Washington, DC Police Somehow Needed Three Officers to Restrain a Homeless Man With No Legs, ‘Why the Hell is There a Bag Over His Head’

If you’ve been following the news closely, you’ve probably heard about President Trump’s crackdown in Washington, DC. He deployed the National Guard after he says the city has been “overtaken over by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals.” One of his promises is “getting rid of the slums,” by targeting the homeless. Because why fix the problem when he can sweep them under the rug? And Washington, DC is already starting, after a video surfaced of a homeless man being restrained by no less than three police officers.

A man who goes by Dirty Knucklez on TikTok shared a video captioned, “What they’re really doing to the homeless in DC!” You see Knucklez paused outside a coffee shop. Off to the side, you see three police officers surrounding a man in a wheelchair. And, most notably, the homeless man is a double amputee and has a bag over his head. It looks like something out of a dystopian horror film.

An EMT walks over to the group of police officers and then more authorities pull up. The men wait around, smiling and talking; meanwhile, the homeless man is just sitting there. At the end of the video, one of the police officers says, “Have a good day, Mr. Knucklez,” as he recognizes the TikToker. That’s not threatening at all (I say, with sarcasm).

“That many officers for one person that’s in a wheelchair and no legs. This speaks volumes,” said one commenter. Another asked, “Why the hell is there a bag over his head!!!?!” Knucklez replied, “Cuz he was trying to spit on the pigs.”

Another commenter desperately reminded us, “German citizens didn’t know what was happening in the ‘30s. History will damn us. We will never be able to say we didn’t know.” And that’s a good point. The Nazis were hellbent on removing what they deemed ‘undesirable.’

Knucklez video is definitely distrubing, but it raises a question: What plan does President Trump truly have or is this another way to make homeless people disappear? He did, after all, say he wants to get “rid of the people from underpasses and public spaces from all over the city.” So, rather than solve the problem, he wants to shove them somewhere else?
