Arkansas Cops Caught on Video Assaulting Blind Man Before Lying on Arrest Report

A blind man in Arkansas sustained a back injury after being assaulted by Little Rock police who failed to identify themselves before lying about the incident.

After missing the bus from his job at Lighthouse for the Blind on June 1, Eric Wilson was walking home when he was approached by police and ordered to walk over to them.

Wilson is legally blind and says that he can only see shadows. He complied, despite not knowing if he was about to be robbed or about to be confronted with actual police officers as they did not identify themselves.

The one cop is black. Obvious racism is involved.

I don’t know, since the cop is black and the suspect is black it merges the racism and creates a fusion-racism effect or “Fusracism”

If you want to defend the attack on the blind man, after missing the bus from his job at Lighthouse for the Blind and having to walk home, why not do so?

That may be but thank goodness for cameras to spread some sunshine on out-of-control violent and lying cops. Both should be thrown in jail. There is no excuse to defend or allow cops to do things like this. For those that want to defend these two officers, what is the excuse this time?

The site also has videos of cops doing good.

Did the cops in the video abuse the guy and lie about it; or not? That’s what matters. The source does not.

Sorry, I just don't like to be referred to ridiculous cop-hater blog sites from FR.

My post was just to let others know the source before they clicked.

If the cops did something illegal, they should be punished.

We should just remember that in America, even cops are innocent until proven guilty.

We should also remember that hatred makes a person lose control of themselves.

At least two. Are people saying that websites shouldn't show videos of the police like this?

Without that free speech site and it’s like, we wouldn’t know when cops commit crimes and outrages.

Your hatred bleeds through in many of your posts, but you should show some interest in what was done to this blind man.

Posting videos is not a problem but there are approximate 700,0000 LEOs out there who did NOT beat up a blind guy.

A bit of balance would be nice.

But we don’t know whether they both self-identify as black.
