asking for help. Help? I still don't understand how ALL those officers were able to just stand there and do nothing! It would be an automatic reaction, I would think, to run to someone's aid -- and especially if you've been trained to handle emergencies.

I usually try to see the cops' side, too, and probably give them more leeway than is often warranted because they're just human beings in a tense, volatile situation, too, but to not help someone who was wounded so severely? A head wound? Unforgivable.
