Title: U.K. cops assault disabled man, pulling him from his wheelchair

Nuff respect to Jody McIntyre who acquits himself admirably in the face of a BBC interviewer who seems to have studied under Josef Goebbels - I'm sure the complaints are flooding in already and I really hope this scumbag loses his job over this so-called "interview":

Tahmeena Bax was knocked unconscious by police and denied medical attention for two hours. When police medics finally attended, they took the opportunity to make fun of her religion and political views, saying that taking off her hijab was like "unwrapping a pass-the-parcel" and that she should "stop reading the Guardian and start reading the Daily Mail":

And lastly... something that shocked even me:
