human being can respond so quickly to each of those commands that are so rapid fire. that could have been intentional. it would have been something that was happening in the heat of the moment. i don t know. but whatever it was, it was still unprofessional and it led to this tragic outcome because no one, no one, tie ri nichols or anyone else could possibly comply with those types of commands at that speed. it was just so it was wrong. it was wrong in so many ways. sonia, you ve spoken out on the lack of a timely medical response, pointing out it took an ambulance minutes to arrive on the scene. what does reform look like on that level? i m glad you said that. reform is going to have to be holistic, meaning it s not just about what the police does. it s about what all the systems are doing surrounding the police
