What do you mean a nothing burger? It being related to Kamala directly? sure seems unrelated, but I’m definitely curious what was going on that other agents had to handcuff the agent.
as this was a medical matter we will say nothing further
First, that’s unsubstantiated rumor (by the press. I’d expect photos or something if true.)
But then,
Things that come to mind? Diabetic incident. (Iirc, hypoglycemia, might be hyperglycemia, I forget off hand) can cause extremely abnormal behavior changes.
I had a friend who had a bad/not-effective batch of insulin. Nicest man you ever met, kind gentle, empathetic. Pacifist.
His wife was on the phone and recognized the changes, called 911, got transferred to the relevant dispatch center and got EMS and cops out there for insulin.
The cops were surprisingly good sports about the black eyes and bloody nose he gave them.
It could also have been some kind of drug interaction. (Or illicit drugs. But I suspect they’ll say that if it were true.)
As for proximity to Harris, he was facilitating her leaving an airport. He probably never even saw her and was likely pulled on just to make sure a particular door stayed closed, or something.
Ineffective insulin would cause hyperglycemia, which can have fatal effects if it causes diabetic ketoacidosis, but being unaware and uncharacteristically violent is much more likely to be associated with extreme hypoglycemia, which is a result of an insulin overdose.
And since it’s an airport, nerve pills were my second thought. Seems pretty common for someone who is afraid of flying to take a little too much Xanax or whatever.
Being an angry drunk doesn’t excuse beating your family; they still have legal culpability for those actions, where hyper/hypoglycemia usually isn’t by choice; and therefore gets the “I didn’t know what I was doing” defense.
My friend was literally not able to make rational choices or control himself until they dosed him with insulin. Took 3 cops and 2 beefcake firefighters to subdue him. It’s hard and funny to imagine. Man I miss him.

Blood sugar was my first thought as well.

Alcoholism and drug addiction can also be described as medical matters.
Can be. Should be.
Usually isn’t in a law enforcement context.

Usually? Maybe not. In the Secret Service though…

That’s from 2015, but I doubt it’s improved much.
oh, absolutely. they’re all raging alcoholics.
I just get the feeling that’s not what happened here.
