I watched a video the other night where a cop tased a guy having a grand mal epileptic seizure in his own bedroom. His wife had called 911 for medical assistance, but the cop showed up first. Walked into the bedroom, accused the guy of being drunk, started fighting him, and then tased him.

The man has no recollection of this, because again, he was in the middle of a grand mal seizure. Two more cops showed up before the ambulance, and they were real heroes. They help tackle the guy having a grand mal seizure, and they handcuffed him. The wife was begging them to get medical help for her husband, but she was having a hard time communicating, because French is her native language. She's from West Africa.

The man woke up in the hospital being interrogated by a cop, who placed him under arrest and handcuffed him to his bed, even though he'd already been diagnosed as having suffered from ... a grand mal epileptic seizure.

A assistant district attorney later charged the man with assault on police officers and on his wife, based on the cop's written report that the man hit his wife in the cop's presence. That was a lie, as later discovered by examination of the cop's own body cam footage, which shows no such thing.

And again, the man was having a grand mal seizure. He needed an ambulance and a hospital. Not cops beating on him and tasing him.

The man was discharged from the emergency room at 9:00 a.m. the next day under arrest, and he was transported to jail.

After he was charged and booked, he was released, in his hospital gown and without his cell phone. He walked two miles (in a state of extreme confusion and disorientation owing to the fact that he had just suffered a grand mal epileptic seizure) to a gas station, where the employees actually helped him — gave him clothes, food and water then assisted him in getting home.

Protect and serve, my ass.

(All charges against a man were later dropped. The local police chief has fiercely defended his cop's behavior.)
