Article Excerpt:

From [HERE] ATLANTA -- A truck driver who says he suffered a stroke after Atlanta police officers used excessive force on him plans to take legal action. Derek Holmes put the city of Atlanta and its Police Department on notice that a lawsuit is in the works. He said officers snatched him from his car and his head hit the concrete as he pulled into a southwest Atlanta gas station at University Avenue and Pryor Road in January.

"I have severe brain damage right now," Holmes told Channel 2’s Tom Jones. "I was snatched out of the car and slammed to the ground. My head banged to the ground." He said when his head hit the ground, he suffered a massive stroke. "I stayed in ICU for four days," Holmes said.
