Stroke Victim Wins $1.6 Million Against LAPD

I had thought about this if I ever get pulled over in a traffic stop and asked to walk a straight line, at least now I could do it. The touch your nose with alternating hands/fingers would be a complete failure.

A Los Angeles man whose left arm was weakened by a stroke was awarded $1.59 million after city police officers complicated his condition by "maliciously" handcuffing the 56-year-old.
So appalled was the jury by the testimony of Los Angeles police officers that they ordered one officer to pay $90,000 out of pocket after finding “clear and convincing evidence” that he acted maliciously toward Allen Harris, according to court records and Harris' attorney V. James DeSimone.
LAPD officers detained Harris at his home Nov. 10, 2009, while investigating an armed robbery at a store where Harris' son worked. The son was a suspect. Police were there to search the Harris' apartment.
After the son was arrested, officers ordered the elder Harris to turn around, put his hands above his head, and walk backward to them, said DeSimone.
But Harris was physically unable to raise his left arm because of his disability, he told police. He raised his right arm but implored the police to understand that his left arm would not respond. Officers and Harris' neighbor testified that Harris had been cooperative.
