Eyewitness: Police Brutality at the RNC - Street Medics
by R. Westlund, Petros Evdokas, and the Portland Street Medics


"... the pair of Portland Medics came across a man running backwards, 
wrapping a woman's cut open and bleeding hand while they both yelled for 
a medic. The medics took over the patient and the man disappeared into 
the crowd. The 20-second pause to attempt an evaluation of the patient's 
hand resulted in the police behind gaining ground and having a chance to 
deploy more chemical weapons. The medics began running again, patient in 
tow, one medic guiding her while the other finished the wrapping job on 
her hand. While doing this, the medics came upon a young man limping and 
yelling for help, 'I can't run! Help!'"

Friends,
Many thanks for your solidarity and for all your help - it's only your 
help that enables all of the support work for the arrested Street Medics 
to take place in actuality.

In gratitude,
Petros
