Metro Transit Police Slam Man In Wheelchair Face First Into Concrete

A few days ago in Washington D.C., across the street from the historic landmark eatery Ben's Chili bowl on U Street N.W., two Metro Transit Police snatch a homeless resident from his wheelchair and slam him face first Into the concrete. They then proceed to charge the man with Assault on a Police Officer in front of out raged neighbors who witnessed. Metro Police are a private police force who's enforceable powers are extended to DC, MD, and VA. I wonder was this assault that occurred on city property billed to the District of Columbia tax payers or did metro pick up the ambulance and medical bill? In addition, who should be charged with assault?

Assuming the first part of your comment is true... how does that justify slamming the guy face first to the ground?? I'll save you the time... IT DOESN'T! This is fascism pure and simple. Our founding fathers would be sickened to see what our country is tolerating nowadays.

I have watched this video so many times my eyes hurt. I did not see any struggle or a attempt to flee. The cops need their badges stripped from them and be charged with aggravate assault.

For the people saying he tried to flee,,,either your one of the cops, or your just blind..
