Disabled Man Dumped from Wheelchair? What do you think?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 94/100. scags2005 (1411) 4 years ago

Did you hear about the man who was arrested and then dumped out of his wheelchair by an officer who thought he wasn't disabled? I thought it was terrible, a violation of his rights and just plain wrong. Whether they believed he was disabled or not didn't allow them to do this. Whether he did something to so called deserve this i can't believe. Especially when he couldn't move and just laid there like a lump on the floor, when is it enough? It just stuck me as bullying.

No, I haven't heard about that. Was there just cause to believe the man wasn't disabled? Any indication that it was just a hoax? I mean I can't phanthom, a police officer just for kicks doing this, with out some reason behind it.

Yes it is true, it was in the paper recently and on the news. This is where i found it here: http://www.tampabays10.co.... They could have seriously injured him by doing that. Sometimes people just don't think.

I heard about that and I find it very disturbing. Instead of dumping him like that they should have really looked into why he was in wheelchair instead of just assuming that he was faking it. They did violate his rights and he has all the right to sue if he has too. No one who is disabled should be thrown out of their chair like that. It was wrong of them to do this.

Oh i totally agree, i believe he is pursuing a lawsuit now against the dept. If i remember right they said that the officer has been suspended till further notice.

This story happened in Florida, of course. It seems like Florida has a lot of issues with their law enforcement. How many people do you know that drive around in their handicapped adapted car, in a wheelchair that are not actually disabled. I do it at least once a week, I mean come on give me a break this cop was peaved because she told him to stand up so she could search him and he said I told you already stupid I cant stand up. So after a few times of him calling her stupid she got real mad and ordered him to be dumped out of his chair where the assault on this man continued. Now he has had several traffic violations in the past so he is well known to the police, maybe they should revoke his drivers license rather than roughing him up.

i agree, they could have handled it in another way. Don't they have to take classes on handling the public do's and don'ts? Words shouldn't enrage someone to do something hurtful to another. They could have charged him with something but not abused him in this way.

This is totally against the disabled man's rights and favor. The police officers were very brutal and harsh in treating him. If he had done wrong, he should not be treated like that. He deserves some respect as a person and human being like all of us. He should be given enough chances.

Agreed, peoples rights are violated enough these days. Thanks for commenting.
