Here are a few of the notes I jotted down last night:
Mathias claimed that the family isn’t allowed to ride in the ambulance because everyone is a suspect. The fire chief should be the one to answer questions about ambulance service, and there are good reasons not to have family members in the ambulance, but that isn’t one of them.
When the ambulance left the scene, they were performing CPR. People at the scene did not know the outcome initially. They were notified by the ambulance crew or the hospital later, and the medical examiner was called.
The statement by Mathias that the police don’t tell people that their loved one has died because the hospital is better equipped to handle it is a lie. On the radio, a detective said he told an interpreter to tell the family, and then intended to tell her himself when the interpreter didn’t do it. There is nothing wrong with this. Mathias’ claim that they also didn’t tell her because there was no ambulance on duty is also false. The fire department kept the private ambulance they originally ordered for Islam on standby to cover the city while they were taking him to the hospital.
Ahbab Ahmed, Shahab’s brother, was extremely disrespectful to people speaking during the public comment period, making yawning sounds and other noise.
Detroit police officers talk about their 911 waiting list like it is normal.
My husband and I have both been assaulted, and I’ve witnessed two shootings in 4 years. Problems with crime and the police are not limited to any group or groups.
I’m so glad my neighbor was there to point out that family members and neighbors are not acceptable translators. Volunteer interpretation programs work in other cities.
The Free Press always has reports posted the same night.
