He went to the East Village Asian Diner in the upper class beachtown of Encinitas, (so sweet of a place, the famous live there, Joe Walsh, Tony Hawk, Richard Dreyfuss, Shaun White) to get something to eat to raise his blood sugar, but while there, as his blood sugar continued to crash, he became disoriented and appeared to nod off while at the counter.
A restaurant worker called 911 and soon five deputies confronted Carr.
Carr was able to tell the deputies his name, but his answers to other questions made no sense. Deputies believed he was under the influence of drugs.

When he was unable to comply with their orders to leave the restaurant, they grabbed him off the seat and manhandled him, eventually pinning him against the food counter. Body-worn camera footage captured Carr calmly saying, “Please don’t. Please don’t. Please don’t,” according to a court filing.
He was then tased in the back and flung to the ground in a headlock where the deputies piled on top of him. He was tased twice more — the third time for five seconds until the device automatically shut off — before being handcuffed and carried outside, court records recounted.

Paramedics arrived, and Deputy Jason Ferguson told them Carr “says he’s diabetic” and pointed to the insulin pump.
A paramedic took a finger-prick blood test which showed his blood-sugar level to be extremely low, leading one paramedic to be heard on the body camera remarking it was the lowest he had ever seen for someone who was breathing. They quickly gave him oral glucose to raise the level and took him to the hospital.
Deputies later charged him with trespassing and resisting arrest, but prosecutors declined to file a case.
Tell me again, what makes the USA such an amazing country that people from other countries want to suffer to get here, to escape the corrupt police in the countries they are fleeing from? Really?

In the suit, county lawyers argued the deputies were justified in arresting Carr for trespass — the restaurant manager said he wanted him removed — and for resisting.
U.S. District Judge Janis Sammartino said the police could be sued for both the excessive force and false arrest claims.
