It was later confirmed that Bruce had suffered a tonicclonic seizure while the officers attempted to cover up their excessive use of force by falsely reporting that he was under the influence of an unknown substance. Bruce has filed a lawsuit against the city of Hercules and its police department on more than seven counts, including false arrest, excessive force, battery, negligence, and [music] intentional infliction of emotional distress. He is seeking general damages for the physical pain, suffering, and emotional trauma he endured, as well as punitive damages against the officers and firefighters involved. And that's how a medical emergency turned into a violent [music] confrontation. Do you think the officers truly misunderstood the situation, or did they cross a clear line of misconduct?
