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.

Exactly. And thanks for posting it. This is something everyone needs to know. It may help save a loved one someday. Time is crucial.
