Well yeah, there's that. Let's all focus on the cop rather than the fact that she shouldn't have been driving to begin with.

Fine, lets just ban every diabetic from driving. Problem solved. Even if the woman was wrong to drive, it does not make the un-named cop innocent of electrocuting a defenseless woman. I know she challenged his super-cop ego, and she had to be taught a lesson, but he shouldn't leave the taxpayers on the hook.

"Fine, lets just ban every diabetic from driving."

No, just those who are catatonic.

"Even if the woman was wrong to drive ..."

Whoa! Stop right there! IF she was wrong to drive? Are you saying there's some doubt about whether this woman was capable of driving?

And what's with the "even if"? It's the "even if" that brought about the problem to begin with.

AFAIC, all bets are off once this woman got behind the wheel in that condition -- she has no excuse, none, to drive impaired. Drunk or hypoglycemic, she could have killed someone.
