This just has to be seen to be believed! I think the bitch cop that did this should face criminal charges and if I was this guy, I'd sue the hell out of the PD!!

I think there is a good chance she'll be charged.

The Sheriff has already appeared on the evening news to apologize.

Her career is over. She'll be lucky not to end up in the jail she used to work in.

Will do.

I get the feeling, if that's how she treats citizens, that her time in the jail she sent people to would be pretty interesting.

Well what do you actually expect?
County "officers" often have little to no training prior to becoming jail "officers".
They are also horribly paid, and many even w/o benefits.
At least around here.

It is crap like this that makes people hate cops.
I hope the guy ends up winning a huge settlement. The thing is, unlike you and I, cities are insured thru a risk pool managed by the state municipal league. (if the city is a member) She dumps him on the floor, cha-ching! taxpayer dollars pay. I'm sure he'll name her in the suit as well.

Well if they could get their story straight it may help. A quadriplegic is someone who has all four limbs paralysed. Not that tipping anyone out of a wheel chair is necessarily a noble act but this oversight leads me to view the story with a little scepticism at least.

And pretty terrifying.
Sad fact is that after living twelve years in Florida the clip didn't really shock or surprise me. Had a few too many of those "Where you from, BOY" experiences when I lived there for that to happen. But, to be fair, I've seen the counter-balance to all that in Florida too. Good on the Sheriff to get on the T.V. to apologize for that, uhh, snatches' actions as well. I just hope, if she does get locked up, that she gets put in "General Population" instead of "Protective Isolation".

Throwing someone out of a wheelchair like that would likely get you beaten, kicked and stomped to death somewhere down the line where I was raised, CYDharta. There was absolutely no excuse for that. None whatsoever.

Wow. The death penalty for a simple battery?

Of course there was no excuse for that. I don't see anyone remotely suggesting there was.

Makes it real hard to see the other side of that fence too, Chassisman. Takes a lot of energy and time to be able to re-adjust your focus after seeing- or experiencing- the actions of assholes like that too.

Don't recall saying anybody was, Matt. Just relating what would probably happen to someone like that where I come from up in Yankee country.
