Imagine that you are right and a person is on drugs; what kind of inhumane psychopath do you have to be to see someone having a medical emergency - regardless of the cause - and think that the police are the best people to deal with the situation?
Since we’ve killed most useful programs in the US, that’s pretty much how it goes. I fucking hate this place.
You would only have to uncritically believe what you were told growing up by state PSAs, sitcoms, cartoons, teachers, librarians, medical professionals, therapists, other police officers, religious leaders, and probably your parents and grandparents. Every shadow you see on the cave wall tells you that the police are the answer to every problem.
Once he’s been shot by the police, maybe the city has to pay for the ambulance?
HA.
If the police shoot you you probably have to pay for the bullet.
Middle to upper class white Anglo Saxton protestant?
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. <— These filth
Reason number * I’m glad I don’t live in america
These kind of news make even Russia look better than America.
Well, I’ve been in a situation where person had a stroke and everyone just assumed they were on drugs. Although the. ambulance have been called and not the police, but I still felt really bad for the person as everyone around them talked about how they went for a smoke not so long ago and definitely took something and were on drugs. And it was in Russia, so yeah, assholes can be found anywhere
Wow. Where did this happen? Now I feel horrible.
Well, it didn’t make to the news, and the person in question eventually returned back to work, so it all ended well I guess. It was in one of the smaller cities in the eastern part of Russia, let’s say that it was Tomsk.
And I also know a person who had some medical condition, something tells me that it was diabetes, but I can be wrong. So they fell unconcious in the winter and ended up laying in the snow for quite some time. And it was long enough for their fingers to be amputated. And the scariest thing that it was in a relatively crowded place, so there were a lot of people who could have helped them, but decided to just ignore them.
And don’t feel horrible, it’s just some of the stories, and they don’t represent the whole picture. Also I tend to notice that usually all the horrible stuff is just easier to notice and remember and all the good things feel natural and just go by. At least it is true for me :)

This isn’t just you. It seems like our brain gets somehow triggered by negativity. This is the exact same reason the rights use fear to pass their messages and the same reason why headlines usually play with the fear of the people, because then more people will read the article.
Heatstroke and dehydration can present as confusion, usually accompanied by anger.
Had it pretty bad once while in the military, and this sums up how I felt exactly. Dumb people in a dumb situation almost ended up with me in a lot of trouble.
No lol, those article are about the same Incident. Although I’m sure it has happened some other time
Same story reported a year later
I can’t imagine working in a hot place and not having one person in charge constantly handing out bottles of water and reminding everyone to hydrate. I guess I’ve been lucky with my managers and supervisors over the years, never met one who didn’t take this stuff seriously.
Omg hes on drugs better kill him, shame really
