🚨 POLICE SERGEANT FIRED AFTER DEPLOYING TASER SEVEN TIMES ON MAN EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY A man was outside his OWN HOME putting up Halloween decorations when he suffered a seizure, collapsed in his yard, and needed emergency medical assistance. What happened afterward has now resulted in a police sergeant losing his job. On October 25, Dwight Jackson was decorating for Halloween in Chattahoochee, Florida, when he suddenly collapsed. His brother, Caleb Johns, called for help. According to Johns, Jackson had been experiencing a seizure for approximately TEN MINUTES before EMS arrived. Paramedics were already treating him when Sgt. Price of the Chattahoochee Police Department arrived. According to Jackson’s brother, EMS personnel had been rendering aid for approximately 45 minutes when the officer intervened. Johns described the officer pushing people aside and jumping on Jackson as he was beginning to regain awareness. THE OFFICER DEPLOYED HIS TASER SEVEN TIMES. Police Chief Michael Miller claims EMS requested assistance because they were having difficulty restraining a combative individual. He also claims Jackson physically resisted the officer and pulled on his body armor. Jackson says he wasn’t intentionally combative. He was suffering a medical emergency. And anyone familiar with seizures should understand that involuntary movements and post-seizure confusion can occur. Jackson later described the experience as “more terrifying than war” because he was defenseless and had no idea what was coming. But there are additional developments that I have discovered… According to reporting on the police chief’s findings: ▪️ The officer reportedly FAILED TO RECORD the initial encounter and use of force on his body camera. ▪️ A supervisory review of available footage identified ANOTHER use-of-force incident while Jackson was being transferred into the police department. ▪️ Jackson reportedly suffered ANOTHER SEIZURE while at the police station, requiring EMS to be called again and resulting in his transportation to a hospital. ▪️ A separate recording captured Sgt. Price in a verbal confrontation with an EMS employee. ▪️ Jackson says he was never formally booked into jail and was eventually released. On October 28, Police Chief Michael Miller announced that Sgt. Price had been TERMINATED following the department’s review. Jackson is now considering legal action.
