Severely Beaten Cop Suffers TBI
A 17 year veteran police officer was severely beaten in the summer of 2007 while trying to arrest an alleged church burglar. The perpetrator grabbed Sergeant Mike Kane’s baton and beat him with it, then proceeding to strike Kane several times in the face with his fist. The beating caused him to suffer a traumatic brain injury. He still suffers from the affects of his brain injury; blurred vision, dizziness and he has to take medicine every night to fall asleep. Sergeant Kane is still unable to return to his job because of his TBI, his doctors say that he may never return. "I'm going back, I'm not going to give this guy the satisfaction of that," Kane said. Kane is now left with trying to provide for his wife and little girls.
