VIDEO: Cops Ordered To Pay After Beating Man In Diabetic Shock Breaking News & Views on BlackMediaScoop: Later in the video, the officers appeared to realize the man wasn’t drunk and called for medical help. “We found some insulin in his pocket,” said an officer. “Tell them to expedite. He’s semi-conscious.”
The $158,000 settlement was in addition to a $99,000 settlement for the man’s wife and $35,000 from the state of Nevada for civil rights violations. An officer seen in the video kicking the diabetic motorist is Sgt. Brett Seekatz, who has been with the Henderson Police Department since August 2002, ABC 13 reported.
Officials wouldn’t specify how or if Seekatz was disciplined over the incident, saying the information is a personnel matter and will not be released. He remains a member of the Henderson Police Department.
However, the department issued a statement noting changes since the incident. “Henderson Police Chief Jutta Chambers ordered a closer look at the training Henderson officers receive,” the statement read. “The training on use of force techniques was subsequently modified.”
