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

If only this was just evidence of 'the actions of one' on the polices' part - unfortunately there's all too many of videos such as this, so quashes that theory to dust.

Quiet wimpy idiot defending another idiot.

Yes because cops drag people into custody to murder them. You naive mug. You need to live in the real world, preferably Somalia where there are no cops at all. Put your money where your fat mouth is and move there.

No he isn't, he's just a wanker.

I Know, fancy using a wheelchair as a prop so you can go and break the law with immunity. What an insult to disabled people.

The problem with this is that we can't really see how he ends up on the floor and we only have one persons account of what happened; the victims. If you have ever read Jody's blog then you'd know his attitude towards the police is negative, so we know he's biased/ We don't know all the facts here but what we do know is that any injury he may have sustained from being moved from his chair do not compare to the injuries he could have sustained from being trampled by the horses he was in the way of
