Update: Paraplegic Ohio Driver

[WHITT]

The Dayton FOP issued a statement Friday evening in defense of two officers who pulled a paraplegic man from a car during a traffic stop.

"The officers followed the law, their training and departmental policies and procedures," Jerome Dix, president of Dayton Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #44, stated. "Sometimes the arrest of noncompliant individuals is not pretty, but is a necessary part of law enforcement to maintain public safety, which is one of the fundamental ideologies of our society.'

Noncompliant?

Not pretty?

These people need to find different jobs.

1. How did pulling a paraplegic out of his car maintain public safety?

2. A Modest Suggestion, Sir

If officers commit an outrage while following "the law, their training and departmental policies and procedures", then perhaps some revision of training and departmental policies and procedures, and even the law itself, might be in order.

3. Well spoken, sir.
