Fun fact: there are three cops for every 1000 people.

Who would win, 3 human sized cops or 1000 human sized people?

In America 43% of homes own guns with 7.4 guns per household.

This is like when Wiley was accused of breaking into a kickboxing world champion's house and "assaulted" him by kicking him repeatedly 🤣🤣🤣

I watched this video a few days ago, and while on paper it seems absurd you can't discount the possibility this dude could be faking it.

These cops just met this guy, they don't know his situation, they just know he's the guy they were told to find. I sit in wheelchairs from time to time and roll around for fun.

And something that would very well have been easily able to verify, if they had bothered. Instead they cuffed him and made him fall out of his chair, potentially causing a fatal injury.

You mean the part where you can see him toss himself from the chair? It was a soccer level flop.

He has no abdominal control so raising his arms unbalanced him.

This is very simple, he is disabled and the cop who arrested him is extremely stupid.

I am a disability support worker, and can absolutely attest that depending on the injury level and their age/muscle tone, something as dumb as pushing them sideways a bit can dump them on the floor.

Hell, the young ones do it to each other to be jerks lol. I've joined a stadium full of people teasing one of my clients for not wearing his seatbelt because he fell out of his chair with an epic splat after being bumped.

Or check his drivers license that shows he uses hand controls, or look in his car to see the hand controls and handicap sticker, or simply look at his legs that you can tell even through his pants that they have zero muscle mass, or run a background check on the woman who had done this to someone else and got arrested for it in the past, or see that the guys house has a wheelchair ramp, or not get an arrest warrant based on one person's accusation, or see that a guy who was married with a family for the past decade had not been living with the woman like 2 days prior to the assault and that the guy has an alibi from several other people during the time of the alleged assault........

What the fauck else do you need, dude? Are you retarded?

[–] felykiosa@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Yeah but what if he did all that in case he would be arrested. ./s

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 5 days ago

Playing the long game. Smart guy.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

only a truly mentally challenged cop would be unable to overcome that situation

by your logic I could call the cops on you and they should take you in even though we may not even be in the same country
