    "Green Light" is the sixteenth episode of the first season on The Rookie. This is sixteenth episode of the series overall.
    Officer Nolan arrests a woman for assault and finds out the hard way that she's connected to a powerful gang member. As a result, the gang is given carte blanche to kill Nolan, while Sergeant Grey goes head to head with the gang leader to call off his crew. Meanwhile, Officer Chen and Officer Bradford pull over Mario Lopez, who tries to talk his way out of a traffic violation.
    Everyone walks on eggshells as I.A. is on annual campaign to test into the absurd all officers' integrity, setting traps. TO Tim is all but amused that Chen is tested by hiring hunky Hollywood star Mario Lopez for a speeding freebie, hence slams the books for any offense he can slap. Nolan thinks it's a ripoff cloths trap when the dress on the girl he arrests falls apart, yet jails her correctly, only to learn she's the spoiled girl of street gang baron Cole Midas, who listens only to his jailed father Leonard 'king' Midas. Nolan is offered protection at home while the gang is squeezed by drying their income, but Nolan refuses to hide and Cole takes aim higher up the LAPD food chain.-KGF Vissers

    Norwegian paramedic here. Any penetrating injuries to the head or neck are difficult to deal with, especially GSWs as they may have a weird trajectory, but first aid follows the same principles and priorities as always:
    X: Exsanguation - We need to control any life-threatening bleedings and control any c-spine injuries. That's difficult to do here without compromising the airway, so we need to secure that first.
    A: Airway - Secure the airway with an ETI - after the airway is secured, and if I were alone here, I'd go back to putting pressure on the injury.
    B: Breathing - Ensure the lungs are ventilated
    C: Circulation - If alone, I'd just focus on chest compressions once I've controlled the bleeding. Otherwise, get IV/IO access and push fluids.
    D: Disability - She seems fairly unconscious at this point so nothing to care about there.
    E: Exposure - Head-to-toe exam, thermo-management.

      Anderson was never mild mannered, she just chose to be nice. It's established pretty early in an episode with Chen that she's legitimately more of a real badass than Bradford.
      She joined the LAPD after 2 tours in Afghanistan and rose in the ranks but can't agree more that it's one of the most badass scenes in the show

    For reference, "winter" in southern California is December to February, also called the "rainy season". During February, which is the wettest month, there's an average of 5 days when it rains.

The worst part is when he told us he hated going back home. He said the worst orders you could get was you’re going back home, that he’d rather stay in ‘Nam because you’d get spit in and called baby killer at home.

    I mean, combat veteran, respectable and honorable boss and public servant, dedicated and loyal to her duty, caring and kind to even the lowest ranked officer in the department. Never treating their issues as trivial or beneath her, She was one of the best most honorable characters of the show. And She will be sorely missed. She appears in one other episode where they are chasing a suspect in a Grave yard, The suspect is arrested and Nolan and Bishop go to visit her as the suspect is in their shop. And she has been LAPD for 15 years (each Bar on her lower arm is Five Years) 5, 10, 15.

      If I had to guess, i would say that LAPD is operating on the assumption that hitting those businesses would only cost southern front a week of operations and then would be set up again in a new spot. That new spot would be unknown for a while which means any intelligence to be gleamed from knowing about it would be missed. Thus its not worth the time and effort when more subtle longer term actions can be set up against higher echelons of the organization through observation and control

    On the topic of CPR in this situation.
    The purpose of CPR is to pump blood around to vital organs (heart and brain) because the heart isn’t doing that effectively itself.
    In this situation where the captain has either :
    a) lost a lot of blood
    b) sustained an airway injury +/- bleeding into the airway
    CPR is unlikely to be too helpful on its own without stopping major bleeding and securing the airway.
    Nolan is limited to compressing external bleeding only. (And it didn’t look like there as a tonne of that).
    So yeah. The CPR medically wasn’t realistically going to make much of a difference but from Nolan’s perspective, can’t blame him for attempting EVERYTHING possible to save his captain (who had just saved his own life).

    Watching this Memorial Day weekend. Got to the part talking about dying in the line of duty. I served 5 years in the USMC with my end of service coming 8 months before 9/11 happened. While I was still in several men I served along side died in the line of duty. I was a helicopter crew chief (enlisted air crew that flew on cargo helicopters almost every day) for CH-53Es, and I was paid hazardous duty pay though is was during peace time service. Because flying has associated dangers. The men I served with who died all died due to aviation crashes where they had been on board and the aircraft crashed with them on board. One man was a SSgt in the skids community (AH-1/UH-1) who I had deployed on a MEU with. About a month after getting back from that deployment he was onboard a UH-1 Huey that crashed in the Pacific off the California coast. All hands lost. I do not recall if they ever even recovered his body for burial. Two others I served with were part of another H-53 USMC squadron I had been attached to while waiting on my own unit to come back from Okinawa. The personnel move, the aircraft stay and they send a group of people in advance of the rest of the unit to ensure a smooth change over. A month or two after the others had gone off to Okinawa one of the helicopters crashed into the ocean on a NVG flight. Pilot lost track of the horizon and flew straight into the water, all hands lost. I don't have survivors guilt, but part of me resents not even remembering their names.
    Edit: I'm posting this to say that death in the line of duty is common even in peacetime for military members too. It sucks when it happens and it's never a good thing. I often say that cops are the only people outside of soldiers serving in wartime who get shot at just for wearing a uniform. The only difference is that a cops "war zone" is right outside their front door 24/7/365. So, much respect to those who wear the badge, and wear it with honor.

    The Auditing Community Doesn't hate the police as a person, who's hung out with people like Direct D, LongIslandAudit, The Roaming Stoner, they don't hate police they want reform. They want proper training, they want the cops to actually know the law.

    • @OnlyCops
      @OnlyCops  4 місяці тому +3

      I agree that the concept of auditing is done in the spirit of reform and we are firm believers that police are and should be public servants. But, the same way there are plenty of examples of bad cops doing their job dishonorably or out right unlawfully; there is a decent part of the auditing community that is equally ignorant of the law and simply trying to goat officers into confrontations for lawsuits or click baiting content.
      If you watch our lives you'll see that we spend more time calling out bad polcy/policing than we do covering puff pieces. We catch more actual misconduct on police bodycam footage than most auditors do with cellphones. I'd like to see more auditors come to the table with solutions now that we collectively have enough complaints.

    "I should have kept that Ring Camera footage." ... I am sure that Ring has kept it given how many times they've, illegally and without warrant, handed over footage to law enforcement that had been deleted by the user.
    While I agree with you, I believe the Captain riding with Nolan was a "I would never assign anyone to do something I wouldn't do myself" type move. Basically, taking not just full responsibility but full risk of the situation if things go wrong.

    I attended a Polytechnic High School (job/career oriented), GPA based, basically meaning you had to want to be there. We had no gang violence on campus and only two major fights my entire four years. The school came down hard to ensure it wouldn't continue to happen (for instance, my freshman year two girls fought over a boy, their friends jumped in, a teacher was injured, and the school ended up suspending 50 students. They did not mess around).
    That said, we did have a gang related death because it was Fresno, CA in the 90s: a 15 yr old Hmong student. His mother didn't understand English and didn't understand what was happening when a punk tried to take her purse. The idiot criminal decided to shoot her instead of letting go of the purse and her son stepped in the way. I still remember his empty desk across the room when we found out. Students planted a tree in his name and it's massive now.

    "Transparency" - There are many PDs out there that still get around transparency by refusing BWC access "because there is an ongoing investigation" and doing the "we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong" trick.

      You're 100% right, I don't mind the ongoing investigation portion (just because some of that info only the suspect would know like murder weapons and sequence of events). But at the end of it all, everything should be public record and police departments should never do criminal investigations on themselves or their own people. It's too big of a conflict of interest
