Washington D.C. -- Two officers, identified as Washington D.C. cops, were caught on camera slamming a wheelchair bound man to the ground.

The video entitled “DC police abuse homeless man in wheelchair”, was uploaded to Youtube on May 19, 2011, by someone using the screen name ChrisWhite313.

At the beginning of the footage, two cops can be seen wrestling with a man riding what appears to be a motorized wheelchair, and instructing him to “get on the ground”. Which is a little difficult to do if you can't walk.

Then the officers throw the seemingly disabled man onto the concrete, causing his head to bleed. A person at the scene said the alleged suspect's head was "bust wide open".

When a bystander asked one of the arresting officers why the man was being taken into custody, the cop said the injured man “assaulted a police officer”. Angry eyewitnesses openly disagreed with the officer’s version of what happened and told him that his reasons for arresting the man “weren’t true”.

A woman in the background can be heard saying the bleeding suspect lives on the block where the incident occurred.

New to the "force" after X tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, I betcha, I betcha, I betcha. Ry's probably right. Instead of being disciplined, fired, or charged and arrested as they should be, they'll get accommodations and a bonus for bravery for their actions under extreme circumstances.

Why was this yootoob censored? Did somebody say a bad word? Or, is it to make it difficult for young people to see so as not to shatter the graven image they are given by the state of the man in blue?

The Police attacked a guy in a wheelchair in London during a protest recently. Personally, I think it was to insight a reaction from the mainly peaceful crowd. I'm sure it's only a small minority - but some authority figures seem to lack control. I've been told that the Police in the UK are being trained to be a lot more aggressive than they used to be.

That policy is being taken up by too many countries these days.

It's how authority behaves when it feels insecure in a world that has turned against it; it feels it needs to show more force and aggression to certify its position to its subjects. It's authoritarianism in action.

I bet he felt real tough picking on someone in a wheelchair
