they should have taken him to the hospital after the first tests were negative, or let him go.

Any cop who hasn't been trained to check for symptoms of a stroke shouldn't be on the street.

1.) Ask them to smile.

2.) Ask them to raise both hands above their heads. (Cops can do this from sheer instinct.)

3.) Ask them to repeat a simple sentence.

If the person can't do these things an immediate trip to the ER is in order. If treated within 3 hours of occurence most stroke victims recover almost completely.

Part of the suit should involve watching a nurse aide take care of a stroke patient. It's NOT pretty sometimes.
