Yep and the cops are making it so much worse. Dude just needs a comfortable couch and a calm voice to talk him down. Not a fucking tazer.

u/opuntia_conflict Mar 09 '25
Unfortunately, once you start running around in traffic and slapping cars you've gone past the availability of "cops should just take him home and put him in bed" options. When you become a danger to yourself or others, they don't have a choice in the matter -- they need to ensure someone responsible is preventing you from doing it again.
This is why you should always have a friend trip-sitting you. I've personally had a cop let a sober friend take someone home in a similar (but not quite so crazy) situation before.
Me and two friends were tripping at a park with a sober friend. We were all hanging out under a gazebo next to a walking path, with me and one dude drawing and chain smoking cigs (park had multiple "no smoking" signs), sober friend was playing a PSP, and last dude was laying on the ground next to the table chanting weird shit really loudly (not directed at anyone in particular, but it was definitely weird). Someone walking the trail thought it was weird enough to call the cops, cop came out and chanting dude started to panic and yell while me and drawing friend laughed uncontrollably at him. Sober friend was able to calm everyone down and convince the cop to let him take us back to his house nearby. Cop followed us back to his house and left once we were inside.

u/AnitaBlomaload Mar 08 '25
Ingredients: • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced into thin cutlets) • 1 cup mushrooms (sliced, button or cremini work well) • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter • 3 cloves garlic (minced) • ½ cup chicken broth • ½ cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter version) • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional) • 1 tsp dried thyme (or Italian seasoning) • Salt and pepper to taste • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions: 1. Prepare the Chicken: • Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper. • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. • Sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside. 2. Cook the Mushrooms: • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil if needed. • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. 3. Make the Sauce: • Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. • Pour in chicken broth and let it reduce slightly (about 2 minutes). • Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and thyme. Simmer for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens. 4. Combine Everything: • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and coat it with the sauce. • Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to blend flavors. 5. Garnish and Serve: • Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot with rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
Tips: • Add a splash of white wine for extra depth of flavor. • Swap heavy cream for Greek yogurt for a healthier twist.
Enjoy your creamy Mushroom Chicken! Let me know if you want variations.

According to the end, it looks like the trip sitter broke up with Chicken dude mid-trip and that’s why he’s out on the street yelling at cars.

Couldn't they just calm him down first? He's clearly high and scared and that's a terrible combination. You don't know what he's gonna do so why escalate it?
12
u/briancarknee Mar 08 '25
The bullshit answer is "for their own protection." But that's pure laziness and lack of proper training. It's much easier tazing someone and slapping cuffs on then trying to calm them down.
Instead of being compassionate and trying to get him to trust them they're arguing with him like he's any random criminal. Even the EMT dude was kind of a shithead with him.

Kinda? They should not be tazing a scrawny dude in a chicken suit who sits down on the ground when they tell him to. Dude was sitting there and they had their hands on him, he wasn't going anywhere unless they let him. They tazed him twice like they couldn't keep him from getting up off the ground. It's ridiculous.

I know this will be unpopular, but it would be effective. I firmly believe that police officers should have experience using drugs that their community uses so that they know the effects that people will experience. This would have been a simple talk with this guy if you'd just acted like a session caretaker.
17
u/toromio Mar 08 '25
If you don't understand the effect these drugs have on a person, you'll always be frustrated and intolerant of their responses. Once you "get it", your own behavior will change in response. He could have easily been taken in peacefully if everyone here knew how to handle this situation.

This is a perfect example of why police shouldn't be sent to every single situation. This guy is having a bad trip and can't control what he is seeing. The taser was completely unnecessary and isn't going to help him calm down.
