"Deputy Devil" is a very appropriate nickname for the idiot that dumped the man from his wheelchair. I am glad the Sheriff is not one to tolerate such disgraceful conduct toward the disabled. I agree that the officer who did this should be summarily fired and charged with criminal assault. That fat deputy who smirked into the camera should also be canned as well (in both senses). The fact that no one had the guts or compassion to help the man back into his chair immediately raises questions in my mind about the quality of the people running the jail.

If a deliberate atrocious act of hate such as this can be caught on camera, what must occur that the public will never see? Only now are former detainees and prisoners divulging the heneous behavior of guards and authorities.

This horror is something out of a Steinbeck novel. The entire Hillsborough penal system must be purged of these satanic employees.

I cant beleive this officer could ever think she would be cleared of these actions, Its right there on tape, maybe she needs a mental evaluation as well as being fired and prosecuted. she should admit she was wrong, say she is sorry and take her punishment like the tuff guy she wants to be.

Dear God, did you have to bring the devil into this?

I'll tell you what, how about all you arm-chair Judges spend just one week dealing with fowl mouth, disrespectful, and down right nasty perps ALL DAY LONG, then come back with your heartless, "hang her by the neck" comments. She probably took a gamble thinking that the guy wasn't really paralyzed-- a gamble that lost her her job and may cost her her freedom. In my opinion, it was a $1000 response to a $1 situation. No doubt she snapped and this guy paid the price for her 22 years of pent-up abuse.

chaplain333 we all deal with people everyday that are obnoxious but we do so with out violence she had training and she knew the rules. maybe if she was that outraged with everything she should have worked in a job where she didnt deal with the public.and when you say $1 situation you sound like your related to her. maybe you both need counceling.

Have you read the Deputy's resignation letter? How can she lay blame on the man she dumped from the chair? For some reason she feels the need to be on the defense, if she was right in what she did, I don't feel she would be so defensive.

"Hang her by the neck comments"? She probably took a gamble? You never gamble with a person's life or disability. A person in her position knows better than to play guessing games.

K1662, I've heard many people bring up the race issue, naming Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

This video is really disturbing. Something else that really bothers me is that I've not heard anything from Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton on this incident. I wonder if the tables were turned and an african american was being dumped from a wheel chair by a white deputy would they have made a trip to Tampa to represent an african american. So I ask what does the ACLU represent? American Civil Liberty Union or African American Civil Liberty Union????
