Great non-response, "first responders." Accessory charges aren't enough for these losers. What's that delicious LawnOrder phrase from the New York State Penal Code? "Depraved indifference?" A-yup. Second degree for the EMTs.TOMPKINSVILLE (WABC) -- While the investigation continues into the death of the man who appeared to be held in a chokehold as police attempted to arrest him last week, there is more fallout for those who were at the scene. The four EMT's who responded to the scene are now all suspended without pay by Richmond University Medical Center as the hospital conducts it's own internal investigation.
A second video had surfaced showing Garner's lifeless body on the ground unaided for several minutes, four emergency workers employed by Richmond University Medical Center were also disciplined amid questions about their lack of medical response. It's not until a few minutes into the second video that a female technician finally takes Garner's pulse and tells him they're going to get help.
"The ambulance was right down the block, but the police said 'not yet,'" explained Giordio Dano.
Dano just happens to be a registered nurse and was down the block Thursday afternoon when he spotted a commotion on the Staten Island sidewalk.
Dano says he can't believe what he saw.
"I would have flipped him over, checked his pulse and performed CPR, and get the ambulance here right away," he said.
The woman who shot the seven minute long video also expressed frustration.
"He was on the ground for a good ten minutes, no response whatsoever. When they put him in the gurney and put him to the side, EMS was stopped right there because they were trying to work on him," said Taisha Allen.
Witnesses say they pleaded with EMS workers to do more than check Garner's vital signs.
"We even screamed at them and told them, why are they concerned with putting him in the ambulance when they can do CPR right then and there," said witness Ramsey Orta. Orta recorded recorded Garner's arrest and takedown on his cellphone.

Whoa! Added justice dealt to chickenshit EMTs who let the N(azi)YPD keep them from doing their medical duty while the police were murdering Eric Garner in cold blood on the sidewalk.
