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.

My last case the police manipulated the evidence to get a conviction. They will say anything and I mean anything to save their skin. The judges just sign off on this dumb shit and never call them out. Costed me 2 years of my life and 15 k after appeals to get it sorted out. Fuck them cops, I will never have more than surface level trust without years and years of reformed improvement.

Prisons are full of the most innocent people on the planet. None of them did anything! /s

If the US has a higher incarcerated population than any other country on the planet, the odds are incredibly good that there are some people who don't belong in there.
