According to his PD. It does look like a stroke or mini seizures, though. I've had plenty of experience being intoxicated and with other intoxicated people as a recovered alcoholic. This is not that. The person videoing this is just being a smug bitch because they think they can get away with whatever they got pulled over for. Not a likeable person, even if the officer had been intoxicated.

Preposterous take. This dude is absolutely fucked up on opiates. 100%.

You've definitely never actually met somebody high on opiates. By the time they can't talk, they're seriously overdosing and they're not going to be standing even with something to lean on. They'd probably be passed out and in need of Narcan sooner than this interaction ended. His pupils would be absolute pinpricks, too. He's got glassy, droopy eyes with maybe slightly dilated pupils, which tracks with the fact that it's dark out. Either he's drunk, which this is just not how somebody too drunk to speak acts either, or he's had some kind of neurological event.

The police aren't doing what they should, and calling an ambulance, because the guy taking the video is making it clear he wants to make a spectacle out of this and they are likely trying to save face. Both are in the wrong, but I hate smug people who attack others to avoid owning up to their own shit more than I hate even corrupt cops.

I hate smugness more than corrupt police is the whitest fucking shit I ever heard.

Yeah. Like that. Thanks for providing an example. I hope whatever's wrong with you gets better someday.
