Four US sheriff's deputies have been suspended after deliberately

dumping a quadriplegic man out of his wheelchair to search him,

officials have said.

Brian Sterner was tipped onto the floor of the Florida police station

after being arrested over a driving offence.

Unable to walk since a 1994 accident, he has only partial use of his

arms and no feeling below the sternum.

The incident in January was caught on a CCTV camera in the jail in

Hillsborough County, which incorporates Tampa.

Charlette Marshall-Jones, the deputy who actually forced the man from

the chair, has been suspended without pay.

Fellow officers Sgt Gary Hinson, Cpl Steven Dickey and Cpl Decondra

Williams have been put on administrative leave until an investigation

can be completed, sheriff's department spokeswoman Debbie Carter said.

Unable to break fall

Mr Sterner, who is able to drive, had been arrested at his home by

officers acting on a driving violation warrant.

Mr Sterner said that when he arrived in the booking office the

officers told him to stand up, but he was unable to do so.

Once he was on the floor, two officers searched Mr Sterner

According to an interview he gave to the Tampa Tribune newspaper, Mr

Sterner said that Dep Jones "was irked that I wasn't complying to what

she was telling me to do".

"It didn't register with her that she was asking me to do something I

can't do."

The surveillance video, released by the sheriff's office, shows Dep

Jones walk behind Mr Sterner's chair and tip it forwards until he

falls to the hard floor below.

Unable to brace his fall, Mr Sterner lands heavily and rolls onto his

back, at which point Dep Jones starts searching his pockets.

A fellow officer joins her, helping to roll Mr Sterner over and search

his back pockets.

The pair then attempt to get Mr Sterner back into his chair, but

finding that they are unable to do so they call over to other deputies

who help them lift him into place.

"The actions are indefensible at every level," Chief Deputy Jose

Docobo said of the incident. "Based on what I saw, anything short of

dismissal would be inappropriate."

The sickos at the HCSO are on youtube every six months but this has

been an going on problem for decades. They really need a federal

investigation because the _Tampa Tribune_ won't do anything anytime

HCSO or TPD shoots a black in the back for "pulling a knife on them."

While cycling on Bruce B Downs I was once almost struck by a car going

80 -90 mph. I saw him go over a bridge near Pebble Creek and waited

for his brake lights to go on as he was overtaking another vehicle.

Instead of brake lights I heard a crash. When I passed I yelled at

him to learn how to drive.

Returning from Pasco County I noticed several vehicles and a small

crowd had assembled near the crash site. An older person in the front

group waved me over and asked, "uh, sir, could you help explain what

happened. This gentleman who rear ended me claims he's a sheriff's

deputy . . ."

I answered loud enough for everyone including HCSO to hear: "He

passed me going at least 80, probably 90 mph. I'm an expert witness

on measurements. He came within an inch of killing me. I'll give you

my home number, my work mumber, pager number, I will testify in

court . . ."

For months afterward the cop would blast his horn passing me when I

was cycling but I never stopped riding.

That's just the way I am.

NRA types are frightened and ignorant but at least they do it on their

own nickel.

HCSO gets its taxpayer subsidized depravity on youtube every 6 months.

Your account neglected to mention an additional detail;

The officers in the shoot out were also severely retarded, And

probably crazy.

i very much suspect that if IQ tests were administered to all police

officers, in cities large and small, the curve would peak around 80.

Some are nicer than others, but i've never met a 'bright' cop.

Thank gawd for camcorders and youtube, to bring these police felonies to

people's attention. Every time you see one of these videos broadcast on

the evening news, an angel gets his wings.

Let's see -- ". . . because they get off on the fantasy of using

violence on people, and having it be perfectly legal. . . . " Same as

these NRA loons who want to be able to carry a concealed weapon

everywhere they go.

--I guess you've been drinking again. Comparing abusive police officers

abusing a paraplegic with citizens wanting to protect themselves is a

stretch, even for you. I don't think people with concealed carry permits

long to walk the streets Charles Bronson style. Lay off the hooch, you

dimwit.
