It’s the Merced California Police vs. George Williams. Was he a threat despite being sans weapon? Were the police out of line?

If you watch <A href="http://www.mcclatchydc.com/100/story/75729.html">this video</A> you’ll see he was out of his wheelchair and plopped on the pavement outside his apartment when the incident occurred. Did I mention he has <A href="http://www.amputeeresource.org/">no legs</A>? And probably more important to note, no prosthetics either? Anyways, check out the video of him recounting his experience and see what you think.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/2194BEDF-17BF-4F9D-A9DD-E4B79D00ACB5/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
