What is going on? >> Let's go. Get out of the car. You're about to get tased, dude. >> Bro, I'm being get armed. >> Ow! >> Get out of the car. Stop fighting. >> So, what in the world did this guy do to get tased like this and cuffed at like this? Was it DUI, reckless driving, evading arrest, did he assault an officer? Nope, he had a seizure and he had a wreck. You're not going to believe this video. >> Hey, you're in an accident. You're all right, boss. Sir, can you speak? You're good, man. You're good. You're good. Just breathe. You're good. >> He's alert. >> I'm good. >> All right. Let's get you out of the car, man. Let's get you checked out. You're in a ditch right now, dude. Your car's in a ditch. >> I'm good. Let me go. >> You can't drive, dude. >> Why? >> Do you have any medical issues? >> No. >> Have you ever had a seizure? >> No. >> Do you have diabetes? >> No. >> Any drugs or alcohol today? >> No. >> No? >> Uh-uh. >> You're pretty sweaty, my buddy. >> Well, yeah. >> All right, let's get you out. We're going to walk up this hill. Dude, you're not You're not driving anywhere, bro. Your car is in a ditch. That's a police officer. We got to get you out. Stop trying to grab your seat belt, dude. We got to get you out. Listen to this guy. >> Listen to me, please stop. >> No. Come with me. We're going to go up the hill. If you keep pulling your seat belt, I'm going to rip your seat belt. So, listen to this firefighter. >> All right. >> Yeah, I'm good. Hey, bud. We got to get out of the car. >> Out of the car. 10-27 to be with EMS and getting him out of the car. He's being a little >> He's being a little combative. >> He's being a little combative. Did you hear that? If you've never seen somebody have a seizure, you may not understand this. I have a son who has epilepsy. This is what we call the postictal stage of a seizure. This kid had a seizure, ran off the road, crashed his car. He's not drunk, he's not on drugs, he didn't run from the police, he didn't commit any violation of the law. He had a seizure and he wrecked his car. The officers on the scene, instead of letting Med Com come in and handle this, which if I'm the cop here, I don't know that I've had this exact situation. I've certainly been on the scene of somebody having a seizure and I know that when they come out of the seizure, there's a period of time where their mind, their brain is rebooting. It's just like a computer. It's like you've restarted your computer and you're sitting here banging on the keyboard trying to make your computer do something that it's not ready to do yet. This kid is a computer rebooting and they poke him and they prod him and they cuss at him and they call him combative and then eventually they're going to taze him because he's not responding to their commands. Is he able to physically, mentally respond to their commands? No. He's post-ictal state in a seizure. You can't respond to normal commands during a post-ictal phase of a seizure and that's what this cop clearly has not been trained on. Watch this stupid video. It just pisses me off. >> Buddy. You're coming with me out. Like all this. Come on. Get out of the car, boss. You got to get out of the car. >> Okay. >> Get out. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Come on. Get out of the car. >> Why are you touching me? >> Because you're being told something and you need to do it. Get out of the car. >> So this is a tonic-clonic epileptic seizure and he had it while he was driving. Now, I don't know how long he's been diagnosed with epilepsy. Epilepsy patients have to have a certain clearance for their driver's license and they have to be on medication for a certain amount of time without having had a seizure in order to be able to drive. Unless they're night time seizures and then you don't have that. If all the seizures you've ever had have been while you're asleep, you don't have the clearance level needs on a driver's license that somebody that has a seizure during the day would have. If this kid has seizures during the day, then he's required to have had a doctor's note to have his license, make sure he's on medication for a certain amount of time, and he has to go so long without having a seizure in order to be able to drive. I don't know if he followed all those rules, so he may very well have committed an of driving against his restrictions, cuz I don't have that context. As a defense attorney, I had a vehicular homicide case one time where my client was not drugged, he wasn't drunk, he wasn't on alcohol, he wasn't on drugs. He had an epileptic seizure, there was a passenger in the front seat, testified as to what happened. He just locked up, he went into a seizure, his feet hit the gas, and he traveled several blocks at a very high rate of speed, and T-boned a taxi cab. Killed the taxi cab driver. I didn't think the state was going to charge him because he wasn't drunk, he wasn't on drugs, and it wasn't a conscious reckless act. They did charge him because he hadn't been taking his medication, allegedly, so they charged him with vehicular homicide by reckless act, by driving the car without having a clearance from a doctor, and without taking his medication. I don't think that's what we have here, but I don't know. I don't know whether this is his first seizure ever. I doubt it very seriously. I think this is probably normal for this kid, and it's not normal for the cops, obviously, cuz they don't know how to handle it. Let's go. Wake up. Hey. >> Hey. >> Let's get out. Come on, man. There's only one way out of here, and that's walking, okay? Cuz we're not driving out. That's not happening. Let's go, dude. Listen to these firefighters, or I'm going to have to yank you out. Come on. Listen to this officer. Wake up. >> He's so strong. >> He's fighting >> He's so strong. Let's go. >> Come on. >> Let's hop out. >> No, what are you doing? >> We're getting out of the car. Let's go. >> What are you doing? >> We're getting out. >> So he keeps saying, "What are you doing? What are you doing?" So the reason for that is this kid's just waking up. He doesn't remember that he was driving. He doesn't remember that he had a seizure. He doesn't remember that he had a wreck. Probably doesn't remember what he had for breakfast that morning. He doesn't remember the day. He's waking up and all of these people are pushing and prodding and poking on him and he's like, "What are you doing? What are you doing?" I remember vividly one of the first times I saw my son have a seizure before we knew that he had epilepsy, before I knew what was going on. He was in the postictal stage of a seizure. It was Christmas morning when it happened. I felt so bad. He would throw up and I thought he had the flu and so I go up there and I pick him up, I put him in the shower cuz I didn't realize he had just had a seizure. That's why he was going through this type of behavior like this kid was. Except for on top of the behavior like this, he was also throwing up. So, once I got him cleaned up, put him in his room, I said, "You can't come out for Christmas cuz you we don't want to spread this stomach virus that you clearly have." It wasn't a stomach virus. It was a postictal stage of a seizure. I felt terrible cuz he missed the whole Christmas. He never forgot it. But that was my first experience with seizures, but now I understand what they look like and what's really going on in the mind of somebody that had one. And these cops just haven't been trained on that. They should be letting Med-Com come in and letting the EMS workers get this guy out of the car. The cops don't need to be getting this guy out of the car. They should have had him in a neck brace for crying out loud. And they're yanking him and pulling him and kicking him out of the car. Good grief. >> Where are you going? >> Let's go. What are you doing? >> Get out of the car, dude. >> Come on. Come on. Let's go. >> Resisting, bro. >> Oh god. >> Let's get out of the car. >> You're going to get tased. >> to get tased, dude. >> We want to help you, but do not fight us. >> All right. >> You will get ripped out of this car. >> Yes, sir. >> We're not playing games. So, get the [ __ ] up. >> Yes, sir. >> Get out. You're about to get tased, dude. >> I'm going to get out. >> Get out then. >> You're stupid [ __ ] Let me get out. >> Let's go. Get out of the car. You're about to get tased, dude. >> Bro, I'm going to get out. Ow. >> Get out of the car. Stop fighting. Do not kick. >> No. >> Stop. Stop. >> You're making him bite. >> Taser deployed. Still fighting. Come on. No, no, no more. No more. No more. Let's just try and get him out. Here, get his other hand. Stop, dude. Stop fighting. Yeah, help him. Dude, put your hands behind your back, please. Hold on. Hold on. Okay. All right. Here's his other arm. Dude, stop. You're resisting. Got it? >> You tased him right out of that damn car. I just don't understand why. Why did he feel the need to go to the taser for this kid that was clearly having a seizure? I mean, did he not know the kid was having a seizure? I I just don't I don't get it. Comment below. Tell me what you think. >> He wasn't talking to me the whole time. He was just breathing. He would kept moving his head like back and forth. When fire went down there, he answered their questions, but he was like almost like a state of shock. He was like, "Where am I?" He tried putting the car in drive. I'm like, "Dude, you're in a [ __ ] ditch." And that's when he started like "Get the [ __ ] off me." Like pushing off. That's when he pushed him off and I was like, "Hey, dude, just back up." Like, "Holstein, grab him." But He's kind of like in and out. >> Yeah. He wasn't combative at first, but as soon as I was like, "Hey, dude, we're getting you out of the car." And Holstein, grab him. Immediately started throwing hands. >> I'm going to grab that left hand and I'm going to hold his right. >> Let's grab his right. >> Yeah. >> Dude, there's nothing. There's no pipes. There's no little baggies. >> He's high on something. >> He's high as [ __ ] on something. I just don't know what it is. Unless he tossed something back here. Cuz the only thing he has in the front is like Snizzys. But I ain't never seen anybody react like that off weed. >> You know they're just standing around trying to figure out whether they should charge him with something or what to do next. Thankfully they got this kid to the hospital where he got the medical treatment he needed and nobody was arrested. Nobody died during the making of this video and no dogs were shot. The driver of this car was a kid named Jack Bruce. After the release of this video he filed a federal lawsuit against the police department for what? Excessive force. He filed it against the city of Hercules and the police officers individually. I think he's arguing that they should lose qualified immunity. That'll be a good argument here that I would pay money to watch in in court to determine whether or not the cops actually lose qualified immunity. They're going to have to articulate to the judge why they had reasonable articulable suspicion of a criminal offense and why they used the force that they used. Cuz he wasn't given any force against them, remember? He wasn't fighting them. He wasn't resisting arrest. He was coming out of a seizure for crying out loud. So, accountability.
