In a move worthy of Perry Mason, a Hillsborough County sheriff's deputy "proved" a suspect was faking it by dramatically dumping him from his wheelchair.
The sad reality is that the suspect broke his neck 14 years ago, and is a genuine quadriplegic.
Bonus: it was all caught on video.
Three deputies have been suspended without pay, and the investigation is ongoing.

That's just disgusting! They deserve all the publicity this can get. Yes, people make mistakes but this one is way beyond understandable.
Even if they'd been right in thinking he was faking it, they would've been wrong in dumping him out of the wheelchair.
Artificial intelligence will never replace natural stupidity.
