Portland cops kicked volunteer medic's first aid kit away as she tried to help dying Trump supporter in new video

PORTLAND, OREGON: Fresh footage shows SWAT team members kicking away a volunteer medic's first aid kit away as she tried to help a Trump supporter who was tragically shot to death in riot-torn Portland on August 29.

The new footage emerged just days after Patriot Prayer member Aaron Jay Danielson was killed by rioters execution-style in the Oregon capital, which has been ravaged by violent protests since the Memorial Day death of George Floyd in May this year.



 

Danielson was wearing a Thin Blue Line hat when rioters shot him dead on August 29.

While police haven't arrested anyone for the killing, insiders told The Oregonian that they were looking at alleged suspect Michael Reinoehl, a 48-year-old father-of-two with a lengthy rap sheet who describes himself '100% ANTIFA' online. According to the Daily Mail, Reinoehl was turned over to cops by his own sister. She recognized him in photos and videos from the said night's melee.

Danielson is seen in new disturbing footage lying on the tarmac after having just been shot. One of his pals, who was walking ahead at the time, ran over to him in shock and quickly flipped him from his stomach onto his back. The video shows two street medics arrive at the scene, one of them being Sierra Boyne, who claims she has been rendering aid on the streets ever since the protests began in Portland.

As soon as Boyne sat next to Danielson, Danielson's friend shoved her away — assuming she was just another protester and not realizing she was trying to help. When she chose to carry on and pulled out her first aid kit, a patrol of SWAT police in riot gear rushed in and kicked the box away while moving the crowd back from the shooting victim.

That said, it is still unclear when Danielson was formally pronounced dead or how long after the shooting EMTs arrived at the scene. "Did anyone see what happened?" riot police were seen on video asking the crowds. In response, bystanders pleaded that Danielson needed medical attention. "I was one of two medics on scene when the man who died last night was shot," Boyne later tweeted. "I barely had time to begin an examination before the cops pushed me and baton-ed me off his body."

She continued, "That man was alive when I left and it will haunt me for the rest of my life that they screamed about having a 'real medic' and none was on scene and that man not but 20 minutes later was confirmed dead. When I close my eyes I can only see his face and the murderous rage in the eyes of a cop abusing me to force me away from helping him as best I could."



 

Earlier this summer, Boyne was reportedly seen on video describing herself as a medically trained professional.

"I knew I was first aid trained so when I saw tiny little explosions and stuff, I grabbed my first aid kit and ran out into the street, helping people and doing what I could," Boyne said. "I've been out here every night since. I have my fancy little medic bag. It's an important cause and one worth fighting for and my skills were best used as first aid relief and medical relief," she added.

Witnesses expressed disgust at the sight of protesters celebrating the Trump supporter's death on the streets.

Former Marine and Portland resident Gabriel Johnson bemoaned how he heard people on the street saying they "weren't sad" that a "Nazi fascist" had lost his life. "This is such a tragic event and a polarizing event for our city... And one of the things that I just came back with, and I was appalled by, is all of the people in the street celebrating," he told Fox and Friends.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has threatened to send in federal troops as well as deploy the National Guard in a bid to regain control of the Democrat-run city.
