Philly Police Harass, Threaten to Shoot Man Legally Carrying Gun

[Pete]

Stupid punk, he should know better than to jump up out of his wheelchair and assault two cops - since they had a grip of both his arms.

Must be crazy also since he smashed his own head into the sidewalk.

"Arrest of Man In Wheelchair Raises Concerns"

".................The statement goes on to say "the patron resisted arrest which resulted in him falling out of his wheelchair."........................."

The civilians standing around? I can't believe they were even questioning the LEOs activities. Should have busted their heads and hauled them off also. And while they were at it they should have rounded up the person filming the incedent also. Geeez, the nerve of some people.

What better way to give all that high speed tac gear a work out than to bust up some cripples? All in a days work.

Look what happened to a quadriplegic being booked into the county jail in Tampa back in 2008.

Brian Sterner is a former emergency services telephone dispatch operator and has been a quadraplegic since he broke his neck at the age of 14 in a wrestling accident. He only has partial use of his arms, no feeling below the sternum and is unable to walk. Sterner was driving a small car fitted with hand pedals in October 2007 when police on patrol in Ybor City saw him waving his arms and shaking his head. He had been driving 5 mph in a 30 mph zone. Police lost sight of him, but found him later nearby. They said he made "foolish" statements. Police found no alcohol or illegal drugs but charged him with fleeing. He was arrested on a warrant on 29th January and brought to the booking room at the Hillsborough County, Florida jail. In order to search him, Deputy Charlette Marshall-Jones threw him from his wheelchair on to the floor. The incident was caught on a CCTV camera at the jail and this video footage of the incident has been widely circulated. The video shows Deputy Marshall-Jones walking behind Mr Sterner's chair to tip it forwards so he falls to the floor. Mr Sterner lands heavily and rolls onto his back and then Deputy Marshall-Jones starts searching his pockets.

How do you justify or explain behavior like that?

Has anyone else noticed that a majority of these incidents happen in the Northern, Eastern, and far west postion of the US where gun laws are seriously restricting?

I was sickened to read the article and the subsequent covering of asses in the shooting the of the West Pointer at the Costco and this article made it worse.

I grew up in Rhode Island and people there were gun shy. I had a CCW while in that state and I cannot tell you how many people, my parents included, had something negative to say. I now live in Alabama where shotgun racks are full and the gun shops are busy. In most cases the only questions you hear when someone sees someone carrying a gun are usually; "Where did you get it" and "How much".

That infuriates me as much this time watching it as the first time. Disgusting.
