A Deutsche Bank executive is suing the Los Angeles Police Department and the City of L.A. for millions of dollars after allegedly being held captive in a motel room by police officers who then savagely beat him up.

He claims two officers confronted him in Highland Park, near a marijuana dispensary, and demanded to know what he was doing there.

They searched him and his car, he says, finding several thousands of dollars stashed in the vehicle.

The cops put him in a patrol car and drove him to a nearby motel where they left him in a room, telling him to stay there until they returned.

So if that were the case, why wouldn't he have been brought in to a precinct, why taken to a motel and then beaten hours later when he tried to escape?

I hope this guy wins big.
