[VIDEO] New controversy with police in the US after they violently removed paraplegic from his vehicle

The video, released by the city’s own police department recently, shows how Clifford Owensby repeatedly explains that he cannot get out of the vehicle as he is paraplegic.” I can’t go out. I’m a paraplegic,” he is heard repeatedly saying to police in the more than ten-minute video. During the tense conversation, recorded by the police video camera, one of the officers warns him to “either cooperate and get out of the car or drag him out of the vehicle,” ignoring pleas. Finally, officers pull Owensby out of the driver’s seat and drop him on the asphalt. The incident occurred on September 30 when the man was stopped by the police at a traffic control. At a news conference this weekend, James Willis, Owensby’s lawyer, said he will likely file a formal lawsuit against the officers “next month” as he considers what happened “as illegal and unnecessarily brutal.” The police report states that the officers wanted to investigate the vehicle for possible possession of drugs and cite obstruction of justice and resistance to arrest by Owensby.
