Did any one see the article in the Daily Mirror?
Policing at its worst
Police officers forced a disabled boy of 11 years to get off his electric scooter and walk!
This was to prove if he was disabled or not.
The boy who suffers from a serious disability was forced to walk a few feet
So the police officers could judge if he was really disabled.
I hope the officers lose there jobs over this disgusting action.

However, they apologised for any upset caused to Keiron, and took him for a ride in a police car...

:lol:

Next thing they'll be saying he was "helping them with their enquiries!"

Ah, the Daily Mirror. One of the benefits of having a free press.

Not as much a benefit as the Daily Mail though...

In truth they probably offered him the ride in the panda car if he'd withdraw his complaint, and gave the officer considered a private slap on the wrist.
