man dumped

We watched another video in Adapted Physical Activity and its a video of a man that is in a wheelchair who was dumped on the floor. I could not believe that anyone would do that to a person in a wheelchair. The worst part was that it was a police officer who dumped him. The man must have given attitude or the police officer didn't believe that he was paralyzed from the chest down and thats why he is in a wheelchair. So she dumped him on the floor and he tried to roll to protect his ribs but its hard when your paralyzed. Then the officer frisked him! I feel that it is not right after dumping him on the ground. She shouldn't have dumped him in the first place. I feel that the police officers need some education about people with disabilities and find to different ways to handle people in wheelchairs.

I totally saw that on the news the other day! I guess they thought he could walk and wouldn't get up so they just dumped him! I hope they got in trouble. That's just so wrong! Can you imagine if a teacher did that to a student? Lawsuits everywhere!

I cant understand how somwone could be so cruel. I think this officer should be arrested herself and spend time thinking about what she has done. You never know what power will do to people. I hope this is a lesson for others.
