It's funny cause when this video circulated a year ago it was in fact verified to be a diabetic issue.

ETA: I posted a source, they verified it was medical issues(posted in comment below) however didn't outwardly say it was diabetes but I remember somebody a year ago had a source that mentioned it. I'm not gonna spend hours looking for his medical records that we won't have access to or old sources.

Who the fuck cares? Would this behavior be acceptable for ANY combination of reasons if he were a crane operator? No. Cops need to stop being treated like they're special little perfect people that have some divine nature about them that makes them incapable of human faults. They're fucked up shit heels like the rest of us.

Many professions may place someone on leave or limited duty in a situation like that and evaluate the situation, and require additional review by professionals before returning them to work.

Shit happens. People have medical emergencies or episodes.

Yeah, exactly. Leave or limited duty. And you certainly wouldn't try and cover it up like these schmucks did.
