I just wish the Police really acted like that. I've woken up after seizures to find I've been pepper sprayed and put in hand-cuffs all because of cops telling me to stop it. My younger brother got in trouble once when the police tried to stick a tree branch in my mouth to keep the airway open, and he got handcuffed and taken away for interfering.

Now the police just use Tasers, thinking that'll stop them. There's been a few stories in the media where the police showed up and tasered the guy only to find out later they've killed him! And yet they claim they were just doing their job as the victim was resisting.

@MatthewFordVictoria I'm going to go ahead and call bullshit on that. Police are trained in first aid, they can recognise them and they know what a seizure is. They see them alot too, due to drug addicts. So they would never tell someone having a seizure to ''stop'', or ''stick a branch in their mouth''.

This is something i dont wish on anyone, i have had partial seizures since 8th grade, and have had grand mal ones since 2001 including one while driving on a rural road @ 330am! So if you know someone that suffer these, listen to this video!

Thank you this is very helpful, my flatmate is epileptic and I have to frequently deal with her fits in the kitchen or corridor so this was very useful for me.

Sometimes I read these comments about police doing something like killing people and saying they were just doing their job. I really just want to punch them in the face and say F**k off
