Jody McIntyre (London, England) is a 20-year-old journalist with cerebral palsy. He participated in the student fee protests held in Central London in December 2010. During the protest, a police officer pulled him out of his wheelchair, dragged him onto the pavement, and beat him with the baton. McIntyre was unarmed. The Scotland Yard investigated the incident and deemed the actions of the officer “justifiable.”
