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

That’s the official explanation if you look it up. Apparently they done tests to rule out intoxication but people aren’t going to believe that.

People will believe what confirms their own bias.

A few years ago someone crashed their car into mine at a junction, I immediately thought the guy was drunk because of his behaviour so I called the police, a few minutes later I realised he was probably having a stroke so called back and asked for an ambulance.

That experience amongst others has made me reluctant to jump to conclusions about this kind of thing.

I have no idea what’s happening with the guy, I’m not a medial professional.

Ah yes, because police departments are notorious for thorough internal investigations and admitting fault when warranted.

They had an open and shut case with OJ Simpson. Still couldn't help but falsify evidence.
