JERUSALEM - Over in Israel, they know what to do with the local malcontents.  And they don’t let a little thing like being handicapped get in the way of justice, either. Hell, one time, they shot a missile from a helicopter at a guy in a wheelchair - now that’s what I call gettin’ the job done.

This week, those uppity handicapped are at it again, and it took Israeli cops to bravely face ‘em down

Alleging police brutality by officers on the scene, and lamenting a lack of much-needed aid from the state, a dozen wheelchair-bound citizens continued their protest in the sweltering heat outside the Welfare Ministry in Jerusalem on Sunday, telling reporters they will not leave until their demand for help is answered.

But the most troubling complaints from protesters were that police officers had abused them physically, throwing them out of their wheelchairs and preventing them from using the bathroom.

A man with fresh gashes on his head told The Jerusalem Post he was hurt when he fell out of his wheelchair as police tried to force him from the entrance to the Welfare Ministry on Saturday night.

“We were originally near the entrance,” another man said, “and after Shabbat, a decision was made by the police to clear us out. About 40 of them came up, not in the blue uniforms, but in the black ones [of the Yasam elite anti-terror unit], as if we were Hamas, and they just started lifting us up and tossed us out into the street. People were hurt. We asked them to stop, but they kept going. It’s forbidden to touch someone in a wheelchair at all - who knows what kind of problems they may be suffering from.”
