re: #88 RogueOne

Since I missed the torture thread I’ll post this here:

Holy shit. Where did this happen?

I’m diabetic, and have had several diabetic seizures over the years. EMT always shows up accompanied by the police -and the police are trained to stand back out of the way, or to render assistance when asked. They are well informed about seizures of different kinds, so if they arrive first they can at least make sure the victim doesn’t thrash against something hard and heavy, and hurt themselves.

The kind of behavior described here is beyond inexcusable, especially since there were EMT personnel on the scene who certainly informed the police of what was going on.

Sounds like the victim was, after a very long time, OK (recovery from a seizure typically takes minutes once glucose is administered, not months). I wish him good luck and an early retirement when he wins several lawsuits against the morons who attacked him. Although if I were him, I’d probably move somewhere else, given that property taxes will have to be raised to cover his court awards.
