"Rivero was in a coma after flatlining in an ambulance but has since been released and is now suing for damages of at least $75,000.

If the description and video is accurate 75,000 dollars is not enough! For the record I am an advocate for cops, but this was wrong. When young I was in a car wreck. I had a dislocated and broken femur pelvis with internal injuries and a severe concussion. When I regained consciousnesses I was in the hospital in ER and combative. The knocked me out with some drug. Later when I awoke in a hospital bed I was in restraints with good reason. I was young and strong and combative. It was a function of the concussion, pain and fear. I did not know where I was or what was happening so I fought. I suspect the kid in this video was totally disoriented but I saw no sign of combativeness.

I forgot to add that I live in Bell County Texas. I have been stopped a few times for speeding. They State Troopers and Bell County Officers were always polite and professional as was I. I am always armed where legal. When the officer would walk up to my car I would have my permit and insurance in hand and immediately tell the officer I was armed and when the weapon was. I treated them with respect and honesty and they did the same for me and a couple of times just got a warning.

There are bad cops is true statement. They are few and the good cops hate them.

There is something about being in a trauma that brings out the adrenaline and can make people violent. The adrenaline in a trauma can also cause people not to think strait like this kid. I’m sure he did not know what planet he was on. He had no idea what the officer was saying to him, the officer might as well have been standing there speaking Greek.

I just posted another story that I truly don’t get one with cops in a Nervous Hospital. Like that guy would understand.
