There was no police abuse, they didn't abuse the woman or use deadly force on her, they were given poor information and she had a pre-existing condition.
How is this an abuse case, especially when the error rate is stated as being 1/5th of 1%? That is a low error rate for any activity where humans are related.

These type of accidents in the course are not that common, for if it were, the pro-illegal-drug advocates here would be posting every one of them.

WRONG!

Let us think of some examples. If your car broke down and needed to be towed 1/5th of 1% of the times you used it, you would stop using it.

If a family member died 1/5th of 1% of the times you stayed in a hotel, no one would patronize them.

If airplanes crashed 1/5th of 1% of the times they took off no one would fly.

she had a pre-existing condition

Like it or not, when an ordinary citizen is at fault in an accident, a pre-existing condition does not lessen liability. The same should be true for law enforcement.
