  1. "Possible Seizure" is the 3rd highest in number of calls for ambulances. So, both EMTs AND the officers are taught to recognize the signs of a seizure, and that's on top of being told the 911 call was for someone having a seizure. He was still unconscious when they arrived, indicating he had a prolonged seizure, and it's very common for people coming out of a seizure, esp a prolonged one, to resist being kept still. For me and from several others I've met, the urge to jump up is very strong and feels like an instinctual, fight-or-flight response. Officers should know this, and EMTs are required to know it. I cannot believe that there were 7-10 people who interacted with him, but only one treated him like he was having the medical emergency he was indeed having: The Burger King employee.

  4.  @Dontbadummy  I really don't think he knew what was going on and he was obviously in a bit of shock after he was told what she said. Once he fully grasped the situation, he pushed her off of him. I don't think he deserves any negativity.

  5. Trump literally tells the public what he's doing and has done.

  6. He's like other Republicans. He flip flops and twists his answers to fit his narratives. He can't even let Roland finish asking a question.

  7.  @Dontbadummy  I think he was being very gentlemanly by first standing in front of her -- at that point, it wasn't a racial issue to him at all and I applaud him for it. Had the races all been reversed, I don't know that many white men would have had the character to do the same as he did. He was trying to protect someone he thought was innocent or in need. He should be applauded. As soon as he heard what she had done, he let out a big, "OH!" and he stepped aside. I don't believe he deserves any negativity.

  8. I wish Roland wouldn't raise his voice. People like this guy who could watch this and learn something won't even listen.

  10. ​ @JAHDUBProductions  Most inventions ARE improvements on items already in use. You're giving a false equivalent along the lines of "I don't know why it's such a big deal that someone invented the calculator because the abacus has been around for centuries"

  11. It definitely needs to be reigned in. How do you charge a man with all of those crimes and have a $500k bail set and then, drop all of the charges... and get away with it!!

  12. Cops and EMTs are both trained to recognize a seizure and if the officers didn't know, the EMTs would definitely know that erratic physical behavior and resisting being still is a very common occurrence when someone is coming out of a seizure, even more common after a prolonged seizure like this man had. It had to, at the very least, last 8-10 minutes if it initially started at the drive-thru window and he was still unresponsive when put in the ambulance. I heard one cop say afterwards, "I told you he was high (or intoxicated.". That means he had to have said it before he regained consciousness. That officer had predetermined that this man wasn't having a seizure even though the 911 call was literally for a seizure, He had not yet even heard this man speak a single word or take a single step before determining he had to be on drugs. Do you think he would have jumped to that conclusion of it had been a 40 year old white man? Would he have decided the 911 call for a seizure was wrong and this 40yo white man was high even though he was unconscious? They could have literally killed him. I still can't get over no officers nor EMT spoke up even about taking someone out of an ambulance who moments ago, it was determined he needed to be headed to the ER, and 4 minutes later after being tased several times, he suddenly didn't need to be seen in the ER but he needed to be arrested and taken to jail. Of course, they couldn't resist tasing one more time after they dragged to the squad car, fully handcuffed. I just don't buy that 4-5 grown men, could not get a man's wrists handcuffed without deploying FIVE taser. I think some of them are itching to use their tasers b/c they are rarely fired or even punished for using their tasers. Using their gun requires a lot more to answer to. The one who tased him was also the one who said, "I told you he was high.". I don't recall him even saying he had his taser out and on the man before he used it. the first time. I doubt any would, but he didn't give any of the other officers a chance to speak up against using it.

  15. I cannot believe that he was put in an ambulance and then removed to be put in a squad car. As someone who has had a seizure and fought with the nurses in the ICU, taking him out of the ambulance leaves me speechless. Neither of the paramedics even questioned why the officers were removing him and the paramedics knew that the call was someone having a seizure.

  16. I truly hope the county board of commissioners in Palm Beach, the same board who sued to keep Trump from living at Mar-a-Lago at the end of his term, uses the information James acquired to toss him out of Mar-a-Lago, making him stick to the original agreement that he would not spend more than 2 weeks per year staying there.

  17. Not just praying not to do it, they should NOT have done it

  18. The only people who truly are treated as innocent until proven guilty are officers relying on qualified immunity. Qualified immunity needs to either end or be drastically narrowed down. If it can't be abolished altogether, it should at least be reformed. Perhaps, just as a grand jury currently hears only the prosecution's evidence before deciding if there's enough evidence to at least bring charges followed by an actual trial, what if grand juries heard very limited evidence for and against granting an entirely separate trial to determine if qualified immunity should be extended to an individual instead of automatically granting it. The only people who truly are treated as innocent until proven guilty are officers relying on qualified immunity.

  19. Thank you for posting this. I see several comments from haters saying it's "just a dehumidifier". That is part of the concept used in his units, but they are so much more than that. It's really unbelievable that the only "solution" by our federal and Michigan state governments has been to hand out free bottled water for almost 20 years. Why some people feel the need to put down someone else's achievements is mind-boggling.

  20. ​ @amsmagicalgardeninsmall1009  And setting them up in areas that don't have clean water to drink. If what he's doing is "nothing", why is he the only one to do this?

  23.  @skineyemin4276  Don't you think it's advantageous for Clarence to be called out by everyone, regardless of their race? Personally, I think it may be even more beneficial for a white male to do so. It doesn't seem wise to try and alienate anyone who is actively anti-racist in any discussion where racism is the focus.

  24. ​​ @amsmagicalgardeninsmall1009  You cannot drink water from a home or building dehumidifier. Did you not bother to watch the video before jumping into the comment section to denounce what this man is doing? Do you know how long the people of Flint haven't been able to use the water out of their faucets and the most effective solution until this was giving out free cases of bottled water to every resident. It has to be well over a decade, and yet, you belittle what he's done/doing?

  25.  @rell127  I know. I just think people who NEED to hear what Roland is saying aren't likely to watch very long when he raises his voice. Research actually shows that people are more likely to listen to someone when they speak in a slightly lower volume than normal. I know it's effective on children! When my children were young (2-5yo), if they were speaking loudly (having a bit of a tantrum), all I had to do was literally start whispering and they'd stop and actually listen to me. Then, I used the technique at work for years as a flight attendant! I get heated when talking to Trumpers, too. So, I know exactly how Roland feels! It's hard to argue with stupidity and/or willful ignorance. Ugh

  29. ​​ @dreammatch2000  His "dehumidifier" filters the water to make it safe to drink and it seems it's self-containing once it's erected. Regular dehumidifiers don't do this.

  30. I LOVE that Tish James refuses to call him President Trump even though every former POTUS is properly referenced as President Obama, Carter, Clinton, Bush, etc. That is definitely under his skin. Lovin' it!

  31.  @kennethdenson8223  I agree. He seemed blindsided by it.

  32. I can't believe he was unresponsive and put in an ambulance and they actually took him out of the ambulance to put him in a squad car. Fighting and resisting are incredibly common when someone is coming out of a seizure. The EMTs would have been trained to know this. Officers should also know how to recognize seizures and behavior afterwards. The only one out of tbe 8-9 who interacted with him, who acted in a caring and professional way was the BK employee.

  34.  @catwoman2596  Almost 20 years ago, it was considered inappropriate and vile to use that word, but a significant number of white people continued using it. Jay-Z and his artist colleagues decided to include it their songs as a way to lessen the intensity of it -- to take the sting out of for black people when they heard it and for black people to take control of the work for themselves He and the other artists did this by using it in their songs AND it worked. Jay-Z has discussed this in several interviews. You should educate yourself.

  35. The most egregious part is they kept her in jail for 30 jails with 2 weeks in solitary confinement knowing she was having a mental episode. EVERYONE involved should be fired and prosecuted.

  36. Stacey has won 3 elections and she lost one election in 2018. Trump has lost one election (two, if we go by the popular vote), but MeAgain McCain won't see the hypocrisy. My daughter moved from Georgia to Illinois several months ago, but she didn't update her voter registration. She was able to go to her polling place today, update her Registration and vote. She was in and out in 20 minutes.

  37. He's so far down the NS rabbit hole that he'll never come out of it. I hope he reads the comments because I'd like to suggest that he research every point that he thinks is positive about Trump and everything negative about Biden but only use dot gov sites to look for actual data.

  38. And use it to set a half a million dollar bond!!

  39.  @nitarobinson9511  I know it's his tone, but when he's "talking" to someone he's trying to, in a sense, win over and others like him, shouting is not the right approach. I am passionate when I talk about politics, too, but I've realized that speaking in a normal, even less volume than normal, has a better effect. The people who really need to watch this video aren't likely to listen very long with the shouting. It's just my opinion.

  40. Don't forget GLOVES! If you feel like you need your own sheets and towels, you need to wear gloves to remove the linens (mind your bare arms!) and bring big trash bags to put them in -- don't just stuff them in the corner. Also, tell housekeeping you don't want to have your room tidied during your stay. However, I think there's much, much smaller chance that the housekeeper of your hotel room has it verses the people who took the same Uber and on flights/trains with the passengers around you and who had your seat before you. EDIT: I know they aren't biologically related, but I did not have chicken pox as a child and before a vaccine, As an adult (23yo), I caught chickenpox from a child on a flight and it almost killed me. I had lesions everywhere: INSIDE my mouth, throat, nose, ears, the outside of my genitals even in the inside rim of my eyes. The hospital sedated me for almost 3 weeks. It started out just as this doctor described-- like a flu. Fever, extreme fatigue, swollen glands, sore throat and a few days later, pox lesions. I'm including this because I was a flight attendant working this particular flight and the child had visible pox, but our captain refused to remove him because he's already flown one leg with our airline earlier in the day. I was the only one who had not had chicken pox, and the child was seated in the second row of coach. I switched to work in the very back galley and all of my colleagues were careful to wash their hands every time the brought or took away anything from the child and his irresponsible mother. I STILL caught the virus. The thing is that like other pox viruses, people are contagious for days before the first lesion appears. If you are super concerned with catching it and you can reasonably do so, I would not take any type of public transportation -- when going through airport security, you or your belongings, including your boarding pass and ID, are going to be touched by at least 5 people, and while they may be wearing gloves, they don't put on fresh gloves between each passenger. There are currently so few cases in the US that I feel comfortable traveling by air (for MonkeyPox) right now, but if we start seeing 50 times the current numbers, I would think twice.

  41. The arrest was bad but throwing her in solitary confinement for 2 weeks and 30 days in jail without bail for 7 bogus charges is beyond egregious. Why did this not make international news?
