[@Naturefan354]

Cops aren't EMT paramedics and generally don't render first aid to people. Because they have neither the equipment nor training to effectively save lives. But i believe they probably could have given CPR in this case if they had mouth shields

[@haojiesheng]

Or the hospital did something to kill him and are covering up the negligence.

[@gruffaloschild1]

They could’ve still given him CPR is the thing that I don’t understand. I don’t know what they teach in First Aid training in the US, but where I live, they teach you that rescue breaths aren’t actually worth it anyway because if the heart starts, it’ll push the lungs to start back up etc. Plus the risk of getting something like HIV is decreased a lot etc. This man should not be dead, this hero should not be being charged for what I would say is negligent homicide on the cop’s end. It should be the responding officer’s on trial, not Penny…

It’s sad. All the while, the criminals get arrested, get released, commit a crime again and again. Most recently, in NY, over the last 4 days: a man goes in a stabbing spree, unalives all of his victims. Yup, he was arrested & released many times. Second day: man shoots & unalives ppl. Yup, you guessed it. Criminal history with being arrested and released many times. Another day, a person that doesn’t even belong in the country, gets caught in an act, steals a phone, gets arrested & yup, again, he was arrested & released many times. Again too, doesn’t even belong here. Then today, a man runs up & slices a man in the face-not yet found but I’m sure the story is the same. Wtf?!!!! 🤦‍♀️

[@CertifiedForkLiftOperator69420]

But he choked a man for 6+ minutes even after others assisted in restraining the aggressor. Even after the train stopped. I don't see where this is confusing to people. Seems like a pretty open shut case for manslaughter to me.

[@bellalovescoffee42]

I live in Canada but this still applies. I’ve been attacked by a homeless man (who was drunk/high) before. I’m a petite woman and he was much larger than me. Despite lots of people around me just across the street- no one came to help. I was able to run away and he did not get my phone. It was traumatic to go through. Get these people off the street! I would’ve been so thankful for a man like this one to come help me that day. Let’s not as a society penalize good people. He did something clearly not many are brave enough to do.

It's basically illegal to defend someone else in Canada. You can only defend yourself with the same amount of force that's being used against you. And that subjective decision on it's up to the prosecutor. So stepping in to defend someone else can be construed as assault or worse.

So, Ive been a paramedic for about 20 years. The current, and for several years now, the teaching of CPR has been taught and is recommended to be "hands only," unless you're a healthcare professional, with more advanced airway equipment. Which means, chest compressions only, for lay persons, including PD, and even professional rescuers who do not have airway equipment readily available. No rescue breathing, just chest compressions.

I don’t know how that interview made it into evidence since they didn’t read him his rights

[@mayowankenobi]

Right?!?

[@rd1084]

I know cops and they say they wouldn’t talk to a cop or detective without a lawyer.

[@ianmoses3140]

Yes! We should make it illegal for cops to interrogate suspects without a lawyer present!

[@rickslingerland1155]

You can do CPR without mouth-to-mouth until EMS arrives with the Ambu bag. That is how we are teaching civilians, these days. I was a firefighter and then a RN for 25 years. Just circulating the patient's blood while waiting for EMS increases that person's chances of survival greatly.

[@EvilExcalibur]

I knew he was likely being framed but holy fk, i had no idea that it was THIS bad. WTF?

[@PeterNebelung]

They released a photo of the "victim" on the floor in the "choke hold". You can plainly see there is no pressure on the throat, it's all upwards outwards, locking his jaw and head. Penny did not kill him. However, I'll be very surprised if he isn't thrown in prison. At least for a couple of months. I suspect if he is tossed in prison, he'll get one of the fastest pardons ever seen.

[@laceyfontenot186]

His life will still be trashed. He will still be a felon. It's absolutely disgraceful!

[@JayWoods-YT]

Who will pardon him? It's not a federal crime.

[@SharonCullenArt]

That medical examiner should be fired and license suspended.

[@MargaritoTrevino]

Drag this trial out to January 21st, lets get Trump to pardon him. This mans a hero!

[@CunningLinguist1386]

Serious question. If he does get convicted can Trump still pardon him?

[@medic1937]

​@CunningLinguist1386 Not directly. He can only pardon federal charges. He could mess with NY in other ways.

[@CunningLinguist1386]

@@medic1937 Judging by this video and what I’ve seen online I’m leaning towards justice actually prevailing for once.

[@Vladpryde]

@@medic1937 Correct. President Trump can't pardon state charges. What he can do, however, is order his Justice Department to investigate both the Medical Examiner and the Prosecutor. And file Federal Civil Rights and Lawfare charges as necessary.

[@medic1937]

@Vladpryde Absolutely! 👍 That's what I was alluding to by saying he can mess with NY in other ways.

[@kellyguillory2352]

For starters first responders are not trained to do “mouth to mouth” CPR! If they do not have a bag valve mask they are taught to just do compressions. I CALL BS!!

The system isn't broken. Those responsible for enforcing the laws aren't enforcing, or selectively enforcing, the laws already on the books.

[@camillajulianagonzalez6044]

Lesson number one for every citizen: never, ever, ever go to the police station (invited or not) without a lawyer. Especially if they tell you they want you to pick up something that belongs to you. Especially if you are innocent!

[@EtoCobra]

Lesson number two: Don't help strangers.

[@nematolvajkergetok5104]

This is happening everywhere in the modern world. Raise a finger at a criminal, and you're in a world of trouble. Courts will go overboard to pin assault or murder charges on you, no matter what. I've seen a million such cases, and I was involved in one.

[@schnitzel711]

Doctor here. You DONT have to give mouth to mouth cpr. You can choose to do only chest compressions.

Hi Britt, I so enjoy your videos, keep up the good work. Keep the truth coming.

A reverse of the "Kitty Genovese" (Kitty was attacked on a New York city street and screamed for help for over an hour. People heard, didn't help and DID NOT call police) situation.

[@alex67432]

It’s a similar situation to the incident in 2013 where a mass murder was subdued by a subway passenger and was stabbed 7 times while the cops watched and when the hero took them to court he lost because Judge Margaret Chan said that the police had "no special duty" to protect anyone on board the train.

[@MrBrownpants-w3t]

Bret, we do not and never have had a "justice system" we have a for profit "legal system".

[@Chip-m8x]

I have found out that we do not have a “justice system” we have a “punishment system”.

[@williammkydde]

Not even that. It punishes the wrong people, but that illegal murderer just got away.

There is no justice in NYC court district.

Losing all common sense is getting scary. Im blown away how little coverage this case is getting.

[@joshuayarrington9684]

Unfortunately scenarios like this are really common in self-defense uses everywhere.

[@GooseTG98]

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from situations like this is never talk to the cops without an attorney. If you’re guilty you need a lawyer and if you’re innocent you REALLY need a lawyer.

[@nolandavis5699]

This is exactly why I won't step in to help ANYONE I am not risking my freedom when I can be wrongfully charged Not to mention there are women like that lady that pressed sexual assault charges against a man for saving her from drowning and conducting life saving CPR You want to know where all the good men have gone? You abandoned us, ridiculed us, called us evil and so we're DONE

[@alex67432]

Or if you do step in to help you run the risk of being stabbed 7 times and almost dying while two police officers stand by and do nothing because they had no duty to protect the passengers. That happened in 2013 on the NY subway. So if you step in you run the risk of getting killed and if you don’t get killed you run the risk of being arrested

[@2301WAYNE]

I mean dude I get it, one should not get hate for saving and all but that doesn’t mean you should stop being kind and good, that's the difference between good and evil, hero and villain. Batman gets hates all the time from his people and his family for saving them but that never stopped him from caring and saving people. Even in real life there are many influential people that have git beaten and spit on, etc. The most common trait between them is that they Didn't complain or blamed the people who did it. They told they did out of misunderstanding, they don't blame them but the system that led them to believe it which is human error, forgiveness is divine. I mean if you use him as an excuse to become Evil and be kindless it would hurt him the most.

[@nolandavis5699]

@2301WAYNE save me the sanctimonious nonsense cause that doesn't matter. I have a family to look after and I can't do that if I'm locked in a prison cell. I have to look after myself so I can look after them, fix society and the justice system first then we'll talk.

[@2301WAYNE]

@@nolandavis5699 Dude, I am not telling you to risk your life and family. But don't give excuse to not be kind and good. Specially don't use good people as excuse to not do good. It would hurt them the most. It's kind of disgusting to use That an example. I get it, Blaming others, society and system is easy. I do that all the time when I feel down. I am not good too. But I would never blame others for me being not good that's My choice. When you want to do something you do it, when you don't you just don't. You just give excuses to do so. You are telling me that you would give up on your family and not save them when it's hard or risky and run away. When it's your family would you think how many wounds ans shots you would get then why with other I am not telling you to do it, everyone would get if you don't. But don't say that good is crooked. The people who risk those life for others are respected for the same reason they don't expect praise all atleast that's how i see it through the Batman they care for everyone's happiness and safety even if they hate them for it. Maybe you are right, in real life there is no Batman, I get angry, get hurt, i say it's others but deep down I think it's for myself. I am not Batman to get hurt completely for the sole purpose for everyone even if they hate, blame and despise me.

[@nolandavis5699]

@@2301WAYNE your conflating being good with the point of my original post. Nowhere does it say I refuse to be a good person, it says I refuse to step in to help others in situations such as the topic of this video. I am perfectly capable of doing good but your conflating that mentality with the idea I should step into a situation KNOWING the chances of me then getting into trouble for doing said good is above 99%. Because let me tell you there is many many more stories like this one out there. Men accused of the worst things possible after saving some dirtbags life but they're story wasn't as popular for some reason. If it happens once or twice, that's a coincidence, but as often as I've seen in the past 4 years alone is a pattern of behavior in both society and the legal system. Get off your high hoarse with this "be good" nonsense because that doesn't factor when it comes to the issues I'm talking about.
