[Blindtlk] FW: Washington DC man in wheelchair getsbeatenupbyofficers

[Chris Nusbaum]

Here's an example.  Many people on this list have (in different 
threads) referenced the incident of the person being beaten up by 
a janitor at a sheltered workshop for being a Federationist.  
Couldn't this be kind of like this guy in a wheelchair, but with 
officers? As NFB members, we advocate for the rights of the 
blind, but also of all disabilities, and minorities for that 
matter.  This was wrong and a violation of rights, and the 
prejudice could also extend to blind people.  That's the 
importance of NFB!

Well cant something like this raise a certain awareness? You know 
what can happen to a guy in a wheelchair could happen to you.  
Folks like us are all vulnerable and we need to stand up to 
tyrany.
