    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.

        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.

        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.
