Something we continue to find charming about old-school print media: They don't like to talk about drugs, or speculate about such matters, using terms like "acting strangely" to describe perps who are clearly high as kites. Case in point: The Contra Costa Times reports on a 28-year-old man who was seen chasing a train near the Martinez Marina yesterday morning, assaulted a city worker, then locked himself in said worker's car nearby, got approached by an officer, Tasered, and still managed to break free and run, only to collapse from an apparent cardiac arrest, and the officers proceeded to resuscitate him. The headline and text, naturally, make no mention of the notion that the man might have been high on something, just that he was "acting strangely." He had first been seen walking away from Contra Costa Regional Medical Center.

Also, amusingly, "It was unclear whether the man had been a patient at the hospital." The man's name hasn't been released, and he's now in an undisclosed hospital, which we'd have to guess is the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center.
