A diabetic in ketosis will smell drunk and act befuddled and possibly belligerent.
Nothing that a face slam to the pavement and a night without medical attention in the drunk tank won’t cure, permanently.
I have heard of that before. I know there are many reasons for a person to seem chemically impaired. It seems to me that the vulgarity and coarseness in society is not limited to the inner city thugs or the maniacal left. It also seems to include many in law enforcement. Judicious use of force and prudence in dealing with the general public is what I expect/demand of those given the great privilege and power over that public. Once it became acceptable for cops to see the civilian population as “them”, they have become tyrants and nearly Gestapo-like in their attitudes. I rarely weep these days for a shot cop, because I am never certain if what happened was ordained to happen due to their actions and programming.
