NYPD cop uses empty bag of potato chips to save a man who was stabbed in the chest
 

It's actually refreshing to see bystanders assist the cop rather than distract and harass him as they normally do. :seasix:

Sucking chest wound. The cop stayed cool and remembered his training. :seasix:

It's crazy ain't it? I thought cops murdered every person they come in contact with. :confused5:

The MSM never mentions that more Blacks are killed each year by women VS Police.

Why wasn't a social worker there doing that ??? :confused5:
And of course the police should be defunded right. :lol:

Some how he'll be labeled racist because the victim he helped wasn't black.

Gotta admit, he stayed cool under pressure and took charge like a boss! :thumbs:

Fast thinking for the win. I have a kit that includes chest seals. I wonder if cops have similar AFAK type kits?

Some, but probably for themselves.

Are wounds like that self-sealing on people who are overweight? Just wonderin. Sounds logical :)

Your bigger issue is going to be tension pneumothorax. If you have to pop an obese person, is the needle going to be long enough. I think most 14 gauge needles out there are 46 mm long. Not really long enough for a person with a lot of tactical girth.

More correctly: NYPD Cop Uses Empty Potato Chip Bag...

TCCC says when in doubt stick ‘em. I carry two needles. Not EDC. I learned that minimum gear is of two types. Making holes and plugging holes. I pray nobody ever uses that damn clotting gauze on me. Absolutely brutal.

I have started carrying a tournaquet as part of my EDC. I’m surprised more people don’t. When you need one, YOU NEED ONE.
