If that guy didn't want to be tasered, he shouldn't have been diabetic.

Diabetic - that sounds like Terrorist

Cops should be schooled on 'this sorta thing'? No. cops should just do drive by tasering - and then we should build all nursuries inside the prisons...that'll teach them no good citizens. wtf...

What? Journalists RESEARCH things before opening their mouths? Better just to spout your personal opinion and be done with it! Who needs to know FACTS! /sarcasm

Most morning show hosts are not journalists in any sense of the word, combined with the fact that it's Fox. But they certainly didn't openly side with the police. That was a reasonable and moderate reaction by someone who's accustomed to siding with the police every time.

Now, as I understand it, diabetes is a disease that can be managed. Anyone who might go into diabetic shock should be prepared and prevent that from happening. Of course my knowledge on the subject is not extensive, so perhaps there are circumstances where it can happen without warning, but none that I've heard of. As far as medical ID bracelets, this site has a list of conditions that STARTS with diabetes. So that might have helped.

In my opinion, both parties were at fault here.

still waiting for a video of a tazer actually doing something useful.

still waiting.

I know this is old but I figure to comment anyways.

I understand where people come from in their blaming of the authorites in this vid, but let's understand.

I know diabetics because I work around them. I know one who broke the wrist of a female friend, when all she did was try and help him (He was banging his head against a hard object) but that's apparently okay, since it was diabeties. So no actual wrists were hurt I guess.

They appear drunk 100%. Slurred speech, aggressive, unresponsive... Period. And leave an already "drunk" man in a car? Hell, the lawsuit when he takes off, or the officer who is run over, would be damning far more than the diabetic getting tazed. Or force his limbs this way and perhaps break an arm or leg in order to cuff him? Probably not good either.

What is important is what happened after these cops figured out the man appearing drunk was in fact not. And that was 100% legit. Now, if they would have stompped on him or left him in the road, or arrested him, that's different.

And as far as the speaker in the video, public defenders = 100% biased. So that' not surprising.
