you're right, I am reading more into the article than is actually there.

I found an article that gives a few more details:

In May 2006, a passer-by reported an unconscious man, Mr. Campbell, sprawled outside a downtown Dallas building. Mr. Campbell tried to fight paramedics and kicked the police officer who arrested him for public intoxication, prosecutors said.

The police reported that Mr. Campbell spat at an officer and said he had H.I.V., the virus that causes AIDS, as they struggled to move him to a squad car.

there arent enough details to really be able to tell what happened, but the whole thing just does not add up.
