Jody McIntyre being pulled from his wheelchair #demo2010

*Contains Strong Language*

Enhanced footage of disabled journalist Jody McIntyre being pulled from his wheelchair and dragged along the road by the police during the student protest on 9th Dec 2010 after refusing to leave the area.

(Note how one police officer is dragged away from the scene)

In Jody's own words "Somehow, me and Finlay managed to weave our way through the police line. We found ourselves in a large no-mans-land, in between the riot police trying to stop the crowd, and the police horses getting ready to charge. I turned in my wheelchair to face the police. "Move out of the way!" one of the mounted police shouted at me. I shook my head.

From the corner of my eye, I spotted one of the policemen from the earlier incident. He recognised me immediately. Officer KF936 came charging towards me. Tipping the wheelchair to the side, he pushed me onto the concrete, before grabbing my arms and dragging me across the road. The crowd of 200 ran and surrounded him."

notice the twat of a cop being pulled away so no one could get his number, and what about the 340 people who have died in police custody in the last decade with not 1 charge of any kind brought against any cop. if there are still people out there who think the cops are there to serve and protect you, you need to grow up and start living in the real world. they are corporate revenue enforcement officers put out their to make money for their masters

How low intellegence do you need to be to join the Police, Wheelchair, wheel the person out of the way. Also you do not know the nature of the reason for them being in the wheelchair, dragging certain people out of one could cause more permant damage.

Police constables earning 50K in th UK creaming over time is not so unusual. They should be given a standard basic pay like the forces and be made to work BHs etc like other servicemen rather than stealing tax payers money earning ridiculous double time etc . They all need a good kicking.

CUT police pay NOW!!
