The same thing happened to my son in Tulsa Oklahoma this September. I wrote the Tulsa police department but they said they had accted approbriatly since he was belligerant (True). They did not have an explanation for handcuffing him OVER his diabetic alert bracelet without noticing it.
There are many reported incidents of diabetics being "misdiagnosed" as drunk or drugged. The police have been known to do so, as have others. The problem with the episode described here is not limited to diabetics, rather suggests an out of control police department. Unfortunately, in your attempt to condemn the police force, you displayed your own ignorance of the diabetic condition, further demonstrating that people do not know enough about this disease. Diabetics have insulin reactions (they have too much insulin in their system, and not enough glucose) they do not have "attacks" nor do they have "seizures". A seizure would, without a doubt, be an indication of an entirely separate medical condition, and the man would not have been able to speak!
What can you expect from Clinton's Socialist Republic? Actually it goes a lot deeper than that. Unfortunatly, we are all Slaves to Civil Service. The shitty part about it is that it takes someone filing up a UHaul with explosives for Americans to open their eyes. "The Matrix" pretty much says it all. We are slaves from day 1. Certificate of Birth, Social Security Number and other forms of "invisible chains" are proof.
This is a dam shame I really understand what he was going thorough poor fellow I truly hope that someone will stop these thugs who call themselves defenders of the people
Interesting story here, I came back from the 2001 4th of July weekend to find my car had been towed away on a Sunday morning in Burbank Ca. The excuse the Burbank PD gave was that they had to pave the street. They however don't pave streets on Sundays. Anyway, when I called about getting my car back, I was not given any info as to what the violation was, just that as the telephone operator stated I was guilty for parking. After a it was apparent that the person on the other end of the phone was not interested in helping or informing me about the situation I became frustrated, not angry and I never used foul language. I actually told the person I was not directing anything against her. Then the thought came to my mind which I told her "You wonder why McVeigh did what he did" I could tell from the silence and her attitude she took that as a threat. I told her, I am not threating you nor did I mean anything by that. She responded by "We'll see about this when you get down here". Well when I arrived with several friends, I knew this would be brought up, I also knew I was within my rights and there was 100% no threat ever made. However the Lt. in charged decided to run my personal history and give me a speech. I stopped him immediately and told him this was not acceptable that if I had made a threat he would be arrestting me not giving me a lecture. The operator was there and became upset when I stopped him. For some reason this mentally ill woman feels that saying a person's name whether dead or alive is a threat. "OJ SIMPSON, JACK THE RIPPER or BUNBY". If anyone needed a lecture it was the telephone operator. She then refused to help me or release my car to me. A detective had to come do the paper work. Remember at the Burbank Police Department when you enter the public lobby your separated from all employees by 2" of bullet proof glass. Does this make any sense, they have the guns, the bullet proof vests and they still need to be behind bullet proof glass? I got the feeling that Burnank PD or Burbank city was run by Nazi's. The public is all guilty and we are below them. "To protect and serve", that's a bunch of bull. $260 later my car was released to me, I asked the day I went to the PD for a hearing or trial. I was told I had to have a hearing with an officer first, then his approval. I sent in my requests and as I supected they found nothing wrong with towing cars on Sundays. Now im told that I need to submit a form to request a hearing, all these things appear as stall tactics or ways to get you to not have a trial. As if another officer will side against each other on a ticket? So finally I get a letter that I have been granted a hearing, 74 days later they set the hearing. What happened to a speedy trial within 45 days? Not in Nazi Burbank... I contacted the Mayor Bob Kramer bkramer@mail.ci.burbank.ca.us who told me he would check it out, however it's been almost 2 months I don't think I'll be getting a response. Now this is a parking violation, where a temporary TOW AWAY sign was put up AFTER I parked the car, on a Friday on 4th of July weekend when half the city is out of town. It was just a parking ticket with the main objective to move my car. I did not break a law when I parked the car, there are no signs today since that day that don't permit parking on that street. Can you imagine if I commited a crime or was suspected of a crime? Police have gotten out of hand and the government offices back them up. "to serve and protect"? Any suggestions contact me at derkdiggler2@yahoo.com Thanks
To the above post writer: you are a moron, people take things said differently especially after the hideous thing Tim mcveigh did...you know exactly what you were implying and thats why you got the lecture..a lecture you shoud have or didnt listen to from your parents. I have no simpathy for a mean spirited person like yourself, I too have been angry with govt. employees but have never had the police called me. As far as dept's needing bulletproof glass, its hateful, anti-social, anti-law enforcement people like you that kill cops by walking in and shooting...Go to the california police officers memeorial website and read it..doubt you will have the guts. GOD BLESS POLICE OFFICERS.
I think that the Government or the "People" should organize a group that will police the police, all things are possible and I know that it can be done. Internal Affairs can't do it all.
they should of lost there job if dont hold the for the right thingto up hold law they should not be a cop.
It is up to the citizens to police the police. If there are no riots or protests then there will be no change. We can not expect society to listen to us on a website.
I was arrested recently for "Resisting Arrest" while having a blood sugar lever below 40. An ambulance was called and even after the paramedics explained to the officer why my behavior was the way it was, I was STILL arrested. I have yet to appear in court but will let you know what happens.
I am not saying this article is not true,there is always two sides to every story and you have only told one side............yours. lets here from the other side. lp
