A state investigation in Bridgeport, Connecticut, has revealed that after the police shot Dyshan Best, he had to wait an additional 10 minutes for an ambulance. All because a police officer, experiencing a “mild anxiety attack,” took the first emergency vehicle that arrived on the scene.
The report from the state’s inspector general, Eliot Prescott, did conclude that the shooting itself was justified because Best had a gun and the officer pursuing him feared for his safety. However, the investigator had serious concerns about why Best, a Black man, was left without medical care when he was bleeding internally with severe injuries.
