On the murder trial of George Floyd, I'd like to point out not only the racial arrogance of the policemen involved but also their misogyny when they ignored the offer of help from the woman off-duty EMS professional and wouldn't even let her talk through the steps to get Mr. Floyd's pulse.

Cathy of course they wouldn’t allow her to enter their space and actually intervene—she was merely a woman and this murder was their moment. I was struck by how sad and depressed the paramedic seemed to be as he kept answering the questions—a young white man who had been the ambulance driver. His training was all about saving lives and yet you could see the toll that day took from him.
