Simple question…
So, how did Mr. Owensby become a paraplegic?
You’re not permitted to break the law just because you’re crippled.
Remember Radio Free Europe? Now I really know why it was needed.
Known drug dealer and stuff.
You’re not permitted to break the law just because you’re crippled.
Did his car have Handicapped Tags?
Special controls for accelerator and brakes to enable a paraplegic to drive the car?
It’s amazing how I’ve gotten through 72 years and never had physical trouble with a cop. And I was pretty wild when young.
I haven’t watched the video, and I don’t intend to. I’m sure it’s not long enough to give us the full picture.
Nevertheless having dealt with a few a****** cops in my life I’m not automatically on their side for just pulling somebody over and demanding he get out of the car. As far as the money they found, I’m assuming they found it *after* they drug him out of the car? Did they have a warrant for searching his car without his permission? These instances where what they find after-the-fact justifies what they did before they knew it?
I would not be in the least bit surprised to find the man was involved in drug dealing. But people need to remember that when the cops can ignore the rights of somebody they suspect, that means they could ignore your rights to because they suspect you. Oh, but they won’t suspect you of anything because you know you haven’t done anything, right? Isn’t that the way it always works?
Do you have a warrant?
Am I under arrest?
Am I free to go?
Learn the magic words.
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.
OHIO PING!

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.”
