US police are investigating video showing a black man being dragged from his car by officers as he repeatedly screams "I'm paraplegic".
Bodycam footage shows officers stopping Clifford Owensby in Dayton, Ohio, last month and asking him to step out of his car so they can search it for drugs.
Mr Owensby, 39, refuses, saying he does not have use of his legs.
The officers insist he must get out and then pull him from the vehicle by his hair and arms as he calls for help.
The Dayton Police Department says it is now investigating the incident that took place on 30 September.
Authorities say the officers stopped Mr Owensby because he was driving away from a house suspected of hosting involvement in drugs. Police say they found a bag of cash containing $22,450 (£16,500) in the car.
Mr Owensby has not been charged over any drug-related offences.
During the incident, Mr Owensby repeatedly refuses requests to leave the car, although officers do say they will help him out.

“I’d also point out that it says the cops removed a young child from the car. Doesn’t it seem odd that the guy isn’t complaining about that?”
Just a prop, part of the scam. They should DNA test them and if the kid’s not his, charge him with kidnapping and child endangerment.
The concept is not selective. To do so is a double standard.
Folks are being shot because they “failed to obey a lawful order” all the time. It has become a trend and is criminal in it’s self.
I helped train Drug Canines for awhile. They are not supposed to, but they also train them to hit on just money alone. They will hit on even brand new bills never touched.
I guess I am not surprised.
Just about everything that we consider garbage or sewage by today's standards had a use. Pee was used for dying cloth and whitening cloths, coal soot as fertilizer and to make ink, ashes to make lye, horse poop to build houses.
Where there’s muck – there’s money
Oh, and Have a very Blessed Day!
Here’s the playbook if you get stopped by cops in the hood.
Step 1: Do not cooperate and make a chaotic situation.
Step 2: Frustrate the cops as much as possible in the hope they make a mistake or do something that looks bad on video.
Step 3: Profit.
May you get everything you deserve.
Of course the kid was being used as a prop. Common tactic. Notice that the leftist BBC didn’t say he wasn’t charged with anything. They very artfully said only that he wasn’t charged with any “drug-related offenses.”. He was cited for having too darkly-tinted windows - which is illegal in Ohio - and for the child not being restrained.
Why did the cop pull him over to begin with - for the dogs to be involved tho?
They were surveiling the drug house, but it would have been the illegally tinted windows - by definition clearly visible before the actual stop - that would have given the legal right for a stop in the first place.
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.

This combination of sentences leads me to believe the cops just wanted the money:
“Authorities say the officers stopped Mr Owensby because he was driving away from a house suspected of hosting involvement in drugs. Police say they found a bag of cash containing $22,450 (£16,500) in the car.
Mr Owensby has not been charged over any drug-related offences.”
Ok thanks. That’s what I was looking for.
They could not have known the money would be in the car when they stopped it. Also, unless I missed it, did the article say that they actually kept the money?
I was just noting that the 2 sentences written that way make it sound like it.
Especially since he was not charged.
