Tonight at the #CHOP, a group of medics held a press conference on treating Aubreanna Inda, a demonstrator who "died 3 times" after being hit with a flash-bang grenade thrown at her chest by SPD on June 8. Inda suffered 3 incidents of cardiac arrest as medics lost her pulse. 1/4
Volunteer medics now claim they were targeted by SPD officers with flash-bangs as they were treating Inda. The medics, which include ICU Nurse Danielle Meehan and Registered Nurse Kim Dang (above), say they were clearly labeled w/ red crosses while providing care. 2/4
The team says they had to make a stretcher for Inda and flee from SPD while providing treatment. Many volunteer medics are claiming this incident was a part of "a wider pattern of SPD intentionally targeting medics" as they were providing care to demonstrators. 3/4
The medics say they have filed a complaint with the Office of Police Accountability. 4/4
