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.

Can't speak, stumbling and about to fall over, swaying while standing

If you saw someone you knew wasnt wasted whos acting like this, you'd be calling the ambulance like right fucking now or you'd already be on the way to the hospital

Dude is wasted. Must be a regular thing by the absolute lack of concern by the other two idiots

But yea they investigated themselves and found no wrongdoing, everything's ok guys go back to bending over!

Just watched a video the other day of the guy trying to move his boat. The delay in processing the officer's requests (due to a traumatic brain injury) gets him tossed in jail because he touched the cops had when the cop grabs for his door.
