00:50 - 01:03 What is happening?
The Officer is struggling to secure the TQ. Why? He removes it and tries again

01:07 - 01:20 What is happening?
Both Officers struggle to secure the CAT. Why?

If you look closely, he is applying the CAT upside down. He has placed the Windless Rod and Clip down on the patients skin. You can see the writing from the underside of the Stabilizing Plate visible in both attempts.

This is why training matters. Stress, blood covered hands, everything is working against you. You must be able to do this when it matters. In this case the suspect survived.
