This is from my local news station, the jail is in Hillsboro county which is directly south of me, (home to Tampa, FL).

This guy was in jail for a traffic violation, he was told to "stand up" he said "i cant, i'm quadriplegic" apparently she didn't believe him because she dumped him out of his wheel chair, breaking two ribs.

Terrible.

Hey Alex01Tib, did you move to Florida recently? I thought you lived in the north? Sorry for the OT, but your not accepting messages and shoutbox doesn't seem to work on this comp for some reason.

that's how f up the police are. it's funny how they said they had no idea about anything even with the video. wonder why this sterner guy was arrested...hmmm.

but what's more interesting is how an advocate can work blind. amazing.
