    I watched this video a few days ago, and while on paper it seems absurd you can’t discount the possibility this dude could be faking it.

    These cops just met this guy, they don’t know his situation, they just know he’s the guy they were told to find. I sit in wheelchairs from time to time and roll around for fun.

      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.

          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.
