Actually, there is a picture of the amputee. The wheelchair appears to be in a "typical push type wheelchair" based on the image.

Yea the handle on the back looks like it but there are a few cheaper models with that also. I'm not taking up for the Cops. But I've seen a lot in my life both at Rehab Centers where head injuries, spinal cord, and stroke patients are.

I knew a patient in a nursing home I worked at that if you made the mistake of getting your head close to his feet could about kick your head off. No Warning. He gave me a good hard kick in the knees one time. He too was in a wheelchair. He was a head trauma patient from time in Nam.

I also saw a kid with a head injury hold off staff one night with a busted Coke Bottle. That was in a rehab unit not a group home. Venue means a lot as it determines who responds. Facility workers know the patients and know how to eventually gain control. Most group homes or assisted living facilities are one or two staff members usually untrained and high turnovers. They are not trained for dealing with those type issues nor are they staffed too do so.
