police being bullies? surely you jest as they only live to make us safe will be how some would respond. here in france during the yellow vest protests now in something like sixteen or so weeks of it, a man in a wheel chair is pepper sprayed in his face;


Toulouse, France — A disabled French man in a wheelchair, who was participating in Saturday’s Yellow Vest protest in Toulouse, France, proved the necessity of the protest after he was sprayed in the face at point blank range with pepper spray. The entire disturbing scene was captured on video.
The Yellow Vest protests in France have entered their 16th week as the populist movement continues to sweep the country and other parts of the globe. The protests have not been short on violence as police have been seen savagely beating single protesters as well as protesters fighting police.
According to the person who uploaded the video, Marie Pnose, the man in the wheelchair was interacting with police because they had taken his protective eye wear. As you can see in the video, the officer is holding a set of goggles.
The video shows the man arguing with the officer, who appears not to want to give him back his goggles. As the man in the wheelchair followed the officer, the officer—who could’ve simply stepped up on the curb—pulled out his riot control pepper spray and doused the man in the face.
The man did not appear to be attacking the officer in anyway and merely just pursuing him to get back his goggles. Despite posing no threat, however, he was dealt punishment in the form of a chemical weapon. This prompted a bystander to intervene and question the officer’s tactics. The video then ends.
The video was uploaded Saturday by Pnose with the following caption, (translated from French to English.).............https://thefreethoughtproject.com/yellow-vests-french-police-pepper-spray-wheelchair/
