As Pretti laid on the ground, the woman he was shielding yelled out "decorticate posturing" a sign of sever brain trama. [View all]

Them fucking bastards!

In an exclusive interview reported by The Intercept, the EMT said she could tell immediately that Pretti had a catastrophic brain injury. She says she identified herself, begged to perform CPR, and pleaded to get to him. On the audio in the video, her voice can be heard calling out “decorticate posturing,” the involuntary curling that can signal severe brain trauma. She says an agent held her back anyway.
Read that again: the person he tried to shield was trained to save lives, and federal agents would not let her get to him. Whatever you think about immigration policy, whatever you think about protest, whatever you think about “crowd control,” this is a basic human line.
