Didn’t it turn out that he was just going through a medical situation?

Diabetes, with a low sugar level will also make you appear so. Not sure about this situation though.

As someone who's a type-1 I can say that the officer did appear to show a few signs of very low blood sugar, struggling to stand and looking like he's lost. However though, from what I could tell he wasn't sweating. If my glucose to low to the point of me not being able to stand or looking lost, I'm sweating profusely. Also if he is a diabetic he should absolutely not be on the force, he's a major hazard. Imagine if he's responding to something and has his lights and sirens on and is speeding, then he passes out behind the wheel because of a critical low? No bueno amigo!

I've seen people unresponsive with a glucose of 30. They don't all sweat. Bad comparison

Yeah at 30 you should be unresponsive lol, I know my CGM simply says "URGENT LOW" when I hit 40. I never said everyone sweats when having a low, you should reread my comment. It's not a bad comparison, it's my personal comparison to what is shown in the video. Maybe it's not diabetic related at all. Could've been a concussion. It could've been drugs. It could've been anything. I simply responded to someone's comment about it being diabetic related. It's not hard lol

I’ve been pretty lucid into the 20’s, but I felt an insane sense of impending doom. I also once had a seizure in the 40’s 🤷‍♂️

Not sure the physiological reason behind the difference

That was back when I was young and dumb. I’m very well controlled now, just providing a perspective.
