British Police Winning The War On Disabilities
Police in London are under fire after footage emerged showing officers pulling a man with cerebral palsy from his wheelchair and dragging him down the street during recent student protests against tuition fee hikes. “Though it is almost too dark to see [20-year-old Jody] McIntyre being hauled from his wheelchair just seconds later, sudden and repeated shouts of ‘What the fuck are you doing?’ make it obvious what it going on. Moments later, Mr McIntyre can be seen lying in the road as a policeman drags him towards the kerb and the camera. ‘You just tipped him over,’ cries a voice, as another officer prevents fellow protesters from intervening. Bellows of ‘Scum!’ ring out, and the video eventually cuts off just after a policeman is pulled away from the ensuing mêlée by fellow officers.”
