“You came in and jumped at me and demanded oxygen and you would not let go of me.”
That’s what one female Emergency Medical Services (EMS) worker said to her patient in newly released footage of an incident in the early morning hours of 30 November 2023. The other worker had backed up her partner’s claim moments before to a responding Rochester Police Officer. Both workers appeared to be White though their faces and the responding officers’ faces were intentionally obscured.
The Black patient who was asked to leave the vehicle did so. He then walked away and sat down, then collapsed 20 seconds later. He is not attended to for approximately 1 minute and 32 seconds after collapsing.
Several weeks later he would be dead.
On 11 January, Rochester Mayor Malik Evans (Black) held a press conference (featured at the bottom) where he presented his conclusions in a speech rife with emotion. Evans then released the video, as he said “2 mins” after the conference.
Mayor Malik Evans said that he is “deeply concerned” about the incident where Evans exchanged ‘Black people’ for the new euphemism of “city residents.” Implying White EMS workers are prejudiced. Evans also blames them for the patient’s death.
The Black mayor, who narrowly avoided a temper tantrum, claimed family members told him that "he [the patient] had passed away from this health emergency.”
Evans also explained that the family members were also activists.
More conversation in the footage between police officers, AMR employees, and the patient surfaced bizarre allegations that the patient had used “trouble drinking water” as a ruse to gain assistance and assault the females, demanding oxygen.
Evans stated, "We contract EMT services with a company called AMR and for some reason, this individual was made to exit the ambulance on a city street.”
A job posting on AMR’s website for the Bronx, NY states that entry-level Emergency Medical Technicians can expect to make $18.62 an hour.
The original footage appears to show Rochester police officers providing security while a patient removes himself from an ambulance at police request. The footage cuts to other body cams and is replaced by a view from a stationary camera called a “blue light". Thereafter, the footage was picked up on body cameras.
What is missing is the bodycam footage from the responding officers during the moments between the patient’s collapse and when professional eyes were again laid on the man. This amounted to approximately 2 minutes and 6 seconds of footage.
The GVO would also like details on the male AMR worker’s phone call when it becomes available.
We have synchronized the video along with RPD dispatch audio for the public’s better understanding of the event.
Rochester emergency services appear to be under racial assault, even organizations like the Rochester Fire Department which have been applauded for relatively high levels of racial diversity by conservative commentator, Bob Lonsberry are currently enduring racial/DEI audits. Nonetheless, the city of Rochester seems willing to take its own side against ‘Whiteness,’ even if it means a heft civil payout such as the Daniel Prude case.
In March 2020, early on in the COVID pandemic, Rochester police were called to subdue a naked man who appeared to be intoxicated. The incident took place at the early onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and the man began to spit at responding officers who placed him in a spit hood for their biological safety.
The man would pass away shortly thereafter. The family would collect $12 million in a settlement with the city.
It is becoming apparent that there is no option for the races to live together. Stop the hate and separate.
