Police Dump Paralyzed Man Out of ...
A deputy at the Orient Road Jail in Hillsborough County Florida was caught on ...tape dumping a quadriplegic man out of his wheelchair.Brian Sterner broke his neck 14 years ago, and is paralyzed from the chest down. Last month, he was brought to the jail on a traffic violation. Despite being paralyzed, Sterner can still operate a vehicle. Sterner says a female deputy didnt believe he was quadriplegic. The deputy proceeds to walk behind the hospital-grade wheelchair, grab the handles and dumped Sterner straight forward out and on to the floor. Sterner says he tried to roll as he was going down but he felt like he might have been severely injured. Deputies frisked him while he was on the ground, and then tried to jerk him back up into his chair. Sterner tried to tell deputies the best way to put him back in the chair, but they showed little regard for his well-being. Because he has no sensation from the chest down, Sterner didnt know that his ribs were actually broken. The Hillsborough County Sheriffs Department had no idea about the incident until a reporter from a Tampa TV Station showed them their own video footage. According to jail officials, no written report was issued because as they say there was no problem with no cause a problem to any inmate in a wheelchair. An investigation is currently underway. "Its incredibly degrading," Sterner says, "Its an example of how poorly trained the Hillborough County Sheriffs Office is."

Deputy should be fired and jailed for aggravated assault, along with being slapped with a civil suit for this transgression. But, would the reporter please get the facts straight? This guy is a PARAPLEGIC, not a QUADRIPLEGIC. Quads CANNOT MOVE ANYTHING BELOW THE NECK. Paraplegics only lose use of their legs.

Some of you people are idiots. Who cares about race. Someone was HURT by the people who are supposed to protect us. She should be fired and then sued. There are better ways to find out if someone is paralyzed.

Brian clearly was abused by the Deputy. She deserves to be fired; and, Brian has a clear liable suit. The other Deputy walking passed smiling deserves at the very least a letter of discipline. He should have assisted getting Brian back into his wheelchair.
