L.A. Mayor Karen Bass renders first aid to injured news photographer

https://ktla.com/news/local-news/l-a-mayor-karen-bass-performs-first-aid-after-news-photographer-collapses/

The incident unfolded at the L.A. Police Department’s training academy in Elysian Park where Bass joined LAPD Chief Michel Moore in congratulating the graduating class of recruits.

According to KNX News Radio reporter Craig Fiegener, who witnessed the incident, the photographer collapsed and hit his head on the ground.

Bass, who worked as a nurse and physician assistant before getting into politics, checked that he was breathing and then took his pulse.

Despite the presence of numerous police officers, “the only one who immediately knew what to do was the mayor” Fiegener recalled, adding that he has known the photographer for more than a decade and was personally shaken up by the incident.

Caruso had constant leads. He had many commercials and some events. The media pretty much said Caruso for the win because Bass was lacking the numbers.

When I woke up the next morning, Bass had won.

Caruso, Mr Billionaire, was popping the champagne corks. How cynical to pretend that he--lifelong Republican--was a Democrat.

So relieved when Bass won over that wolf in sheep’s clothing, developer Caruso. The only reason the polling was close is because of the homeless issue that he really hit hard in his ads and platform. If you live in Los Angeles, anyone claiming a plan to deal with the issue is going to be appealing.

Karen Bass is a true Angeleno and represents the true spirit of the community here, not the uber wealthy gentrifies.
