‘I'm a paraplegic’: Police drag disabled man from car during traffic stop

Clifford Owensby, a paraplegic man, was forcibly pulled from his car at a traffic stop in Ohio after he was pulled over for his windows being tinted beyond state regulations.

The 39-year-old Owensby repeatedly informed officers that he couldn’t get out of the car himself as he was disabled – and required help to get in – but they insisted on taking him out of the vehicle anyway.

He told WHIO last Monday that: “I feel like they need to train the officers to deal with disabled people in a more efficient manner”.
