Are you sure you can't walk?

And while we're at it, let's not forget the four Hillsborough County, Florida, sheriff's deputies who have been suspended for dumping a paralyzed man from his wheelchair. After he was brought in for a traffic violation.



You know ... Eventually, abusive government officials are going to catch on to the fact that much of what they do ends up recorded and distributed on the Internet where it excites public outrage. Then they'll either have to clean up their acts or turn their attention to somehow censoring such information from the Internet.

I'm betting that they'll try to choose the censorship option first.

Update: "The deputy accused of dumping an inmate out of a wheelchair is headed to jail."

Deputy Charlette Marshall-Jones has also resigned to preserve some share of her retirement benefits in the lead-up to her trial.

You have to wonder how much more abuse the general population will take before it says "enough."
You have to wonder why we don't take measures (such as administering thorough psychological screenings) to prevent those with a high potential for abusing power from getting positions of power!
