The city of Pasadena has been ordered to pay $80,000 to a quadriplegic man. Cornell Greathouse sued because four policemen allegedly pulled him out of wheelchair and hung him over a 4-foot concrete wall in order to search him.

On Wednesday of this week the jury decided that the police officers were not culpable but they ordered that the City of Pasadena must pay $78,939.12 for failing to train officers on how to deal with a quadriplegic.

Why the guy was being searched isn't explained - maybe they thought he was going to pull a gun on them?
