DETROIT -- Police officers in two Detroit suburbs are accused of beating a motorist who was suffering a diabetic episode on a freeway.
Lawyer Arnold Reed says 59-year-old Ernest Griglen had brain surgery after the June 15 encounter with police and has been clinging to life with help from a ventilator.
Reed filed a lawsuit Monday in federal court seeking at least $20 million from Allen Park and Dearborn police. He says officers mistakenly believed Griglen was resisting arrest when he was having a major medical problem.
An Allen Park police report says Griglen's car was swerving.
Allen Park police wouldn't comment on the lawsuit. Dearborn police released a report saying an officer feared Griglen's insulin pump was a weapon. The Associated Press

Why do you have no description of what the man did once he pulled over, you only post what the police did. Do you really think they pulled him over yanked him out of the car, beat him within an inch of his life, and then called an ambulance for him. That makes no sense at all.
