Cops should know enough about recognizing symptoms of respiratory distress from dealing with so many opiate junkies. Don’t a lot of them carry Narcan?
Yeah that's what I've been saying.

I am sure there were mitigating circumstances if that happened. Any examples?
Cops are highly trained but they are not EMTs.
Knee on neck had only the effect to immobalize a violent criminal.

A 46-year-old man is in a medically induced coma after he was apparently shot by Philadelphia police for driving into them during a seizure episode on Tuesday. Rudolph “Blue” Keitt Jr. was driving with a friend when he had a seizure and crashed his car into a wall. The friend alerted police, who tried to revive him, but Keitt struggled with them after waking up. He then drove off and hit some officers before suffering another little crash, after which he came “barreling” toward the first crash site. Police then shot him in the chest. Witnesses say he drove home and parallel parked before collapsing outside the car. Keitt, a father of eight, had a history of heart problems, and suffered an additional heart attack after surgery. His condition is described as critical, but stable.
That particular article sounds a bit one sided.
doesnt change the facts,,,unless you have a problem with something specific,,,
I do. The source of that article and the brevity of it. To many open ends to make a clear decision about it.

If you notice in the article the LEO was not charged. How was he supposed to know the man was having a seizure? All he knew was that a car was being used as a potential weapon against him.

try googleing "cops shoot man having a seizure"
cops are starting to sound like a bunch of blood thirsty cowards since they fear for their life so much and their only solution is to kill someone,,,
and I'm pro cop,,,
This one has a video (according to the article) of the gun drawing something out his pocket and getting into a shooting stance. LEO have a right to defend themselves if they think they are in danger. Why call the police about this? Why did the family not call an ambulance or a medical facility?
as always calling the cops was a mistake,,,
I do not agree with that. Society has made it much harder to be LEO. Too many nuts out there. And they do kill cops.
the problem is to many laws controlling peoples lives,,,that and using ex military as police officers,,,
There is nothing wrong with ex military. At all.
