An "Apparent Physical Encounter"

From the Huffington Post, oddly enough...



The cop says the guy in the wheelchair "assaulted a police officer." Seriously. By bleeding on him, apparently.

The Washington Post describes it as "an apparent physical encounter" Seriously. Because the WashPo writer doesn't want to commit himself as to whether the encounter was physical or philosophical, apparently.

Money quote:

Metro issued a statement Sunday saying that the man, whom police have not identified, had resisted arrest, "which resulted in him falling out of his wheelchair."

Because when two beefy cops heave you out of your chair and land on you on the pavement, it will often result in your falling out of the chair.

I was about to end with something like "unbelievable." Except it's not.
