SAN FRANCISCO (CN) — Jack Bruce, an East Bay tradesman, was driving home from visiting his grandmother this past April when he suffered a seizure that caused him to lose control of his car, veer off the side of the road and crash into some trees in the Bay Area city of Hercules.
Two bystanders called 911, telling dispatchers Bruce appeared to be having a seizure.
Hercules police officers Angel Garcia, Michael Thompson and Joshua Goldstein responded to the scene. Body camera footage shows that Bruce appeared confused and fell asleep while the police questioned him. But instead of helping him, the officers yanked him out of the car, shot him with a Taser, punched him in the face and filed sham criminal charges against him that were later dropped, according to a civil rights lawsuit filed Friday morning in San Francisco against Hercules and the officers.
Bruce says the officers violated procedures and ignored their training and common medical practices when they decided to forcibly remove him from his car and assaulted him.
