DRIVER'S BEHAVIOR EXAMINED.
Driver was in hospital awaiting an operation.
“Davin was given ketamine even though the hospital knew of his issues in the past and should have kept a very close eye on Davin while he was awaiting surgery to make sure he didn’t go anywhere.”

The Toronto officer was facing the suspect in a different environment than the Mountie but I get your point.
As one officer observed, had deadly force not been used n the suspect killed the would have been charged with neglect.
I foresee a pending lawsuit against the hospital.
Let's not forget the officer who had to make the quick decision to use force to intercede.
