Protesters call for action after Dayton officers pull Black paraplegic man from car

Oct. 13—More than 30 protesters gathered at City Hall in Dayton on Wednesday morning in response to the treatment of a paraplegic Black man who Dayton police officers pulled out of his car during a Sept. 30 traffic stop. Protesters outside and inside during the Dayton City Commission meeting...

Jerome Dix, president of Dayton Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #44, said the officers acted lawfully when they pulled Owensby from the vehicle.

"The officers followed the law, their training and departmental policies and procedures," Dix said. "Sometimes the arrest of noncompliant individuals is not pretty, but is a necessary part of law enforcement to maintain public safety, which is one of the fundamental ideologies of our society."

TIL that the only way to apprehend a paraplegic is to drag them from wherever they are to the ground by any means necessary. No need to call for extra medical personnel to assist with transport of the individual, just kick them to the curb.

To be clear here, this happened this way because Owensby challenged their authority and he needed to be shown that compliance is the only option!

If cops aren't allowed to abuse disabled people, very few would take the job.

The problem is that this part: The officers followed the law, their training and departmental policies and procedures," Dix said. Is true. These policies must, absolutely, must be changed or pigs will continue to do these things and continue to get away with it.

Yeah, it really starts there. Top down and department policies will make for clearer guardrails and hopefully accountability follows. But, it feels like we have a long way to get there.

Eagerly awaiting to hear the response from the Indianapolis FOP! They have a chance to earn some credibility here, but their silence in this matter is par for the course.

A new study from the University of Washington concludes that, over nearly 40 years, medical examiners and coroners undercounted killings by U.S. police by more than half. During that time, these officials missed or covered up more than 17,000 police killings between 1980 and 2018.


The study — published in the Lancet, a respected medical journal — raises important questions about the objectivity and reliability of physicians who work as government medical examiners and coroners.

The findings add to an accumulating list of grave concerns about racial bias in forensic pathology and policing, adding evidence that police kill Black people at a rate 3.5 times greater than White people, and that medical officials underreported Black deaths at a higher rate than White deaths.

Although many forensic pathologists carefully follow scientific principles, the frequency of police killings overlooked or incorrectly diagnosed means the problem is systemic.

Yet, because most medical examiners are specialized doctors (although some coroners are not), Americans may assume that they are the gold standard in forensic evidence.


One systemic feature that appears to produce error, however, is that medical examiners long have been close allies of police and prosecutors — frequently partisans, not neutrals.

Many allow the police, but not others, to observe autopsies and to influence critical steps in death investigation. They often talk freely to prosecutors, but only grudgingly — if at all — to defense lawyers.

In a 2011 survey, 22 percent of medical examiners and coroners reported pressure from government officials to change the cause or manner of death on a certificate……

From same article

….Another recent study in the Journal of Forensic Sciences found that, in actual case work, pathologists who examined 10 years of children’s death certificates in Nevada were much more likely to declare a child’s death a homicide rather than an accident when the child was Black.

Corroborating these findings, the researchers presented pathologists with a hypothetical postmortem examination of a young child.

The pathologists were many times more likely to find the child’s death to be a homicide than an accident, based on identical medical evidence, if told that the child was Black and the caretaker was the mother’s boyfriend than when told that the child was White and the caretaker was the child’s grandmother.


Responding to the study, vocal forensic pathologists sought to bury the research and the researchers. They first demanded that the journal retract the peer-reviewed article, then asked the journal’s publisher to censor it, and finally filed ethics complaints against the forensic pathologists and neuroscientist who co-authored the article.

The efforts failed, but the effect was chilling……
