Columbus police accused of pepper-spraying double amputee and ‘stealing’ his prosthetic legs
COLUMBUS, 21-Jun:
Police struck a young man, knocking him to the ground and macing him before stealing his prosthetic legs so he couldn’t escape.
The protesters begged the cops for the legs back, cops refused. Then a group rushed the cops (getting maced) and were able to grab the legs back & get them back to the kid.
Video shows the aftermath, after demonstrators retrieved his legs from police. Calling medic...
watch; this is beyond cruel;

Seattle to end police-free protest zone after shootings 2 hours ago
The zone was taken over by protesters on 8 June
Seattle's mayor has said the city plans to take back a district that is being occupied by armed protesters, after three people were shot at the weekend.
Mayor Jenny Durkan said the violence had become "increasingly difficult" for businesses and residents.
She said the city would work with the demonstrators to end the so-called Capitol Hill Occupied Protest zone.
The city centre zone was taken over by protesters on 8 June after police withdrew following violent clashes.
What did the mayor say?
Mayor Durkan, who has been under growing pressure to crack down on the protest zone, told a news conference on Monday the city police department would return to its precinct "peacefully and in the near future".
"The cumulative impacts of the gatherings and protests and the night-time atmosphere and violence," she said, "has led to increasingly difficult circumstances for our businesses and residents.
"The impacts have increased and the safety has decreased."
Her announcement followed a shooting on Sunday night at the edge of the zone in the Capitol Hill neighbourhood.

Great, then take it back.. But the cruelty of taking a mans legs and not returning them. He laid on the ground injured and protesters got his legs back.. that's what its about, not about a mayor or shutting it down. It was beyond cruel.

I didn't see any cops taking that guy's legs.
Well, Obi.. you had to be there. Once again you were snooozing..
Horse shit. His legs are right there. So the cops unbuckled this kid's legs and left him on the sidewalk? The only good thing about this story is that it shows the depth of desperation on the left.

The man had thrown something at the police man.. then 3 police took him down and in a struggle, his legs were pulled off.. the point is; the policeman was holding his legs and refused to give them back to the man. ((perhaps he was frightened he would run away bwaa!) So, protesters wanted the police to give the man his legs back, he wouldn't so the protesters trying to get the legs back were paper sprayed and hit etc, and that is when the policeman threw the legs down and the protester grabbed them and returned the mans leg..
the point is; the refusal to return his legs.

6:36 AM PT -- 6/23 -- New surveillance footage shows the Columbus PD had nothing to do with the double amputee's prosthetic legs being removed ... it was protesters dragging him away from the scene that caused them to fall off.
The newly released video by the cops also shows the man throwing a sign and a bottle of liquid at police before they began to use their bikes and pepper spray to clear the streets.
A previous version of this story was based on reports that cops chased after him and took his legs before protesters got them back, but that does not appear to be the case.
A violent clash between police and protesters led to a double amputee getting blasted with pepper spray, but video of the incident shows cops did not take his prosthetic legs as well.
Witnesses say the young man was unarmed and non-violent when he got pepper-sprayed by Columbus, OH police officers Sunday, but footage shows he threw items at cops ... like a sign and a bottle of liquid.
The guy reportedly crawled on his hands to get medical help, but the video shows protesters almost immediately gathered around him to drag him away ... which caused him to lose his prosthetic legs. The legs can be seen disconnected on the ground near him in the video.
I have seen that.. its a bunch of blur to me.. Still, his legs should have been given back and a police officer was holding then according to the witnesses. Anyway.. If, he would have been killed he would have been given a funeral like a king, paid for by a millionaire whomever... a gold casket and the whole 9 yards.. heh as big as Elvis's funeral, yuppers.

didn't say cops/they took the legs off.. the cop wouldn't give them back not until the protesters; and then he dropped them..
and no way could I see if or if not the cops grabbed his legs, nope.. 'sides, I really don't care.. bwaa!
