First You Grab their Crutches


  While the Gasparilla Fim Festival is going on downtown, The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Department is continuing its own video festival featuring fifty ways to beat up the disabled.
The problem with the latest video of an innmate in a wheelchair being dumped on the floor of a holding cell, is that it may not tell the whole story. Videos seldom do. On the other hand that might be good news for the Sheriff’s Department, which is beginning to look like the East coast distributor for YouTube.
It may very well be that the guy was out of control. There is little doubt the officers in charge were either out of control or had no idea how to deal with the situation.

Steve…

I know that you love Ruskin as much as I do, but the next time you find yourself on the sidewalk between downtown Apollo Beach and downtown Ruskin, stop in at the Ruskin V.F.W. 6287. Say “thank you” to the first person you meet and offer to buy them a beer. I expect that you will quickly learn there is something of note here, deserving of sidewalks.
