here's your daily serving of the 'thin blue line' protecting you, in this case, from those having seizures;


Indianapolis, IN — In the American police state, treating your seizures with a plant deemed illegal by the state can and will get you arrested. But as the following case illustrates, simply having seizures is enough to get someone arrested and brutalized as well.
As TFTP often asserts, when your only tool is a hammer, everything around you, even medical emergencies, begins to look like a nail. The family of a victim who was brutalized by police for suffering a medical emergency last year is now speaking out to confirm that very assertion.
A family is outraged after watching the footage of their son and brother being savagely beaten by Indianapolis Metropolitan Police officers during a medical emergency.
The victim, Christopher Knox, who is an epileptic, suffered a seizure while shopping in a Speedway gas station in March of 2018. For those unfamiliar with epileptics, often times during and after seizures, they can become severely disoriented.
“Officers might react to a person’s dazed behavior, inability to obey directives, and combative response to restraint as actions that the person can control,” the website for the law enforcement accreditor CALEA reads. “In fact, when a person with epilepsy has a seizure, he or she is physically unable to control their actions.”
When IMPD Officer Maurice Norris confronted the severely disoriented Knox, Knox didn’t immediately respond to his commands, so force was escalated. According to police, Knox assaulted a cop and a customer inside the store. However, his family says he was likely just flailing around as a result of the seizure........https://thefreethoughtproject.com/police-mistake-mans-seizure-beat-him/
