    New records from emergency responders obtained by The New York Times show that Good was not breathing but had an irregular pulse when local medics arrived at the scene, and had no pulse by the time they removed her from her car. This comes after an initial video captured by bystanders showed ICE agents screaming at a medic who offered help as Good lay dying in her car.

    “Can I go check a pulse?” a man said after Good was shot, his hands in the air.

    “No! Back up!” an ICE agent told him.

    “I’m a physician!”

    “I don’t care!” the agent replied, before another came up and said they had their own EMS on the way. They arrived and performed CPR on Good—who had two gunshots in her chest and one on her arm—before taking her to the hospital, where she later died.

    I mean I feel like it’s still an inarguable point as to WHY she was shot, but let’s ignore even that part but why oh why did they deny her care after that? Can conservative sociopaths explain that part away, because they’ll always argue about how she deserved it but did she deserve medical care?

    Because at least actual cops still call an ambulance for you or let a Dr reach you

      There are times cops have shot someone for no reason, a person hit with a 30 or more bullets who is clearly absolutely dead and they will still apply bandages and give CPR sometimes to give at least the impression of protecting life. To me the denial of medical care in this situation is even more proof of guilt than the shooting because they can argue they feared for their life in the moment, but they had ample time do provide aid and deliberately blocked it.

      The murderer even went to check the body immediately after but then left, I would be unsurprised if he saw she was still potentially alive and they decided to block aid intentionally to make sure she was dead. I assumed she was shot in the face or head 3 or 4 times which would be unlikely to survive, but apparently she was wounded twice in the chest on the right side, once in the forearm and once in the head. I don’t know the specific damage from the shot to the head, it’s most likely she would have at least been in a vegetative state or have severe brain damage if she had lived, but to deny the chance of any aid for over ten minutes would seal the deal of a conviction for murder if I were a jury member in this case.

    And it was a physician, not a medic.
