When the civilians who helped that man are in better shape than the emergency response team, you know our system is broken. How many times did they even use the AED? I know parts were edited out but I didn’t witness anyone rushing to the scene. That poor man. I hope his family weren’t there to witness this tragedy. Then again, they surely will now that it’s on yt for all to see. RIP buddy 😢🙏

[@Sea-cucumber1151]

Wow, many places have volunteers only or they back up paid paramedics etc….and without them we would not have anyone. Physical fitness does not go by body shape, plenty of skinny people who couldn’t walk a couple miles or have any endurance. What you said is outdated and callous. Even the army will go by tape measuring and fitness not by stringent size. I know someone who is very physically fit, in psych ops but has to be measured as he doesn’t fit the standards.

[@HeadNtheClouds]

@@Sea-cucumber1151who? Captain America ? 🇺🇸

[@pommiebears]

Used to be. Then, it was considered “hurtful” and everyone suffered. I wouldn’t be able to be a cop or nurse, or firefighter, because I have epilepsy. It’s my reality and I accept this. Why other people can’t accept the limitations of their restrictions, is beyond me.

[@pnwadventurer9674]

Agreed!!!! It’s why I’m losing mine too!!!

[@ag4allgood]

Its a mentally challenging job too. Probably more so than physical. Most of the time paramedics are brought very close to the people needing help. Its the Police Officers that need to keep up their physical training.

[@andreafarris2515]

Those EMT’s didn’t give a f**k! The guy doing CPR tried the hardest & the people surrounding him at that time cared. I pray that if I ever need medical attention from those EMTs that they move a little faster and act like it’s an emergency! RIP sir.

[@Dudeitsalexx21]

Imagine that was your loved one and you saw the poor reaction and response time from both PD and Paramedics. I understand PD doesn’t want to do the medical work in the meantime, but it’s a poor look on their department having a civilian doing all the work. No firefighter/medic should ever be that out of shape. You like how he didn’t even bother to put his gloves on during his previous walk to the incident? I understand Pd and Fire personnel are jaded with their job, but there’s no way the public should tolerate it.

[@NadineMiller1974]

He was gone, rigor mortis had already set in which showed when they moved him. 😢

[@Dudeitsalexx21]

@@NadineMiller1974 Rigor Mortis shouldn’t set in that fast unless it had taken a while for them to get to him? (the cold water probably added do it)?

[@garyhainlinejr1688]

Yes, but what i dont get is that none of that should have mattered. They work for us! We pay their salaries and pay taxes for them to respond and help us when we need them no matter what and citizens should be relieved as soon as the authorities arrive on scene.

2:51 damn at that very moment he was still alive and trying to speak. How tragic that he passed. I feel for the guy doing cpr. I’ve been that person and it definitely stays w you. The initial people did so good helping.

[@thelovelyt1]

He was not alive nor trying to speak. He was listening for air and water in his airways.

[@InternetJury]

He was not trying to speak, he was already gone. Did you see how his entire head was blue? That's called cyanosis. From personal experience seeing that happen to my husband... it was already too late. They turned him on his side just in case he had fluid in his lungs and were trying what they could to get...anything. As they explained to me, after they tried to revive my husband after 30 full minutes, it's likely he had a sudden cardiac arrest - his heart stopped. It may have been a heart attack or a lung clot or something similar. My husband had a lung clot. They said it was a "massive" event and it was highly unlikely he would have survived , no matter what they did for him. That's kind of what this poor man looked like, too. Again, personal experience doing CPR on my husband for 10 minutes before the paramedics arrived. He was pale and no responsive, then progressively turned blue because he had no oxygen.

[@rebelwithacause7334]

I will also tell you, that I want to know why, when anyone is dealing with a person who may have drowned are they not placed on their bellies, with their face to the side, then the legs lifted so any water in the lungs can come out just by using that technique? I have been a first responder and certified 3 times and each time we did the old method. That is how you would treat a baby to an elderly person; except with the baby you may be able to just pick them up while holding the heard in your hand, while their body is in a downward position! This makes me sad and just leaves me shaking my head! You can't start someone's heart if they have both lungs full of water; there is no room in the chest wall for the heart to move; and especially if they also have the water in their stomach. It is a recipe for disaster!

[@jacquelyngarcia4100]

What do you mean by “truly repent of your sins?” Repentance in the Greek means “metanoia” which is a change of mind. God repented in Joel 3. Turning from sin, stopping a sin/habit, quitting a sinful lifestyle is NOT a requirement for salvation. That is adding works to the Gospel. The only requirement is to believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and to trust in Him alone for the gift of eternal life. Turning from sin comes through discipleship and intentional effort to live a sanctified life for the Lord. The ungodly are without strength and are unable to be godly in their own flesh. Godliness is only possible through walking in the Spirit which comes AFTER a person has trusted Christ alone.
