Very unsettling. Why does he pull a gun and kick at the window when they pulled him over for "drunk driving"? And why does not 6 police officers see that the man does not have regular motor control? And why do they feel the need to kick him while he's down, breaking his ribs?

Is diabetic shock something that can come on quickly? I am just wondering why he was driving in this state, the only explenation (besides stupidity) I can think of is if hit him while he was already driving.

I don't believe a fine is enough. Whenever something like this happens, it should be the end of the line for the police responsible, fire them and prohibit them ever from serving again, they can't handle the responsibility that comes with it.

I'm not intending on bashing U.S. Police, because for example, even tho here in Romania this kind of stuff would never happen, another thing would happen, you could get stabbed in front of a police men and receive no help because cops here won't risk their life to save a civilian.

I'm not intending on bashing U.S. Police, because for example, even tho here in Romania this kind of stuff might not happen as much due to the more restricted nature of police, however, another thing might happen, you could get stabbed in front of a police men and receive no help because cops here might not risk their life to save a civilian.

While the OP may not intend for this to turn into a "European vs. US police" thread, it will. The OP contributes to the situation in the following ways:



If you aren't interesting in making this a US cop bashing thread, why even make an out-the-ass comment about how it would never happen in Romania? I know you probably have good intentions but you are setting up this thread for a bad future by saying this.

Also you SUCK at qualifying your statements, watch:



You speak in absolutes yet cite no sources or data to substantiate your claims. If you want to be abstract about it, be abstract and qualify your statements and back up what you say with information from your own experience or that of others.

IMO: This situation is an exception to the rule, US police don't make a policy of beating sick people.

Typically not. You can usually feel it coming. In certain circumstances (you mismeasured your insulin, you accidentally took two injections, you haven't eaten, etc.) when you are focused on other things, it can hit pretty sudden and hard.

Edit: I have had one situation like this. I started driving, felt 100% fine, and then I could feel it was coming. By the time I pulled off to a convenience store to get some sugar, I was in a very bad state and couldn't drive straight. I don't know why it hit so suddenly that time.

Now I usually, but not always, have my insulin and something sugary with me when driving on the highway.

First of all, police brutality and this incident is really sad and messed up. However, the problem of police brutality is an example of a vicious cycle. We tend to hear more stories about police brutality than good deeds by the police, and this affects our general perception of police. For example, in the US a common phrase is "fuck the police", and people often drop it casually. For the police, many of whom risk their lives to ensure public safety, all of them are impacted negatively by the actions of a few brutal police, and thus a gulf emerges between police and populace. When the populace that you are supposed to be protecting is hostile to you, then incidents of police brutality, which increases hostility towards police, etc, until the system is broken.

Hm...

So, I assume you two have statistics showing that the majority of police are corrupt and lazy, right? "1 in 100,000"? You got that number from a peer reviewed journal?

Fucking fourteen year olds.
