[John Leland 1789]

“Yeah.......coppers have a way of causing cardiac artery plaque buildup, right?

“If so, there’d be a whole lot of twenty-somethings needing bypasses. This 50 y/o has been eating fat for a long time, and his bypass number came up.”

Are you taking the side of the police in this? At the very least, those officers could have seen the man to a hospital to make certain he was alright. That would have been a legitimate public service not violating any regulations. They could have called the EMTs on the spot.

Had the man been merely acting, he could have been charged with interfering with police officers in the performance of their duties, and other such.

Regardless of how police officers are capable of making mistakes as are any other human beings, their training should have made room for this man to be checked out, since they discovered on the spot that the stop and rough handling was their error.

No, they just abandoned this man. NOT good public service.

The day will be coming when some LEOs taser or pepper spray some five year old dressed up for Halloween with a plastic pirate sword, killing the child. The over-the-top "cops do no wrong" will come to the immediate defense of the thugs in blue, saying that he deserved it for dressing up as a terrorist and carrying a dangerous weapon.

American liberty is as much threatened by the "law 'n' order" types who wrongly call themselves conservatives as they are by the "nanny state" socialists who want to regulate every aspect of human life.
