Man in Wheelchair Slammed and Bloodied by Police (Video)

Washington D.C. officials are investigating a situation that involves two D.C. police officers in what appears to be them tackling a wheelchair bound man onto the pavement, which resulted in him busting his head.

The incident took place late last week and was captured on video by a bystander. In the video it seems apparent that the two cops lift the man, who was not identified, out of his wheelchair and proceed to slam him onto the ground. The officers, however, claim they did not use excessive force and that the man fell out of his wheelchair.

According to the officers, the situation presented itself when they saw the man drinking alcohol on the street and therefore asked him to leave, but he refused . The man was arrested for both drinking in public and assault on police officers.

I didn’t need to ask if it were a ‘black’ man in the ‘age of Obama’.
I know that we are not safe from the abundance of white supremacists and that they can turn on us as fast as the Germans turned on the Jews around 1929.

The modus operandi is to keep us as a people, looking demeaned, demonized and unfavored in the eyes of the American populace (even amongst ourselves), so that, if and when they decide that they no longer want us around it would only take the right words uttered by the (most racist) media constantly, and bitterly, to have us attacked.
It is the same method the Nazis used against the Jews, and which took them by total surprise.

I say civil and criminal lawsuits and break these police dept..The only way to stop this type of brutality, is to have large civil suits settlements that will financially break these dept to get them to come to their senses..This man was in a wheelchair, how dangerous could he be for this type of force? Look at all that blood on the ground, he must have lost some teeth and had serious facial injuries…Like I have said repeatedly, these cops need to be off the force, and the dept should be broke, after that financial payout
