LAS VEGAS (AP) - A Nevada man and his wife are receiving
$292,500 from Henderson police and the state of Nevada to settle a
federal lawsuit stemming from a kicking and punching attack on the
man during an October 2010 traffic stop.
Adam Greene was treated for broken ribs, cuts and bruises after
Henderson police and Nevada Highway Patrol troopers realized that
his erratic driving was because he was suffering from diabetic
shock, not because he was drunk.
Video images of the beating recorded by NHP dashboard cameras
were released Tuesday by Greene's lawyers.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports the Henderson City Council approved a $158,500 settlement for Greene, his wife received $99,000 and the state agreed to pay $35,000.
Henderson police say departmental use of force policies have
since been changed.

Are you kidding me. Those involved in that beating should be picking up soap in the Nevada State Penitentiary. Why do we have a double standard when it comes to law enforcement. You think their peers would arrest them and kick the tar out of them because of the embarrassment they cause all law enforcement. Or are they all dirty?
