Disturbing LEO encounter...

[The_Outlaw]

Luckily this Citizen survived the 3 factors that he had no control over whatsoever.
1) The unnecessary threatened use of DEADLY FORCE by what appears to be a cop who may have consumed too much coffee & steroids before his shift started.
2) The excessive beatdown the poor citizen took by more cops. and
3) The potentially deadly diabetic shock episode.
Then afterwards, when they finally realize that he's a diabetic and may be in diabetic shock, they still make him stand up and take a breathalyzer test while still keeping him handcuffed!? WTF??
Keystone Cops comes to mind.

Although I live in Henderson, I don't recall this making much news. Still, I wish this guy had gotten more money, even if it is my tax dollars.
There is a reason people in Henderson like myself, who are from some truly rough parts of the country, call henderson cops "hollywood henderson" cops. Many people on this site gripe about vegas metro cops, but Henderson pd has a worse rep with locals

Amazing. I know a LEO's job is often dangerous but this is ridiculous. No threats, no weapon in sight.....what was the worse case scenario....that he was really drunk??? OK, so you treat him like an extreme drunk and help him from the car (he obviously wasn't putting up a fight), pat him down, and then go from there.

The irony is that the cops probably had too much sugar in their blood.

If a citizen made this kind of "mistake", would it go away for $292K? Why no repercussions for the LEOs? Sickening how fast you can go from one of "us" to one of "them" in an LEOs eyes.

Many years ago (1990-ish?) a co-worker of mine named Bill had a similar experience. He had attended a Metallica concert and was outside with a group of people hanging out at the rear of the venue. The band had been nice enough to sign autographs for this small group and they (the fans) were getting ready to head home. Apparently they weren't moving fast enough and several mounted officers came over and decided to do a little "crowd control". Bill suffered from equinophobia (fear of horses) and when he was trapped in between one of the horses and some cars he panicked and ran. Apparently he brushed up against one of the horses as he ran by and the officer interpreted this as an "attack". 2 of the mounted officers proceeded to run Bill down from behind, knocking him down with a blow to the back of the head. He was now on the ground and paralyzed with fear at the sight of these 2 huge animals standing over him. When he wouldn't respond to the officers quickly enough to suit them, they beat him into submission. The officers said he was armed. His weapon??? An autographed drum stick that was in his back pocket the entire time. When I saw him at work a couple of days later he looked like he had just gone 12 rounds with Mike Tyson. Not surprisingly all charges against him were dropped. He settled for $25k.

I'm a Henderson resident. Last year I was driving my father's car to get new tires and an oil change. I was pulled over by Henderson PD, the officer said he ran my plates and the DMV said my insurance was not updated/canceled (at the time the local media was running stories about problems at the DMV because a computer upgrade was canceling vehicle registrations for no proof of insurance; even though insurance was up-to-date). The officer explained why he pulled me over and said to wait because he was checking with the DMV data base; he did not even ask for my drivers license, vehicle registration, and Insurance card. I waited about 5 minutes and another HPD arrived, guns pointed at my car. At this point no one had asked for my drivers license, vehicle registration, and insurance card. I tried to inform him I have a CCW permit but was not armed but he cut me off so fast; he just said I was in big trouble for driving around with no insurance and canceled vehicle registration. Now two more HPD SUVs show up and finally the LEO approaches my car and asked for my license and vehicle registration. I give him what he asked for plus my CCW permit and explain I have no firearms on me or in the vehicle and that it's my father car (my father has no CCW and does not own any guns or have a criminal record). He takes my information and I end up sitting in the car for about 40 minutes while they run my info. He finally comes back to give me a $1200 fine and I have to show up to court. He says I should have never canceled my insurance just to save a few bucks and now I have a big fine to pay and I should consider myself lucky since he didn't tow away my car.

My father later tells me he was pulled over by Las Vegas PD a few days earlier and was told to go to the DMV to get if fixed and the entire stop took less than 10 minutes and didn't even get a ticket.

I show up to court several weeks later and the city atty. dismisses my case after reading the letter from the DMV and the proof that the insurance was never canceled.

Henderson was "voted the safest city in America" recently. With Gestapo cops like that I feel safe.

Where I was working and was primary Ems responder for the town, we were required to respond to all suspected DUI calls because of the fact that a diabetic emergency can mimic a drunk.
If he is found to be in a diabetic emergency then he is no longer under arrest, and becomes my patient. That was handled very poorly!!

[Deserteagle]

This was also handled very poorly by the driver. Instead of calling 911 while having a diabetic shock, this genius decides to "drive erratically" and "weave through lanes" at 4 in the morning. This guy could have easily killed somebody, especially if he had passed out and crashed into somebody. Just like the people that fall asleep behind the wheel instead of pull over, its pure negligence like this that can get innocent people killed.

Its unfortunate that the guy got beat up, but at least the cops stopped him before he crashed into somebody.

My conclusion: The driver is an idiot. The cops who beat him up are idiots.

Surely you CAN'T be serious!
And no, I'm not calling you 'Shirley'. LOL :)
Seriously though, When someone goes into a severe enough diabetic shock, they are 'unable' to call 911 or anybody else for that matter.
