    Of course not. He's paid by the state to enforce the law professionally - and wears a uniform to signify that to the public.

    People expect higher standards from law enforcement officers than they do from randomers.

    The man in the wheelchair didn't really hit him in the face, it was more like a pat in the face.

    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.
    2 in 1?

    Well played, SR.
    Probably TYRED of being pushed around
    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?
    It's tired.

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

    If you're pulling a guys neck back by the hair, which that police officer was doing, you're going to get a slap. Also, the amount of aggression that cop showed was well beyond over kill, regardless of the wheelchair.

    As the saying goes "dont start a fight if you're in a wheelchair".

    Maybe if he, maybe if the wheelchair .. ah I got nothing.

    That's nothing, recently a cop shot dead a one armed, one legged man in a wheelchair.

    Hard to beat that for stupidity.

    He slapped the copper first

    I thought the disabled wanted to be treated equally

    I don't think the officer should be allowed to do much of what he did to someone not in a wheelchair.

    Plus difference in capacity means the officer had more options than in the person wasn't in a chair inasmuch as the officer needed only step backwards and he was safe from being hit again and gather his composition to see how to better arrest and detain the man.
