Michelle Schreiner's blood sugar was dangerously low when a friend called 9-1-1 and Gresham police and paramedics arrived to find her holding a syringe full of insulin.
The officer ordered Schreiner -- who was dropping in and out of consciousness and was having trouble speaking or moving -- to drop the syringe. He shot Schreiner with a stun gun before handcuffing her and allowing paramedics to treat her.
Yeah, the first signs of diabetic-fucking-coma will get you shocked into coherence every time! There's more at the link.
One of these days, a relative of someone needing medical help is going to be there when said someone gets tased (or roughed up or handcuffed) before anyone helps them, and that relative will be armed, and will take matters into their own hands.
And I won't have any sympathy for the officer.
