From an earlier article:

“But Baltimore County police say Johnson got into a rumble with officers Thursday after crashing his Toyota pickup truck near a busy highway interchange, and continued fighting after being doused with pepper spray and receiving an initial hit from a Taser.”

Does a guy in a diabetic reaction fight with a bunch of cops?

Maybe, but I doubt it. It can make a person act drunk, however.

No, but he doesn’t respond to commands which they use as a free pass to beat him to death.

Dang! If that's true, I do apologize for my previous remarks. Maybe it was just a bad situation.

“Does a guy in a diabetic reaction fight with a bunch of cops?”

Yes, they do. When someone is in a diabetic crisis, they can act inebriated. They can also fight since they aren’t in their right minds due to the medical crisis they are undergoing. From my understanding, this is taught at rookie schools. One way to tell if a person is having a diabetic crisis rather than being drunk is they smell “like fruit” or sweet (no alcohol smell). What concerns me about this case is that people with head injuries can also become violent. The car was involved in a crash. Multiple officers were on the scene... therefore, there was enough manpower to simply restrain/handcuff the individual without constant beating and tazing. My son recently turned 16... and some people wonder why I am more afraid of him driving due to the police than what most parents fear about teen drivers.

And how was he able to lead them on a high-speed chase while having a diabetic reaction?

the cops applied pressure points to his ears and armpits

When those points are pressed hard it's an automatic reaction to pull away,
and it seems these police use this tactic to force a reaction to claim resisting.
And you can take that to the bank..
