Lawsuit: Police Arrested Man Having Heart Attack

[BOP]

That'll teach him to have a heart attack in public, by gawd!

The cops probably went home and beat off to "Roadhouse," or something. May have even invited the geniuses who administered tranquilizers to a man having an apparent heart attack.

I don't want to watch - what'd the guy do that the cops arrested him? Having a heart attack isn't against the law that I'm aware of.

You're not wrong. Still, the po-po have to at least go through the motions.

Okay, they used to have to go through the motions, back when the world was more sane.

As for administering a tranquilizer to someone who, by all accounts so far, was clearly in medical distress? I wanna know where that 1st responder got their certification; a Cracker-Jack box?

See, if I make a mistake at my job nobody is gonna die. But my work doesn't involve interacting with druggies, criminals, and other assorted shitbags.

I'll bet doctors kill and injure more people through negligence than cops do, yet we still like them for some reason.
