Mr Universe assaulted by police during low blood sugar episode!

click above for the article

Ok, can you believe this.

Mr. Universe or Doug Burns was clubbed and beaten in the head and body by police when a security guard at the movie theatre he was in thought that Doug was intoxicated because he was in the middle of a low blood sugar episode.

If anyone is diabetic like myself, you know how scary it can be.
Your confused and not quite sure whats going on.
I had such a bad episode that my sister gave me food in order to put my sugar back up. I just sat there and I didn't even know what to do with it.
You pretty much feel like a weak angry drunk, so i could see why the police might of thought that Doug was drunk but I mean come on, you don't just go in and beat someone, try and de-esclate the problem first.

If you are out with someone that is a diabetic, make sure you go with them if you know they are having a low, or you may end up losing a friend to the police.
