In Florida, calls are growing for criminal charges against four police officers suspended for tipping a quadriplegic man out of his wheelchair. Surveillance footage shows the officers threw Brian Sterner out of his wheelchair after he was brought to jail over a traffic violation. Sterner says the officers grew angry at him after he told them he could not obey their orders to stand up. His attorney, John Trevena, called for prosecution.
John Travena: “That detention deputy should be charged criminally for abuse and battery on a disabled person.”
