On a more serious note, isn't most of America concerned about what these pigs consider "assault" to be!

We have several tenants who use those type chair, and I will tell you that a paraplegic, or a quadriplegic, person is about the least threatening individual you'll ever meet.
When one is either mainly, or totally, dependent on others to get through life; one tends not to be an a-hole.

Back story I read on another site said the man was drinking in public, refused to leave when ordered by the cops, and started flailing at them from his wheelchair when they informed him that he was to be arrested. He kinda brought in on himself (the arrest part after being told to move along), but the cops did not handle themselves well at all, it's a PR-nightmare for the Dee Cee cops.

How long will it be before we begin to see scenes like this in America?

There was no formal psych screening back in the day. I suspect today's "evaluations" are geared more toward political correctness than mental health. The REAL PSYCH EVALUATION of a police officer didn't come in the form of an interview or a test, but rather how he (there were no hers) behaved once on the street. The beat Sargent was god; after a month he knew the pecans from the average Joe's. The tip off was made easier for him when fellow officers refused to work with the jack off. Back then the probationary period was one year, and no union rule could save the whack jobs. They were booted when identified.

A better time.
A much better grade of peace officers.

The man interviewed has severe facial and eye damages. I have to question, though, if it's the same man because of the beard. Maybe the man in the first video just looks clean shave because the film is blurry or maybe he could grow a short beard in four days. I don't know. Just asking. If this did happen, the "Transit cops'"/mercs' claim that they had to act so forcefully because he might be armed is ludicrous and despicable.

I'm not sure which video you're talking about, the only one I see is one containing the YouTube video of the takedown of the guy out of his wheelchair, along with witness interviews.
Didn't see any bearded guy in it.

The video at the top of the page at the NBC Washington link that I posted for updated-news on this.
I can't tell for certain if the guy in the takedown video doesn't have a beard but am glad I'm not the only one who didn't see him as bearded then. It just looks like a different person to me in the interview at the update-link -- and not only because of the beard there -- but I suppose a swollen face could be why he looks different.
Edited to correct wording of 2nd sentence.

Yeah, the way they threw a helpless man to the ground is inexcusable short of the man threatening them with a gun. He was "flailing" at them so they had to throw him down on the sidewalk and bust him up like that? I hope that guy sues their dumb @$$e$--bet those two are related to GrandIsland on LP.

He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless.

Uh, must have missed the video on the top, I looked at the one on the bottom.
But yep, that's the crippled guy they brutalized.

I was thinking the same thing. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.

Probably happen about the way it did on that first video where the pigs were beating up on that guy and the soccer fans went medieval on their butts. I thought that was great. Cops like that are nothing more than the bullies that we can all remember from our childhoods, the kind of people who beat up those who are weaker than they are, or who they believe to be weaker. And I speak for no one but me but I always enjoy seeing bullies getting their comeuppance.
