We can expect a whole lot more of this type of thing if Obama becomes president, too.

Dude come on. The president has nothing to do with this. That is the equivalent of the Huffpo commneters who immediately blame this on Bush. Check out the fist 3 comments at Huffpo. Its hilarious. Somehow George Bush was responsible for this poor guy getting tossed from his wheelchair. This is evidence of obsession and dimentia on the part of the Huffpo commenters. Lets not drop down to their level here.

In most states if you assault someone and break any of their bones, that is felony assault.

But those aren’t police officers. Being a cop is so dangerous that we must allow them to assault quadraplegics whenever they become annoyed with them.

Some animals ARE more equal than others!

We’re about to cut off water and power to y’all.

“…and that’s why I’m not seeking a customer service position, ma’am.”

It is more than a little disturbing that there were no reports filed on this – though it’s possible that they were lying when they said this was the first they’d heard of it.

I wonder if any other surveillance videos are waiting to be delivered to the news station?

I’ll say one thing – I’m pretty much down on the press, but sometimes they do the right thing. It’s just that they need to do more good than harm, and they have a long way to go.

Where’s silverstar380 to defend the cops?

You never know when a quadriplegic is going to whip out a Gat and start spraying! You can’t be too careful.

Too soon?

If only we’d elected Kerry in 2004, this guy wouldn’t have been dumped out of his wheelchair.

If you remember John Edwards said in 2004 that if he and Kerry were elected that Christopher Reeves would get up from his chair and walk because they would fund stem cell research.

At 1:18 into the remixed trailer. Greatest movie ever? Yes. Yes it is.

Look for Al Sharton to rage about how the Black police officers rights were violated by this video.

To you and other commenters pushing this tired tripe:

When was the last time Al Sharpton made news for injecting race where it was not relevant? Jesse Jackson? At what point do you idiots gain parity with Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson?

Every single day on this website and others, I read some barb about how “what if he was black” or “what if a white guy did that?” Many ignore the fact that there are many instances wherein racism is a factor. Also, there is a tendency to paint any minority as ready to seize upon race as a reason to bitch-and-moan. It’s an unfortunate and understandable backlash to the tiresome needling of retrograde race-baiters.

IMO there are more complaints now about racial double standards than there are about racism. Monitor as much media as you can for a week. Monitor HotAir comments for that same week. There’s no contest. You guys whine more than the original whiners.

I have never been ashamed to speak openly and honestly about race. I’ve stood my ground and called things as I’ve seen em all my life. As a black man, that has made me a target at times. But on the other hand I don’t have a ton of pent up racially-tinged aggression.

Since I don’t mince words with blacks, I won’t mince them with others. GET OVER IT! Try yoga or skydiving.

If you invoke race just because the people involved in a situation are of a different race than you, you are exactly like Al Sharpton or any other race-baiter.

This situation was perfectly awful without all of the “I’m not racist” birds chirping in unison. Somehow it’s always the people who “not racist” ones who find a way to inject race.

The thin veil of irony and sarcasm does not hide your true intent or frustration. Next time you invoke as a muted attack, remember this: Just because you say you’re not a racist, does not make it so. At some point, the attacks will graduate from passive-aggessive to just being aggressive. The acts will become second nature. Second nature despite your denials will reveal your true nature.

***
race rage: The inability any circumstance involving a minority without invoking race in anger or in jest.

Pardon any grammatical flubs, typos and tense changes. Creeping sharia race rage really grates my cheese.

It’s sad that the citizens of that city will end up paying for some idiots behavior.

I’ve seen a lot of spinals, Dude, and this guy is a fake. A f’ing goldbricker. This guy f’ing walks. I’ve never been more certain of anything in my life!

Exactly what I was thinking Dude.
