THESE TWO OFFICERS ON THIS DAY WERE WORKING IN AN OVERTIME CAPACITY FOR ME.
THEY WEREN'T EVEN ATTACHED TO MY REGULAR UNIT.
SO TO WATCH THEM IN ACTION AND I WAS HERE WHEN THEY DID ALL THIS, TO WATCH THEM IN ACTION WAS QUITE A SIGHT TO SEE BECAUSE SOME OF YOU, UH, SENIOR OFFICERS HERE, REMEMBER BACK

AFTER TRESPASSING WHILE FLEEING THE SCENE, THE SUBJECT SUSTAINED A SEVERE LACERATION TO THE BOTTOM OF HIS FOOT.
BLOOD LOSS WAS SO QUICK THAT THE SUBJECT WAS IN DANGER OF LOSING CONSCIOUSNESS.
OFFICER OTTI HAD TO APPLY THREE TOURNIQUETS, AND THAT WAS SOMETHING TO SEE TO THE LEG OF THE SUBJECT TO SLOW THE LOSS OF BLOOD.
EVEN AFTER THREE TOURNIQUETS WERE APPLIED, OFFICER TI NEEDED TO APPLY A PRESSURE BANDAGE TO STOP TOTAL BLOOD LOSS.
CAJAS ASSISTED OFFICER TI IN THE PLACEMENT OF THE TOURNIQUETS AND KEPT THE SUBJECT'S LOVE LEG ELEVATED TO SLOW THE BLOOD LOSS FROM THE FOOT.

OFFICER LOBB THEN REMOVED THE LIGATURE FROM THE SUBJECT'S NECK WHILE OFFICER DEMARINI BEGAN CHEST COMPRESSIONS UNTIL A FD ARRIVED AND TOOK OVER CHEST CHEST COMPRESSIONS.
EMS RESPONDED SOON AFTER AND CONTINUED LIFESAVING MEASURES.
