So unfair to you, sorry you had to experience that. Almost like what we had experienced. I can not believe you call 911 for someone having a seizure and state to them someone is having a seizure please send me help and officers come and first thing they ask of course is this person on drugs, no this person is having a seizure and then they start immediately retraining the person, which is totally wrong not only did he suffer abuse from the Authority he also was tase more than once which could have ended his life and I had to witness the whole thing which has changed my life for ever to see a person go thru that just because a medical condition which is out of there control. I am damaged for good after experiencing seeing that and hearing him scream from being tased and to this day, he is not the same. Some damage was done to him I’m still in stock and havent been able to sleep at night because of the nightmare and fear I have of this happening all over again and will he be so lucky to survive the abuse again….

I was tasered on July 7th, 2009 after suffering a gran mal seizure during a graduate school class. The police responded and chose to taser me minutes later after I failed to comply with their orders to go with the ambulance personell. It was my right to refuse medical attention. The officer in charge tasered me in spite of the fact that he knew I had a seizure and was not completely aware of my surroundings and was not being violent in any way. Afterwards the officer charged me with harassment in the 2nd degree. I now have to go to court for this matter, and he does not have any consequences at all!
