That video has a lot of great learning points, and is a fantastic look at how quickly someone can bleed out.
Specific to the TQ application, you're right on about the gloves....take the time to do it. 2nd takeaway to do better next time would be to slow down and definitively locate the bleed.....maybe I missed it, but it seemed like he was sort of just guessing how high to put it. To mitigate the risk of missing the wound(s) in a high stress situation (there may be multiple and you might miss one, especially with secondary effect blast injuries), best practice is to place the TQ as high as possible on the injured limb. By making this our default response, we won't have to worry about missing a bleed.
Overall great job by the officers. While taking a breath to slow down would have been beneficial, that was great work and fantastic initiative on carrying the ankle kit. By happenstance I went through my trauma kits today to replace expired/deteriorating items, maybe this is a good reminder for us all to do the same as things tend to fall by the wayside but it might be our partner we're aiding in the next video that gets thrown up here.

I really, really like her shot cadence as she works to engage a partial target at felony car stop distances. This contrasts nicely with the video of the AR magazine dump by the panicked officer.
