Memphis Fire EMT Robert Long testified in front of the Tennessee Emergency Medical Services Board on Friday that Memphis Police officers were “impeding patient care” after he and Advanced Emergency Medical Technician JaMichael Sandridge arrived to find Tyre Nichols sitting on the ground, propped up against a police car on January 7.
The fire unit had been dispatched for an “assault on an officer,” according to his testimony. Upon arriving on the scene, Long said an MPD officer told him he had been pepper sprayed by his partner, but they had a person in custody who may need their help. Nichols’ condition began to deteriorate roughly fifteen minutes after he arrived on the scene, according to Long.
