Renee Good still had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent. And yet the offer to administer aid from a physician on the scene, following his Hippocratic Oath, was denied. (cdn.social.linux.pizza)

Was denied by who? Who besides Renee had the right to accept or refuse medical attention on her behalf?

    By other agents, when a doctor presented and offered to help. They would not let the doctor through.

    Snark was my immediate reaction, and saying nothing was the best I could accomplish, so I (srsly) marvel at your patience and dedication to teaching.

    I like to think of it as commentary written not only to educate the dolt who made the dumb statement but also to set the record straight for other readers. (even though something tells me that level of stupidity is intentional or they're trolling...but i have a hard time understanding idiots ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

    I don't know if you're serious (you can't be, right?), but the armed men who just shot someone denied him access, despite him being right there and asking to help her. They also blocked the ambulance from getting to the scene.

    Are you, and I mean this is the most sincere way possible...an idiot?

    I was on my way to sleep and I read the title without reading the article and I commented the first question that came to my mind. I owe you grumpy judgmental rude vocal internet addicts no further explanation or apologies.
