A Dayton, Ohio, police internal investigation of a traffic stop where officers pulled a paraplegic driver out of a car by his hair and arms cleared the officers of the most serious allegations against them.
The September 30 traffic stop was captured on police body-worn camera footage and released by Dayton city officials about a week after the incident, and subsequently went viral. The video shows one of two officers grabbing the driver, Clifford Owensby, by his dreadlocks while Owensby yelled,"I'm a paraplegic bro!" Owensby filed a complaint with the Professional Standards Bureau of the Dayton Police Department .
The department's review of the stop found that officers had cause enough to stop the car for its window tint and were within law and policy in ordering Owensby out of the vehicle. FBI may have to shut down federal use-of-force database due to low participation from law enforcementOwensby told officers he couldn't get out of the car because he is paraplegic. The officers offered to help him out,"as someone else assisted you in getting in the vehicle," according to the report.
