I'm not saying he shouldn't be cited. However, being passed out when the police arrived, he was of no danger to anyone.
At that very point in time, sure. But it was clear he was dangerous before that, and would have continued to be dangerous again as soon as he woke up (unless he slept for several hours).
Not that it is your viewpoint, but Ph was saying he shouldn’t be “put in the system” because he was “sleeping”.
