  It wasn't pointed at the scene at first. It turns to the activity after the beating started.
context: Interesting how EMS has a license that can get suspended but not cops, maybe we should change that. >
  
  In most states barbers require more hours of training to hold clippers than cops to hold guns. 🥴 >
  
  My barber had more hourly requirements for school than I do to be a paramedic. >
  
  It's not that other professions don't get trained enough - it's that licensing boards and schools for barbers have a vested interest in making it cost a lot to get certified, and it's unnecessarily long. It takes fewer hours of training to be a commercial airline pilot than a barber. >
  
  So, turn the police office training into a long costly process. I'm ok with the number of dirtbags this would weed out of the system. >
  
  Holy shit, could... outsourcing police training actually work? A failed exam means retaking the test, which means more money for the training institution. >
  
  Why are there still unidentified cops in this matter? Release ALL their names. >
  
  Those who aren't named are being investigated to see if their involvement lead to the death of Tyre. If they are found to be innocent are at the least not guilty then naming them is unethical as it can lead to vigilante justice or lifelong damages attached to their names. The original 4 officers had evidence against them that was undeniable and are the root cause of Tyre's death, current investigations are about if responders followed proper protocols that could have prevented his death but not directly cause it. >
  
  While I understand that we are past the point of trusting the police, period. Them investigating themselves and picking and choosing what info to release doesn't sit well. >
  
  Cops need federal licenses, like pilots. They way they can't jump town after being written up. >
  
  That including periodic mental fitness evaluations to determine fitness to serve. >
  
  Just like a pilot license. ADHD meds in high school? Disqualified without a special issuance. Blood pressure too high? Yeah right bud take meds or you’re unemployed. Too old? Goodbye. >
  
  Lmao you can't get a pilots license if you've ever taken ADHD meds at all? I want to go for mine but if I get disqualified for that then I'm just not gonna bring up ADHD >
  
  Special issuance is allowed but it’s expensive and you have to sort it out with your medical examiner and a government psychologist >
  
  Good. A first responder's job is to save lives. They failed in every way possible here. >
  
  I just can't imagine why, even if they "thought" they were responding to a pepper spray incident clearly they saw this man beaten to a pulp slumped again a cruiser. Were they used to getting calls from this unit and part of this? Just wtf. >
  
  A few options:
  
  
  they saw what had happened to this man and were afraid they'd face a similar fate for intervening
  
  
  they were worried about getting arrested
  
  
  they didn't give af >
  
  Nah, fuck that. The cops not directly involved and also not helping don't get that pass. Neither do the other first responders. Neither the cops nor EMTs get to claim they were scared to help. >
  
  You're not a first responder and neither am I. We're all just speculating here and I'm offering suggestions, nothing more >
  
  May they never work again. Everyone who killed Tyre should live miserable lives filled with pain. >
  
  Funny, a first responder needs a license, but none of the coward pigs do. >
  
  The lady who does my nails needs a license, but cops don't... >
  
  Make all police officers maintain their Nationally Registered EMT certification and be required to render aid to anyone who needs it. If you are a piece of shit you lose your EMT cert and can't be an officer. >
  
  Ugh. No, thanks. I'd rather cops not be sent on aid calls. They're dispatched unnecessarily already. >
  
  They wouldn't be. They would have to render aid to anyone they injured instead of standing around while people bleed to death. >
  
  I get what you’re saying. I think they should know how to render aid. Should make it mandatory to give aid. >
  
  Good I hope that the board decides to make the suspension permanent after the required hearings. >
  
  A reminder that you’re not on the same side. Do your job, let them stop you if they want to, but at least try. As long as you TRY, you’re covered. At the end of the day, they can’t/won’t protect you. >
  
  Honestly, that's what makes the whole thing so insane. The entire thing was caught on bodycam, the cops knew it was caught on bodycam, and still killed a man and had the gall to lie about it. And the EMTs just milled around instead of covering their asses even for selfish reasons. >
  
  I mean the bodycam footage is usually pretty chaotic and it's hard to tell what's going on sometimes. Granted, I refuse to watch it, because I just can't watch another young black man get beaten to death while crying for their mother, but from the small clips I've seen  it's so much harder to tell what's going on, because they're all moving. I bet they thought they could get away with it because of that (especially since they kept screaming for Tyre to give him their hands, even though they already were holding him and beating him), but didn't realize the SkyCop camera was there. If that polecam hadn't been there, they'd probably getting a slap on the wrist because they could twist and lie their way into saying Tyre resisted and attacked them. The SkyCop camera footage (which I did watch, because it had no audio) shows everyone the truth clear as day. >
  
  Pretty sure the sky cop cameras have flashing lights on top. They knew and didn’t care >
  
  I mean it's very plausible that they didn't notice it in the heat of the moment. But it doesn't really matter whether or not they knew about it. >
  
  They absolutely did not notice at first because you see in the video the exact moment they see the camera. >
  
  That's what I think too. They were too angry and too caught up in the moment to notice it.
