I’ve seen people drink what they are buying while waiting in line? I’d assume if I was potentially about to die from diabetes a store would allow me to drink it while I wait in line. Maybe he wasn’t thinking rationally
He’s black. We don’t get this same luxury. I’ve been stopped and talked to when trying this. My wife walked around that very same Fred Meyer drinking an entire Gatorade
So after it went to the supreme Court and then they remanded it back down to the trial court, what was the ultimate result? Was Connor convicted of violating his rights with excessive force?
The issue here was that Graham had to wait in a long line for something to treat his low blood sugar, so he opted to leave without buying anything instead of risking a dangerous low. This is why, as a diabetic during such an emergency, we drink/eat what we need to then pay for it when possible. So long as you pay for the product it can be explained why you consumed it first. However him leaving the store looked suspicious and prompted an investigation. The police did not 100% need to detain him, however if he was diabetic he should have had it listed on his driver's license, as well as a medical band/bag that could be used as proof. However neither are mentioned in the case study.
Everything you said is victim-blaming dude. He did have a diabetic card and the cops refused to let him shown them the card, telling him to stfu and slammed his head instead, while he was already handcuffed, the video doesn’t mentioned a lot of details. Saying he should have eat/drink before paying and this wouldn’t happen is also victim-blaming. It’s easy for you to say that because you’re not a black guy living in the 80’s. He’d probably get beat up worse or shot if he were to do that and the whole incident wouldn’t even be a case law because they would actually be able to claim he stole stuff so it was justified. I suggest you actually read into the case before sounding all high and mighty.
@@pnguyen3668 mate, it was an observation made as a black man with diabetes. i simply was stating my POV for what i would have done (as well as what many other diabetics would have done). not victim blaming, just saying it seemed more like a money grab from the lawsuit than suing for actual damages.
You obviously should’ve spent your time doing research because in the court documents and other detailed versions he had his medical information on him the police neglected to check for it even after he mentioned it multiple times
Left out the Supreme Court ruling?
so much more to this incident than briefly outlined. very poor.
No not very poor. The title is literally “a brief summary”.
Way to leave out a lot of facts to the case. This is not a fair and impartial description of what happened.
You’re right. What actually happened was far worse than this video laid out.
Agree, a lot of facts are missing from this case.

same question I had
He’s black. We don’t get this same luxury. I’ve been stopped and talked to when trying this. My wife walked around that very same Fred Meyer drinking an entire Gatorade
Again, he was black in the 80's. Things were not the same as they are now.
@@katehalasz5069 Things haven't changed much in 2024 either.

It set a precedent for use of “the three prong test” and police officers using objective reasonableness
It was settled out of court after being send back to the trial court.
That was so wrong and unnecessary, because it was too short a time to do anything.
damn thats so fucked up
Very biased video and description of events.
This is exactly what we learn as armed guards, sure little loose on the story, but facts are right

To be fair, this was also in the 1980s.
