Driver Suffering From Medical Emergency Suing Deputies In Arrest

The attorney's job is to throw EVERYTHING at the wall and see what sticks. He's paid to do that.
My client wasn't there.
If my client was there, he didn't shoot.
If my client did shoot, it was self-defense.
It it wasn't self-defense, it was an illness.
If it wasn't illness, it was society's fault.

 

Your not wrong but....i dont know about you. Unless something was very very seriously wrong, if a cop was trying to pull me over id do everything in my power to let him get me out. A lot of the facts to this one dont line up well, especially because he kept it between the lines for an entire hour. But if he was truely out cold and the cops did as accused then yes. Thats an issue. And after my scare with mom last year where she went a little cray cray while suffering sepsis i can confirm it messes with your mind.

That said I wasnt there, i havent seen the vids, the body cams or anything else. So this is a matter for the courts. If he was sick and the cops beat the #### out of him. They should get slapped and the one(s) who did the beating or were in charge shpuld have legal consiquinces. If he wasnt and this is just an excuse then he got his lumps and gets what he gets.

 

All he had to do was call 911 and explain he had sepsis and it was getting messy.

 

Sepsis happened to my father-in law. You do not know you have it most of the time. No pain, no symptoms till it is too late. ER docs said It was caused by a urinary tract infection that had been slowly brewing since he passed a kidney stone a couple weeks prior. He was hours from death and completely out of it. Normal one minute and then it was like a bad diabetic blood sugar drop. He had no clue.

 

It's not only technology that is getting frequent updates. The excuses people make to avoid responsibility also are getting frequent updates. I take no position on the medical condition being real or imagined and on the cops behaving properly or dangerously.

 

I had sepsis a few years ago from a urinary tract infection. I had no clue what was happening. Thought maybe a bit of flu, just didn't feel good for a couple of days. All of sudden within a few hours it just raged out of control. My wife said it was like I was falling down drunk and crazy out of my head. She got me to the ER, doc said another hour and I would have been dead. I was in ICU for a week and hospitalized for 2 more weeks after that.

 

Don't go into diabetic shock either.

 

You definitely don’t mess with Sepsis. I had it last summer, was in the hospital for 3 days, off work for the week. I was delirious, if I had waited an hour longer to go the ER i probably wouldn’t be here right now.
