Last year Allen Daniel Hicks violently drove his car off the road in Tampa, Florida. When officers showed up on the scene, Hicks did not follow their orders to get out of his car. This resulted in police immediately booking the man into jail. Officers failed, however, to question Hick’s strange behavior during the incident. Despite rambling incoherent nonsense and dragging his left leg, police did not even bother ordering a medical check for Hicks before locking him up. Well, it turns out that Hicks was having a severe ischemic stroke. After a full day in jail, Hicks lay on the floor of his cell, unable to move. Only then did officers take him to Tampa General Hospital, where doctors quickly diagnosed the stroke. Within hours, the man went into a coma. He died in the hospital just a few months later. There is now a government investigation underway. The attorney representing Hick’s family, Paul Rebein, said, “You should be able to get help from medical personnel and police officers and not be taken to jail, and we feel the highway patrol and EMT should have much better training on recognizing stroke victims.” The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) agrees. Spokesman David Fathi said, “Prison officials have a duty under the Constitution to provide prisoners with adequate medical care. When they violate that duty, the results can be tragic.” “We believe that incarceration is a uniquely governmental function that should never be contracted out to private, for-profit corporations. When you combine the profit motive with limited oversight and an unpopular, politically powerless group like prisoners, it’s a recipe for bad outcomes,” he continued. Bottom line: this incident demonstrates a disgusting abuse of police power. These officers must be held accountable for their actions.

When the job requirements rule out anyone with an above average I.Q. dumb Cops with badges and guns becomes the rule. Throw in epidemic levels of Police Corruption and a culture of "Police Omerta" and it becomes even more psychotic. So, with less than bright cops, who are corrupt, are pathetic cowards who obsess to psychosis about their worthless hide, and refuse to police their own ranks it is a recipe for disaster. Now throw military grade weapons into their hands and you have a bunch of badge happy morons with PTSD running the show. Citizen encounters with cops may be hazardous to your health.....in every way imaginable.

I expect that the meter on that lawsuit starts running at $ 1 Million. Considering the police pepper-spraying unarmed protesters at the Occupy Wall Street thing last year, juries are not going to have much sympathy for police insensitivity.

Strokes are easy to diagnose. How the EMTs missed it is beyond me.

I would have to agree with that.
A study group recently released its findings as to the best presidents of the United States of America. Obama has been rated as the 4th best president ever: Reagan and 9 others tied for first, 15 presidents tied for second, 18 tied for third, and Obama came in fourth.

I don't think they were called. Strokes are easy to diagnose. How the EMTs missed it is beyond me.

And never ever doubt that. Never ever forget that. You see one at a traffic stop you keep one eye on him... lest the fucker sneeze wrong and accidentally shot a random passer by. Citizen encounters with cops may be hazardous to your health.....in every way imaginable.

Terrorists aren't afforded any such rights. We're all terrorists now. The attorney representing Hick’s family, Paul Rebein, said, “You should be able to get help from medical personnel and police officers and not be taken to jail, and we feel the highway patrol and EMT should have much better training on recognizing stroke victims.”
