Body camera footage shows the interaction between Dayton police officers and a paraplegic man who would not exit his vehicle during a traffic stop and was yanked from the car and onto the road.
Clifford Owensby, the man pulled from his vehicle during a traffic stop Thursday, told the Dayton Daily News Monday afternoon that he felt helpless as officers put him on the ground, handcuffed him and then placed him into the back of a cruiser. The incident took place in the 1200 block of West Grand Avenue, according to a report.
Owensby, who said he does not have use of his legs, said he was injured during the incident, having sustained scrapes from the pavement and is still in pain. He also said that a previous back injury was reinjured.
I feel like they dont even respect me as a citizen, Owensby said, adding that the way he felt treated made him feel low.

The drug war is a total waste and stupid.
These officers should be fired, they don't have the basic common decency to be able to do their jobs.

(58,785 posts)The Professional Standards Bureau will find out if the officers scrupulously followed procedure in removing him, seemingly all on video.
It is around this time that the officers grab Owensby and remove him from the vehicle and onto the road. Owensby screams for help and asks that people in the area record the interaction.
