Posting this again as I replied to another user above:
The officer isn't an EMT and if he was really shot 4 times in the abdomen then nothing the officer has would stop the bleeding. Not only that but if the guy really did react in a threatening manner the officer is providing cover to make sure the gun doesn't come back out.
I'm not advocating one side or the other on this, just letting you know how the protocols work.
- hermannj314 10y agoOk, I guess that's why I got the down vote. Thanks.
- tomschlick 10y agoYeah idk why others down voted you. It was a legitimate question.
- 0707_hn 10y agoI've made these statements elsewhere; I simply want to be thorough in responding to your comments. In Minnesota, there is an obligation to aid individuals who have been harmed and MN officers are trained to do this. Indeed, reports exist of MN officers responding to gun shot wounds (GSWs).

- spraak 10y agoI care not why the officer himself didn't administer aid, but why the no aid was called in time.
- tomschlick 10y agoAid would have been called by the dispatcher when the officer radios in that there was a shooting.
- spraak 10y agoWould have, but it wasn't.
