Four trained and equipped peace officers and not one of them thinks to try or even suggest that anyone try to administer potentially life saving CPR. They did have the skill to check for a pulse, didn't they know what the lack of a detectable pulse meant? Did they ever receive CPR training? I note that the EMT's who came to the scene didn't bother to administer CPR, which leads me to guess that George was already beyond help. I'd guess that after nearly three minutes, without a pulse and with a knee still on his neck, it still took several minutes more for EMT's to arrive. So the question is; did the EMT's try CPR to revive Floyd and if not, why not!
A collection of articles defining our times. The pages contain clickable links, don't let the titles fool you, some of the best articles have very non-descript titles and there are usually more articles on the matters in the days and week pages the links land on so it's a sort of treasure hunt through history, Enjoy!
