Paramedics reported that Perrotta declined treatment in the ambulance.

“I am fine, I just needed to get out of here,” she said, according to the report. Another officer described Perrotta at the time as “visibly hysterical (crying and breathing rapidly) and had blood all over her uniform”, the report said.

im done with lemmy for a long while as of this post. I realize you cant just bury your head in the sand, but lemmy finds every horrible thing and thats essentially the entire timeline. individual communities don't have enough activity to be worth checking very often imo.

this cop took an ambulance to get out of there after someone was shot. great. now I know this shitty thing happened. this is just a "here's another thing that happened on the other side of the world that'll make you feel hopeless and despondent. ive had enough for real.

other side of the world

In this case avoiding news from the United States of America is an easy fix as this community is literally called "usa@lemmy.ml". It's very easy to block.
