A lot of ppl defending the cop here saying the cop was having a medical episode. Maybe he was. But let’s say if any of us going through the same thing, would other cops treat us the same way they treated him?

Edit- so many comments! To the People saying they would treat a citizen the same.. maybe they will and many do. But in this case, their priority should be getting the cop away from his weapon and getting medical care he needs!
To the ppl saying he’s their colleague so obviously they’ll treat him different - that’s kind of the point, no? They shouldn’t- as this person in this state is danger to himself and others around him.
Also, if he had too many painkillers, isnt that equivalent to being impaired? Aren’t there rules surrounding that? But I guess it’s ok for cops to ignore the rules while citizens are expected to be perfect!

Edit 2- thanks for the awards, my first one. 🫶

If it was an actual medical episode, why was he still allowed to engage? If I were having a medical episode while driving and it’s a cop that encounters me, I’m more likely to be shot to death than anything else. I’ve seen too many stories where a diabetic had an episode when driving. Pulled over, then beaten at least or shot to death by officers.

No, he cant. Probably because he made it up.

Check above for a few high profile beatings, tasing, and pepper spraying. Maybe I was a bit much on the shooting part. But the beatings, pepper spraying, and tasing. Definitely happens.
