BBC Ouch discussion thread on this:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbouch/F2322273?thread=5095881" REL="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbouch/F2322273?thread=5095881</A><BR/><BR/>And you can see the news article about it (and the video of the incident) at:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www2.tbo.com/content/2008/feb/13/na-toss-from-wheelchair-brings-jail-suspensions/" REL="nofollow">http://www2.tbo.com/content/2008/feb/13/na-toss-from-wheelchair-brings-jail-suspensions/</A><BR/><BR/>Most of the comments posted to this article are from people calling for the officer to be fired. One person who knows the officer has leapt in to her defense claiming that she must have simply had a momentary lapse of judgment on a bad day and is actually a good officer. (And her past record is supposed to be enough to excuse this behavior now? Sorry, not buying it.)Andrea Shettle, MSWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984732076766787818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-59116861275658750982008-02-12T12:13:00.000-05:002008-02-12T12:13:00.000-05:00Gosh, who needs wigs with a sense of humor like th...Gosh, who needs wigs with a sense of humor like that?Veralidainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13088847533106124184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-52181412962876771562008-02-12T11:02:00.000-05:002008-02-12T11:02:00.000-05:00oh my God - that's great!
