My question involves civil rights in the State of: I found my 36 year old son unresponsive due to alcohol and possible prescription medication. After several tries I contacted 911 emergency services. EMS arrived and tried to get him to respond several times. Once he came around he was definitely impaired and was having trouble talking to the EMT’s. He knew what day it was and was able to answer questions. He refused medical treatment and was in his own home. When County PD arrived, things changed. He did become combative (verbally) with them due to the manner in which they were treating him. He did stand up and say to them, “take me to jail” I stepped in and tried to calm him down for which I was pulled out of the way and he was tased twice. He was arrested and charged with three felonies, two obstruction of a police officer and one obstruction of an EMT. When he was responding and still lying in his bed they should have stopped and left. The abusive tone in which one firefighter used and one PD officer was shocking to me, since I am a certified officer myself. Please guide me on how to proceed with this. I am at a loss and concerned to say anything to my department. The state in which this took place is Georgia.
