(US)For people who have conditions requiring regular medication (diabetes, organ transplant recipients, etc)… i have generally heard that prescriptions are confiscated, and they are frequently dead by the time the drugs are approved.

More or less, yep. Privatizing the legal slavery of targeted populations has worked wonders for the Justice™ system here in the US. 🤦🏾‍♂️

So many stories of people needing their medicine, and going into spams, but the cops just say it is all fake and purposely ignore the person.

  Cops are trained to always assume the person they are interacting with is lying to them, so it makes sense they would think complaints about medical needs are just a ploy of some kind. That is why they ignore people saying they can’t breathe, much less someone who tells them that they need medication or other medical attention.
  
  ACAB.

    And cops are trained to lie about everything.
