10. Lol, For someone not sure of some things you have certainly formed some
negative opinions.

Police have to meet state standards to be certified. My state, like most, requires CPR training. We have it annually.

I have encountered the violent diabetic. Its hard to determine if someone has a medical problem when they are being resistive and combative.

Yes, in some cases it can be determined rather quickly if someone is having sugar issues. Diabetics are not uncommon. In most cases we call and ambulance and they take care of the person.

So, before you call Cops "stupid and ill-trained" maybe you should do a little research.

"I am not even sure that law enforcement types can even do CPR actually and so suggesting diabetic training seems a distance second to suggesting that these people put away their kill toys and focus on other aspects of protecting the public."

Lol, nice opinion based on a lack of knowledge.

If the person you talked to had punched or attacked you I am sure your compassion would have been enough to determine he was diabetic and the power of your compassion alone would have stopped the man's assault!
