Idiocracy wasn't a movie. It was a prediction.
Being a cop you assume the risk of a certain amount of injury with the job. I cannot imagine this going far.
Could be a pre-emptive lawsuit for when they sue him cause you know it is going to happen.
The silly lawsuit aside, why on earth do people ingest or smoke bath salts? At what point does that sound like a good idea??
I don't know if that is a wise decision. Could end up hurting credibility.

I think you wisely phrased it as "a certain amount" of injury. I think it's possible, depending on the circumstances like how the 911 call was phoned in, for example, that the family placed these officers in a dangerous position in a way that might warrant civil damages. Not simply by asking them to do their job, but by not adequately indicating what type of backup might be required, misleading them as to the seriousness of the situation, etc.Being a cop you assume the risk of a certain amount of injury with the job.

Woman calls cops because son was acting erratically. Cops get there, shoot and kill the son and now the cop is suing the woman for mental anguish... as if he didn't know the duties of his job or something.
Two deputies, including Pullen, who were called to help struggled with Yazar and used a Taser on him, officials said then. Both deputies fired shots at him, killing him. Pullen was injured and taken to a hospital for treatment of a concussion, cuts and a bite.
(snip)
Corina Padilla, Figueroa's cousin, offered a different version of events.
She said that Yazar, 46, was suffering from stress and depression and had drunk some tea that caused him to have hallucinations.
"At no moment did Kemal assault the officer," she said. "An unarmed man, a family guy, father and husband of three girls was killed. He had no criminal record. He was self-employed in import-export of very expensive rugs from Turkey and Persia."
Padilla called the lawsuit "outrageous," saying that Pullen "could have prevented it from happening, but he murdered our family member. Not only that, but he has the audacity to sue for money because he got injured when he was responding to the call."

"Bath salts" (known alternately as "plant food" or "meow meow") are sold in powder form that can be eaten, snorted, smoked, or injected. The street names don't describe one specific drug, but rather could refer to either mephedrone (a synthetic stimulant) or methylenedioxypyrovalerone (known as MDPV, a stimulant and psychoactive drug). Each of these purports to produce effects similar to the euphoria of MDMA (Ecstasy) and the alertness of cocaine or amphetamines. They are not hallucinogens.

It's possible this is a completely ridiculous case. But I wouldn't dismiss it summarily just yet.

Scotch never makes me feel out of control, the exact opposite actually.I've no idea why people want to destroy their liver and kidneys in order for them to temporarily feel out of control. Makes no damn sense to me.

Just pointing out that humanity loves a good drug even if it kills us. We love to get out of ourselves for a time, even if the cost is potential death.I think there's a huge difference between a (most) "schedule I" drugs and a glass of scotch though.

Did you read the article? It gives me the impression you are correct about this.

I've always said that it wasn't a movie, it was a republican documentary. Being that there are only three or four companies that exist and the people in the white house staff are making money by mentioning a corporation. lol
Republican? You elected a comedian, Marion Berry, and Anthony Weiner.
