[quote=Anonymous]A lot of posts, will try to add some answers:

EMTs testified yesterday about moving to a different location. Answer was it takes a lot of focus to do that level of CPR and they needed to be able to concentrate on their patient so they thought it was better to leave the scene. One was driving the ambulance and one was in the back with Lane (former MPD officer charged with aiding and abetting in this case). Lane did compressions while the EMT in the back was hooking up monitors and a machine that does compressions. After driving several blocks, the EMT driving parked and entered the back of the ambulance. I’m not sure exactly what Lane does at this point but it seems like he walked back to the Cup Foods block.

During this time, MFD (fire) arrived to Cup Foods block, did not see patient or ambulance. Talk to off duty MFD officer on scene who testified the first day.

————
Basic chain of events:
-GF in Cup Foods, getting phone fixed, there are counterfeit bills (young employee testified he thinks passenger MH was the source)
-Young employee goes out to GF car twice, tries to talk to them about it
-Cup Foods manager calls police. Lane and Keung arrive. Speak very briefly to manager who points out car, seems to implicate GF
-Lane approaches car, draws service weapon, orders people out, kind of chaotic
-GF is cuffed and sitting up against wall on sidewalk. Things are mostly okay
-Lane decides to place him in squad car. Keung is walking with him at one point. He doesn’t want to go. Seems to be having a panic attack. Lane offers to turn on AC etc
-Eventually they are trying to put him in and a significant struggle ensues. They call for backup. Chauvin and Thao arrive on scene as struggle is taking place
-Chauvin assists Lane and Keung and Thao is securing the scene
-At some point early on Thao is getting “hobbles” which are ankle restraints. We learned during testimony yesterday these require clearance from a supervisor to use presumably meaning they have to radio a sergeant. The hobbles are not used.
-They can’t get GF in the car and Chauvin says to place him on the ground. Re: the “heart attack” comment my recollection is an officer says something like “calm down man you’re going to give yourself a heart attack”. Don’t take that as a direct quote but that’s my recollection.
-Chauvin is near GF upper body and visible to the crowd on the sidewalk in front of Cup Foods.
-Lane and Keung are at GF midsection and legs. They are blocked by the police SUV in the view from the widely circulated bystander video, which is likely what the confusion in several posts in this thread is about.
-Lane asks to roll GF into recovery. Chauvin says no we’re going to wait here
-Several min in waiting for EMS, Keung states he can’t find a pulse. Chauvin does not really react.
-Eventually EMS arrives, EMT is reaching around Chauvin to take pulse, then he gets up
