[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure if the guy was high, mentally ill, or had a medical emergency.  I doubt talking to him further would get him in the ambulance.  I’m not sure what else the cop is supposed to do.  It may look scary to a regular person, but I don’t think tasing him was unreasonable.  I’m surprised he was charged and would be interested to know what his superior thought he should do with an uncooperative patient. [/quote]

So your uneducated opinion is why we need more training. I don’t expect you to understand because you are clearly not educated on how to respond to a medical emergency.

If this were somebody with a diabetic reaction?

EMT have calls like this every hour. They don’t need a taser to get people in the midst of a medical emergency in an ambulance.

It’s pathetic you think it’s okay.[/quote]

My brother is a very large autistic man and this is one of our fears. And we're white.[/quote]
