to his very obvious injuries.
he was arrested on suspicion of being on drugs/intoxicated, but he was acting erratic because of his head injury and wanting to get back home to his daughter.
so for 24 hours he went without any care for his, now life threatening, head injury. i don’t think anyone can say whether he will make it or not and i think that a big reason for that is the delay in treatment.
how did this happen?!
how is this justified??
is someone, namely the arresting officers, going to be held accountable if he does not make it???
he wasn’t on drugs.
he had a head injury.
the police misinterpreted his behavior as being intoxicated when, in fact, it was due to the severe head trauma he encountered.
he was not making sense with his words and stumbling around.
BUT he had visible injuries on his head and blood.
no matter what his suspected crime isn’t he expected to receive medical care in a situation where it is obviously needed??!
of course, bloody, did you not read where i wrote bloody? he was BEATEN bad enough to need surgery and is not in the neurology dept. ICU in critical condition.
no offense, sandy, i appreciate your story where the cops did the RIGHT thing and all, but i posted in here for a professional opinion on whether the cops WILL be able be held responsible.
is there anything i can do?
i meant he IS in the neurology dept. ICU right now.
“recovering” from surgery and head injuries.
not conscious.
i think it would have been pretty obvious he had been roughed up enough to warrant an examination, at least.
i’m not trying to get comments, just answers.
anyways, he looks like a freaking train hit him. but i guess thats completely normal for someone intoxicated.
and his baby’s mom called for him to be jumped by two huge dudes, he didn’t “get in a fight” nor was he having anything to do with drugs.
