I've never done that and no, it probably wouldn't be reasonable for me. I would likely call the cops and have them look. Is it reasonable for a police officer to follow up where his shot went? Especially with back up? Indeed. What was the union rep going to do?
Correction, Union Rep. I can tell when my initial thoughts are correct when the person responding won't be honest about the situation.
He knew he shot someone whether he admitted to it or not.
The article says they were instructed to NOT go in.
Which article? This whole thing is Zimmerman 2.0 with reporters purposely and unethically modifying their news reports.
In court, we know Peter Liang was NOT trained to perform CPR while the media painted him as a heartless bastard standing there and letting the victim die!

They were prepared to make a call to someone who is.
To which, they did make the call. Please look at the court testimony not the unethical news reports.

He also said Liang couldn’t be blamed for not trying to perform CPR on Gurley, because poor training left him feeling that he couldn’t be of assistance.
“Peter Liang said he didn't do CPR because he followed procedure. He saw Akai Gurley wasn't doing good and knew to get help right away," Brown said."
Lawyers are certainly no more ethical than reporters. So the cop was trained?
I've had very basic training and I could certainly give it a go.
That was from court testimony! Why are you trying to discredit that?
I have basic training too but I would certainly NOT give it a go when blood was pouring out a hole on his chest. I'd probably just push his to death if I started CPR. I am not doctor and certainly don't know what would happen to the victim if CPR was performed.
No reasonable person would do that. CPR is NOT a magical treatment. If you had the training, you would know it may only improves the survival rate a few percentage - hugely depends on what kind of issue.

This was the rare instance where the law worked for the people.
