I've seen this film - I think it's called "Rampart".

Someone call Ironside!!

A wheel shame.

He slapped the copper first

I thought the disabled wanted to be treated equally

The guy in the wheelchair should have been shot in the head, stripped naked, tied by his arms to the back of a cop car and paraded around town with the siren blazing while the cops wave and blow kisses at people, these yankee police are way too soft in my humble opinion.

Any particular reason you feel this way?

Sarcasm meter needs a battery.

Brave cop, bet his mommy is proud.

ColeTrain · 02-10-2012 10:53PM

He should have been the bigger man and walked away.

Varied · 02-10-2012 10:55PM

If the guy didn't have a uniform, would he be as condemned?

Doesn't matter if you're in a wheelchair, if you slap me you are getting lamped back.

More importantly he didn't have his hat on.

Technically speaking the man in the wheelchair was not hitting a cop.

ah, now that's funny.

naughty, but funny.

Fromthetrees · 02-10-2012 11:03PM

I don't think this fela was a stand up guy, cop was right to bust him.

Two dickheads meet.

Technically speaking. That's a myth. In the United States anyways. Unless some jurisdictions have a dress code that requires it. They're still a cop though and can enforce lie law with or without a hat.

Well over the top by the cop there. No excuse for what he did as he wasn't exactly in a dangerous or life threatening position.

He should have cuffed the wheelchair guy and charged him with assaulting an officer in the line of duty and have the judge deal with it.

Edit: He should have cuffed the wheelchair.

Wee Willy Harris · 02-10-2012 11:18PM

Didn't pull no punches once he got the "green light" did he.

I know of wheelchair bound, acting erraticly particularly if it's alcoholism that literally put em there, via a skirmish or that but my dad frustratingly lashing out was in a 'can do this myself' manner and it's how the apparent motive for this attack appeared n should most certainly not have bn returned with such a vengeance. By a cop at that

Ronin247 · 02-10-2012 11:20PM

Am I the only one who thinks the cop was pulling his head backwards by the hair and that is why the "walkingly challenged" guy hit him

Super-Rush · 02-10-2012 11:22PM

Without the audio you don't get the full story.

The guy in the wheelchair could have been standing up for himself.

Probably tired of being pushed around.

Wee Willy Harris · 02-10-2012 11:25PM

Even if, though. Its just a no-go regardless - cop really waded in and it doesn't look good.

There's audio in the link but not much to be heard.

Even if the guy didn't even need a chair, you don't know what kind of pathetic wind up merchant - still looks extremely bad.

Spell it right and u would've gotten a thumbs up
Good puns
When a good pun happens I find that an occasion to STAND UP and be counted
If the fella in wheelchair was drunk is that not drink and driving?

Which would be giving him a slap back, not battering him and knocking him out of his wheelchair.

TwoShedsJackson · 03-10-2012 09:51AM

RtdH fails to link this incident to Obama, FEMA, or the Jews!??!!! That's the real surprise in this thread.

Duggy747 · 03-10-2012 10:01AM

He's a cop, he doesn't need to be throwing smacks around like that. He was trained on how to handle uncooperative people.

In another video with better audio you can hear him say to the girl (a nurse or whatever she is) "Shut up, back up, or I'll arrest you, too!"

Like every profession, you get dickheads. Even if the guy in the wheelchair is the biggest numpty on the planet, he didn't need to punch him in the head a few times.

GalwayGuy2 · 03-10-2012 10:09AM

Meh, you get dicks in every sector of society. Fire him, charge him, whatever and be done.
