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?

Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

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.

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. <— These filth

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.
