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.

Thanks in advance!

You seem to have forgotten the rules on FR when it comes to any discussion regarding law enforcement.

And who would have ever believed it:

I think that the “law and order conservative” is still a thing. It’s just that the FReepertarians pile on so relentlessly, and hysterically that they drown out any rational debate.

The video I saw shows a “legally blind” man walking around with no cane or dog, along a busy street corner. Then he tries to pull away from the officer and falls back into the officer. The officer holds him up while he falls and sits him on the ground. Then the “blind man” refuses to cooperate with the officer.

This is pretty tame compared to what is shown on almost every COPS episode.

Law and order conservatives aren’t conservatives. They are pro union and pro big government.

Right.

Well, speaking only for myself of course, I’m not one to accept the Libertarians or Liberals defining what is, and is not, “conservative”.

What would you call pro union, pro unchecked big government philosophy then?
