Dustin Ferreira's $400,000 settlement with the city of Portland reflects the widespread impact of police misconduct during racial justice protests, highlighting systemic issues within law enforcement.
"The night of September 2020 changed my life forever... my wheelchair was kicked by a police sergeant who also shoved me from behind," Ferreira recounts. This moment marked a significant turning point in his life.
Footage shows how the sergeant's use of force lifted Ferreira from his chair, a shocking display of police aggression against a person with disabilities.
"After that, Officer Wheeler told Mr. Ferreira to go f**k himself," illustrating the disrespect and dehumanization experienced by individuals during protests.
