Hennepin County paramedic Seth Bravinder described trying to help George Floyd in the back of the ambulance, but he said heart monitors were showing no activity — that he had essentially "flatlined."
He said no medical interventions the paramedics tried to revive Floyd were successful.
On cross-examination, defense attorney Eric Nelson asked whether paramedics tend to respond to the scene of overdoses with police present because patients who are revived after overdosing can sometimes be aggressive. Bravinder said he had seen that happen before.
Nelson also asked whether paramedics conducted a "load and go," meaning they moved Floyd in the ambulance to a different area as they treated him. Bravinder said they did. Nelson asked whether that was done because of "the people around and the general atmosphere at the scene," and Bravinder said it was.
