyre had a broken neck. Men that faced Mike Tyson in the ring are still alive today...
The cops said he was high and he didn't know the cops were beating Tyre like a pinata either, that's not supposed to happen. It's all on video those cops are guilty of murder they should go to prison.
@@jrambo7495 ...No need to be a dick ... I wrote that 6 mo. Ago... before the autopsy was released... why tf are you so upset with a random comment... the broken neck was mentioned 6mo. Ago...geez... chill dude.
He should of done anything to help save him. Yes im sure he was afraid of the officers looks like a smaller dude. But as an emt that is your job and training. 😢😢😢
Straight BS he can tell someone else that crap!! Robert Long I didn’t see y’all trying give him any emergency assist. If you say Tyree wanted to stand up and wanted his handcuffs taken off and you ask the police to take them off and they refuse to tell me what you should have done? You should have called your boss and reported the incident.
I take vitals when patient is in handcuffed. Handcuffed is at the risk. Blood pressure taken to the proximal area. Upper arm. Oxygen and pulse is finger. Respiration is by minutes. Whats the excuse.
To Robert Long: You should file charges against a lawsuit against the racists who refused to do their jobs in law enforcement properly in accordance with the laws and the Constitution of the United States of America.
So what this guy is saying he was afraid to help a man that needed help because the police told him not to he took a oath not to the police but to the people.
He should have called a supervisor then! He should have filed a complaint with anybody who would listen! That's what I would have done if my livelihood was on the line! This is a day late, and a dollar short🤔
Excuses, excuses, Tyre shouldn't have been beaten by those ANIMALS, he should've had MEDICAL ATTENTION, TYRE was running for his life, no one HELPED him, he was beaten, bruised, and battered, later he sadly lost his precious LIFE!!!! 🙏 To TYRE'S FAMILY, so so sad.😭
He lying. a) An EMT can declare a medical emergency, if cops refuse to uncuff him. b) EMT sat there for 19 minutes doing nothing. c) We EMTs receive training how to check vitals even if a suspect is handcuffed. d) you fell for his BS excuses. But that is the state of America. People lie, and you believe them.
I dont blame the EMT's. The police are the highest authority on the scene💁♀️. If the EMTs went against the police, then the police would have charged the EMTs with interfering with police work💁♀️. Damned if they do, damned if they don't🤷
You need to stop blindly believing what people say. People lie. If you watch the video, you will immediately notice that EMTs were extremely negligent in providing care to the victim. They casually walk up to him and pay very little attention to him. It's disgusting how the least intelligent in our society are so lazy and incompetent. Cops and EMTs are really the dumbest in our society. Not all but most. I worked as an EMT in college for a little bit before med school. I can tell you that the dumbest people were in my EMT class.
They came because they were called by those same police officers. They saw how bad were the injuries of the "arrested person". I'm not seeing how even if they charged them, the police officers could have possibly won!? They would be doing what they were called for and they were in better position to judge how critical the patient was not the police officers. Sometimes you need to take the risks especially when it can be a matter of life or death!!
@@cynthiamiyangauhambe7370 No, absolutely NOT!, the police called the EMT for themselves because they had injured themselves far as the pepper spray and kicking one foot hurled yeah themselves
those people were trained to what mistreat the blackman? that young brother they gave know help as they beat the young man to death.poor brother. they were trained in school how to help people.and they sat around.... stop it.
