It's his own fault - he should have had a dog for them to shoot.

Five officers against one man in a wheelchair - why, oh why, didn’t they call for backup?

All in a days work.

There’s people who shouldn’t be cops and they let them be cops. There’s people who prove they shouldn’t continue to be cops and they continue to be cops. The video should be fair game for any trial in which this guy’s involved, thereby rendering him totally useless as a cop putting him on equal footing with his uselessness as a human being.

Guy in a wheel chair mouths off to cops all day long and then runs over a cops foot on the way out. Maybe it was an accident or not.

But when you play games with cops - don’t be surprised when you are on the ground with cuffs.

Fat cops...Hell, I’m in better shape.

It’s amazing how the left wants the public disarmed, but are totally cool with people like this having all of the guns.

It's clear from the video that the motorized wheelchair ran over the cop's foot. A motorized wheelchair is in the neighborhood of around 300 pounds and often capable of carrying another 300+ pounds. I think most people might be at least a little irritated after having their foot run over by a heavy machine.

The cop might have over-reacted, but his response wasn't completely unexpected.

I almost always bash the cops on vids like this, but ya know what?

Para definately tried to run over the cop’s foot —I can’t say this was totally unprovoked. Pushing him over like that wasn’t called for but this guy absolutely needed to be arrested and roughed up.

Looks bad, sure, and some overuse of force, but there was some provocation, there.

90% of the ones I comment on really ARE jack-boots syndrome, but this is not really an egregious case, I think.

There is a small number of handicapped people who think they have a 100% free pass.

This demonstrates a problem, not only with law enforcement, but all government service. The Chief wants to get rid of him, but then has to keep him due to a labor relations board. The same thing happened in Spokane WA recently. A sheriff's deputy was caught having sex on duty. The Sheriff began the process to fire him and he was overruled by an arbitrator.

This will also happen when people start getting named in the VA and IRS scandals.

Here’s the raw dash cam video (looped a couple of times).

Why didn’t the officer step aside to give him leeway to maneuver? He seemed to be deliberately blocking his path... at least partially. If you had just been confronted by police, you would surely want to be on your way as soon as possible.

I agree. Bad employees should be fired. This is true for government workers, teachers, professor, unions and private sector workers. If you can't effectively do the job you were hired to do then, goodbye. When you allow them to continue you are screwing the communities, taxpayers, students, companies and stock holders.

Thanks for posting. He clearly yelled, “I DIDN’T SEE YOU!”

Most likely the cop was fired, by his own people, because he violated one of the main goals of today’s law enforcement: Terrorize the serfs.

The handicap man should have been tasered into a fatal heart attack or made to absorb 5-to-6 rounds...

Sometimes ya just gotta show people who’s boss. Ya know?

It’s amazing how the left wants the public disarmed, but are totally cool with people like this having all of the guns.

What's really amazing is how the left is so anti-police and anti-law enforcement in general, and yet they want far more laws and government intrusion into our lives, enforced by guess who?

[Kirkwood]

If this were Mayberry, Andy would have taken the guy home and Aunt Bea would have made him fried chicken and a peach pie for supper.

[chiefqc]

well at least the moronic a-hole cop went home safe.

Maybe the cop felt for his safety or he was pissed that there was no service dog to shoot and kill.

Cop should be sued for all he’s worth and sent to jail for 5 years.
