N.J. Cops Toss Woman from Wheelchair, Mace a Crowded Bus and Storm It Like Some Cave in Tora Bora

Thanks to http://www.crashof83.com/ for the heads up on this story. Check out this killer site, listed at the bottom of my blog as one of the select links for fighting the New World Order.

Trenton police savaged a passenger bus yesterday afternoon, arresting two people, while dispersing mace, and throwing a woman from her wheelchair.

According to The Trentonian, the mayhem began at 1:45 p.m. when a 55-year-old woman allegedly assaulted a bus driver after a verbal spat turned physical.

Trenton Police Captain Joe Juniak said the wheelchair-bound Beverly Garrett “proceeded to aggressively verbally abuse the driver with foul and threatening language.” And when the driver tried to walk away from her, Juniak said, Garrett “stood up out of her wheelchair and physically assaulted the driver by striking him about the head and body with closed fists.”

Uh, yeah. This smacks very similar to earlier this year when officers threw a paraplegic from his chair after asking him numerous times to "get up."

In addition to the wheelchair aspect of this story, cops also dispersed mace into the bus, and arrested a man for refusing to hand over a cell phone that he used to record the entire event.

“This gentleman did absolutely nothing wrong, except take a picture with his personal cell phone, which is not a crime,” said one witness. “The cops cannot request that I give you my phone.”

Despite having been treated quite harshly by the courts in New Jersey for a misdemeanor offense and conviction, I will be the first to admit that the police in this state are generally very fair and in complete contrast to what I read from around the country. This, obviously, is not one of those times. Please circulate this to the folks in your neck of the woods as just another example of the police gone awry.

And of course, there is a side story. The Trentonian describes it as follows:

"Coincidentally, the two people arrested in each part of this story have tangential relationships to the recent legal wranglings regarding the city’s police directors. The woman on the bus was arrested during a meeting at which the future of the old director was discussed, and the arrested onlooker’s father is a plaintiff in the lawsuit seeking the ouster of the current cop boss."

Dare you question our officials, our enforcers. How quickly these pigs are trained to forget they serve us - not the other way around.
