Diabetic ‘bashed by cops’ after falling ill

A MAN in the middle of a diabetic episode was beaten by police who thought he was trying to resist arrest after a short car chase, according to a lawsuit filed today.
It is alleged that 59-year-old Ernest Griglen was beaten so badly during the June 15 incident he needed surgery to remove part of his brain, US television network WDIV reported.
According to the lawsuit filed by his wife Pamela and lawyer Arnold Reed, Mr Griglen was driving along a freeway near the US city of Detroit when he experienced a diabetic hypoglycaemic episode.

They said the episode forced Mr Griglen to swerve between lanes before he was pulled over by police who thought he was drunk.
“They began to hit him, punch him and throw him to the ground,” Mr Reed said.
WDIV said two different reports of the incident was filed by police.
One report said Griglen was pursued along the freeway by police because of a domestic violence complaint.
The other report said he became “combative” and was forced to the ground by officers.

Too bad to see that Aussie cops are no better than many here in the USA. I guess the job attracts the same quality of individual no matter where it may be.

Dumb ass cops! They aren’t the problem though…We need to stand up and get our freedoms back. Then, a cop wouldn’t have the authority to do the things they are doing…

That poor man. Intelligent situational assessment obviously missing here. Act now, think later. Pffft. This type of thing does a grave disservice to the many dedicated law enforcement personel who actually do work with their brain and hearts both plugged in.

I would be so upset if Americans started kidnapping these Nazi storm-troopers, got a camera rolling, and raped every hole on their weak bodies and sent the vid to their families to show them what happens to Anti-American punks who feed on the very hand that feeds them.

Aging folk who are obviously over 50 should never be considered collateral damage. Erratic driving in this age group always denotes a possible immediate health crisis, along with other possibilities. Police ARE besieged, and put in constant danger, but this type of situation is tragic, and very preventable.

I say we take names, badge numbers, and personal information and keep them for later use.

The usual will follow – the perps will go unpunished and the sheeple will pay the victim.

cops are not allowed to strike you unless their life is in danger, someone having a seisure or diabetic episode is not a threat, unless you fear inept people rolling around on the ground, i think they have self help groups for that. i understand that cops do a job nobody else wants and they enforce laws nobody voted in, but assault is assault, no matter if its handed out by a cop or a felon. people cannot respect you if this is behaviour goes unchecked.

if peeps witnessing these things would all gang up and beat the shit outta the po lice this shit would stop!

Bullies with Badges need to be stopped. Victims of police abuse have no redress in this rigged system. There is a double standard created by out of control police agencies who conveniently “fear for their lives”, usually while 3-4 of them gang up on a handcuffed prisoner. That’s their style, yet they cannot figure out why so many upstanding citizens hold these baboons in contempt.

cops are just as bad, if not worse than the people they arrest. they only have strength in numbers. (referring to police brutality videos i’ve seen) since when does it take a half dozen cops to put one handcuffed man in a car? they kick the shit out of the person being arrested and get away with it. his hands are behind his back so he obviously can’t fight back. first it the criminals, its only a matter of time before they direct their attention towards you and me.

“half dozen cops to put one handcuffed man in a car?”
My dad has juvenile diabetes. Hypoglycemia can cause superhuman strength in spasms. He is small 100 pound and he broke a coworkers arm that was three times his size.
However the cops who strike first and ask question later policy is out of control. Even if he was on drugs, assaulting someone so bad they need parts of their brain removed is unnecessary unless someones life was in immediate danger. Not just because they can’t understand orders at the moment.

My friend lives in Dearborn (the city where this incident took place). She had a situation where a male neighbor (drunk) across the street was swearing at her underage daughter. When she said to the neighbor “Don’t swear at my daughter” he grabbed his gonads and made a sexual gesture to the both of them. They spoke with the police and said they wouldn’t even bother coming out and talking to the drunk, they did nothing. Yet, they will harass law abiding people about piddly stuff. Remember, this is the same city where the notorious Officer Sanchez (I think that was his name) called 911 because he thought he was dead from eating pot brownies.

Not too bright in Dearborn.

Uhm, thanks for the verbal assault, Stan. I guess you think that’s O.K. Pffft.
Nowhere did I condone cop assault. I’m just suggesting that you try to get into a cop’s head and understand why and how they get to that point. After watching a few cop buddies go down giving strangers the benefit of the doubt, some get a ‘them or me’ mentality. Those loose cannon cop/guys need warnings, vacations, counselling, and perhaps firing if they can’t keep a level head.
