You read this and have to say “Dear God, what were they thinking? Attacking a man in a wheelchair? Are they brutes?

Of course, it seems the fact are not quite as the headline insinuates.

But police had a different version of events. The two officers said that after confronting the brothers outside the hotel, Pedro Brito punched Martinez in the face several times. Martinez said he punched back, throwing Pedro to the ground and handcuffing him with Byars’ help.While Martinez and Byars were arresting Pedro, his brother Carlos “rode his wheelchair toward the officers” and “lunged forward onto Sergeant Martinez’s back and grabbed his face,” the officers say. A security guard testified that Carlos, who is paralyzed from the waist down, somehow “hurled himself onto Sergeant Martinez’s back.”Circuit Judge Norma Lindsey ultimately found that the city had a right to claim Stand Your Ground and that the officers were justified in their use of force.

So the headline is accurate, but untrue. Now, would you go as far as saying they are outright lying?
