The problem they are going to have is that he is NOT paraplegic and it was obvious to anybody that knows what to look for. Like, handicap plates, sticker, or tag. None. Wheel chair.. None. Handicap driver's license.. Nope. Driving equipment on the steering wheel for a paraplegic..None. inability to move his legs... Nope, he moved them at the stop while in the car, without his hands. Plus, he was driving with his legs and feet. Long and short of it, he Lied. He is Not paraplegic. That means, he refused to comply. He can walk. Being drug out was his choice. They didnt drop him on his face, or abuse him. They took him out of the car. He could have stood up. He chose not to and he chose not to comply. They video shows him moving his legs in the car. Plus, he can walk. His attorney let that out in his press conference. He may have a harder time with the "lawsuit" that people think. The lie alone.. claiming to be paraplegic, when he is not, may be all it takes for him to lose.

That's the damndest shit I ever heard from a judge!!! How she gonna ask him about his prior convictions which had nothing to do with the case in hand ! And second of all she said I guess you learned your lesson about window tint ! So dark tint on a traffic stop is reason enough for a cop to snatch a paralyzed person from a car by their hair and drag them down a street ? WOW!!!! Not surprised the whole damn system is a joke and that judge after seeing that video and talking to that man like that needs to be fired. If that was a white man or a dog being treated like that and drag down the street those cop's would have been in jail that day ! Sad that we as black people are not seen as human anywhere on this planet. Why should we abide by any laws when the system doesn't work for us ?

[@vvanderer]

That's really silly comment. When sentencing the prior history of the accused with similar offences is clearly relevant. You get less punishment for first offences than if you are a habitual offender so the fact that the guy had tinted window o fences previously was relevant and it was correct for the judge to consider. I can see from the proceedings that there was a lot going on that did not come in to play and the judge was right not to let it come into play because all she was deciding was the window tinting and the child restraint. The defendant will certainly have his day in court what I expect is an accusation of brutality, and it looks as if he might have a good case. His lawyer was a crafty old man and really knew this stuff. I would love to see him working on a jury. The defence lawyer was gathering material for the lawsuit. There was clearly no defence to the charges.
