On TV news last night they showed a video of a police officer talking
to a man resting on a sofa in his own home. His wife had called
saying that he had a heart attack and should go to hospital. The man
refused to go
preferring to rest rather than go to hospital for treatment as he
could not afford it. The police officer then tazered him to make him
go to hospital! The chief of Police said that standard protocol had
been followed.
Only in America!!!!
I wonder if he is still married to the woman
or he cancelled his insurance policy?

AFTERMATH.
The judge dismissed charges against the police officer after being
shown police rules that recipients of a tazer gun MUST be taken to
hospital prior to internment.

I first read that as 'interment', and thought, "How inconvenient!".

The same judge dismissed divorce proceedings stating irreconcilable
differences had not been proven and the husband was to pay all court
costs.
The above part anticipates what is yet to happen.
