QUESTION: Why would any of the LEOs take OFF their gloves to touch a bloody body?

QUESTION: Why would any of the LEOs take OFF their gloves to touch a bloody body?


That's one thing that makes little sense right now


Thx in advance for your input on this question


P.S. - Also, the CPD has been circulating a picture of what they're claiming is a gun at the feet of Scott.... in the video shown recently there's no gun at the feet of Scott.

Just to be clear

Regards

especially if your hands are sweaty putting them on. I used to double up if I didn't have to do anything that required a delicate touch just because if I lost the ones against my hands I had one hell of a time getting a new set on.

but I'm no expert in that. I'd expect you'd need to be pretty good at handwashing to actually clear it.

including lapel mounted communication. They also get damned uncomfortable after they've been on for a while and your hands are drowning in sweat. Also, he might have been finished with his preliminary examination, the rest of the exam to be done by the ME.

I don't think we can see what's going on very clearly. A jury will watch this video one still image at a time on a very large monitor.

"Kick possession" or not, this man did not have to die. All those cops had to do was listen to his wife, bring her in to the situation to talk him out of the car peacefully. That they didn't bother is the criminal part of this whole thing.

It seems cops have really gone onto a shoot first mentality in this country. In so many cases the guy didn't have to die.

They rip.

If you are carrying more than one pair in a pouch it's easy to pull more than you need out, and you don't take time to put a 2 cent glove back in a pouch you toss it down.

Quit digging deep for conspiracy theories to try and avoid the most logical explanation for events, even if that explanation isn't what you would like it to be.

And I reply because there needs to be some rational response when people rep posting conspiracy nonsense.

Made of a tough composite nature using leather, Kevlar Etc. They are for protection from abrasion and cuts during a foot chase or to protect from needles and such while doing a patdown. It would make sense to remove those gloves and put on latex gloves to treat a bleeding person.

Unless they knew beforehand that there is no risk of contamination.

Where I can't really get a good magnification of what is going on.

To take a pair of gloves off and not replace them does not make sense.

No one with any common sense touches a bloody body without gloves if they have gloves available.

Also, in NC people can carry a gun... don't know why Scott here was targeted... a lot about this situation doesn't line up positively for the CPD

I still haven't gotten an answer about why they were bothering this guy in the first place. It seems he was in his truck just minding his own business waiting for his wife.
