I should think police would know a little about meds and their possible side effects, but I guess they leave that training to the paramedics.
The PTB don't WANT cops smart enough to use common sense, much less smart enough to reason that the man's diabetes requires medical treatment.
Another crying shame — weren’t situations like this why the taser was invented? Police today too easily let themselves slip into being judge/jury/executioner rather than rescuing hero. And courts dare not question such crying shames. Is anyone awake at the wheel any more?
I had one of those.
I didn't find it particularly objectionable, but my doctor took me off of them anyway.
No sense of humor, that one.
Survivors claim they called for an ambulance/paramedics, however, LE seems to have arrived first.
And then this: Police also say they were informed Roberson had attempted to commit suicide and was being combative while on their way to his residence.
If true, and there "weren't two decent knives in the house", one wonders how was the deceased attempting to commit suicide? Think we are short on facts here.
Sometimes when a Diabetic has messed up blood sugar they can get aggressive. And Very strong.
Add a knife to the mix and it will end poorly.
They do know, they just like shooting people with flimsly excuses more.
