Oh how times change. Many are the stories of students, young men and,quite possibly, women who have fallen asleep on the bus or the train, usually after a heavy nights drinking admittedly, but sometimes from an accumulation of hard work and stress. In all the stories I have heard the person in question is politely woken by the conductor/driver and told that they have to get off now as they are at the terminus, whereupon the sleepy individuals stagger off into the night to look for another bus/ train/taxi to take them back to where they ought to be.
No longer so in these days of heightened awareness to potential terrorist attacks. A young man became unconscious on his way home from work and was found slumped in his seat clutching his backpack when the bus reached the terminus. The driver immediately assumed the man must be a suspicious character as he had a back pack and the police were called.
The police tried to rouse the man, who, unbeknownst to them was actually diabetic and had succumbed to a hypoglycaemic attack, didn't respond so they zapped him twice with a taser gun, slapped a pair of handcuffs on him and chucked him in the back of a police van.
When he came round, handcuffed, in the back of a moving van the poor man thought he had been kidnapped, until the police explained he had been arrested as a suspected terrorist.
I wonder if anyone can show me the training manual that says if a suspect is resisting arrest by lying slumped and practically comatose then you need to subdue him by use of taser? It's no wonder the countries jails are overflowing if people are being arrested for having a backpack and and being unresponsive, that takes in at least 70% of the 15-25 age group male population.
I suppose the chap should think himself lucky the officers weren't armed or else it could have been another case of Bang, Bang, You're Dead, Seven Bullets In your Head.
