A driver in diabetic shock was kicked in the head several times in a shocking display of police brutality that won him $158,000 in a lawsuit.

Adam Greene, of Las Vegas, was pulled over at about 4am on October 29, 2010 after a Nevada State Trooper spotted him weaving in traffic.

Mr Greene claimed he was driving that way because he had fallen into diabetic shock.

As five cops restrain the man on the ground, a Henderson police officer walks into the shot and kicks Mr Greene in the head five times.

'Stop resisting, mother f*****,’ one officer says.

As he is struck, Mr Greene can be heard moaning in agony as the other officers struggle to cuff him.

Officers later searched Mr Greene and found a vial of insulin in his pocket.

The discovery prompts one of the officers to radio in to his dispatcher: 'He’s a diabetic. He's probably in shock, semiconscious.'

Authorities said they will not release the names of the officers involved in the incident.

The Las Vegas Sun reported that the settlement of $158,000 was OK'd by the Henderson City Council last night, and an additional $30,000 amount will be paid by the state of Nevada.

N.B - Is it just a coincidence that the dashcam marker says NWO2?

I'm so glad that the officer asked his colleagues if they required medical attention. Think of all the injuries they could have obtained from beating on a incapaciatated man who is offering no resistance.
