30 day suspension for shoving over a parapalegic, if there was any justice in this world this piece of shit would be hanging from a tree, how much more cowardly can a person be than this?
It has become increasingly difficult to ignore that âthere is a rich history of cops abusing power. Since videocameras have become prevalent in public, evidence has unsurprisingly piled up that some officers are basically paid to be the same bullies they were in high school. What is surprising though, is that even all the video evidence in the world doesn't seem to bring police back from beyond reproach.
Example: Lt. Tom Davidson, of the Lafayette, Indiana LPD, pushed an innocent man out of his wheelchair, and he won't be fired for it.
This video was taken on Oct. 1, 2013 outside of a school. Police had just finished checking the victim, Nicholas Kincade, for weapons because the school called and alleged that Kincade had claimed to have a gun. All of the officers on the scene, including Davidson, determined that Kincade had no weapons. They issued Kincade--who has no use of his legs--a warning to not trespass onto school grounds, and then they sent him on his way, which Kincade did for about 3 feet before Davidson pushed him on his side and ironically arrested the paraplegic for assault.
Davidson was place on administrative leave during investigation of the incident. The officers who conducted the investigation, including Lafayette Police Chief Patrick Flannelly, recommended Davidson be fired. But he wasn't. The Lafayette Police Civil Service Commission voted 3-2 that he acted within LPD policies. They stripped Davidson of his rank, gave him 30 days unpaid suspension, and one year of probation, which is a weird way to handle a situation in which they'd just voted that Davidson acted within LPD policies. But I suppose that's how you slap someone on the wrist for a fireable offense.
