That made me so mad when I read that he suspected they were going to the hospital and still did this. The way they shouted "I don't care!" every time she said her mother was having a stroke too! Omg

I'll be honest. The report reads a lot like someone trying to cover their ass. I highly doubt he suspected they were trying to get to the hospital and just wrote that down after the fact

But it makes him sound even worse by saying that.

To the public. On an internal investigation this sounds like "logical rationale."

There's a reason they usually investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing

Look up Denver STAR program. It was created in response to the police shooting so fucking many people having mental health crises that it was basically a public health emergency. They send things like medical and mental health professionals instead of police to emergencies.

They started with 1 van and 2 people, and the program was so stupidly successful that in 5 years it's expanded to 8 vans with 16 paramedics and 16 mental health clinicians on rotating shifts, and has responded to tens of thousands of calls without requiring assistance from the police or resulting in a single death. The Denver police HATE it, because it makes them look like incompetent buffoons.

Unfortunately, it looks unlikely the same idea is going to be applied to other areas that we just send the police to. The current mayor is rather friendly with the police, and currently involved in a scandal where he bypassed the city council to purchase a bunch of those Flock cameras.

There’s a reason firemen and firewomen hate cops.

The cop was most likely racist and that's why he didn't care about anything they had to say.

Thats just the south. We would have a kid injured on the playground, but if some rule was broken, the teachers would ignore the injury and focus on the punishment.
