Farhner, of Kingston, Missouri, was driving himself to the emergency room at the Kansas City VA Medical Center in May 2018 because of an infection from a hernia surgery he’d had there. A VA Police officer stopped him because he was going the wrong way in the parking lot. An argument ensued, and one or two officers took Farhner to the ground, according to a suit filed by his family. He was semi-conscious when he got to the emergency room and was transferred to the University of Kansas Hospital, where he died two days later at age 66. [More]How were they supposed to know a guy driving himself to emergency might be in agony and desperate, with no time or tolerance for being harassed and prevented from getting help, and with more urgent things than hospital parking lot rules on his mind?
But it's OK: The Queen will handle things from here.
On the bright side, he didn't suffer a seizure so they didn't have to take him out on the spot.
