Vancouver, BC, Canada Policeman Poses As Disabled Wheelchair User, Inspired



Mr Horsley told all the people who approached him - including these two women - that he could not count. Instead, he let them take money from his hand.

Sgt. Horsley's experiences differ from mine. Maybe it is the difference between Canada and the United States. Over the past 45 years criminals, police employees, and FBI employees tormented, slandered, insulted, humiliated, ridiculed, provoked and harassed me without stop. Decent people and professionals employed in the human services industrial complex (MA State Rep. Marie Parente's term) stood by and watched.   

[From article]
An undercover police officer has been left stunned at the generosity of passers-by after he posed as a disabled man.
Sergeant Mark Horsley pretended to be paralysed as part of a covert investigation launched in response to two knifepoint robberies involving people in wheelchairs in Vancouver, Canada.
He secretly filmed the interactions he had with people, including those who asked him for change and others who just stopped to chat.

'The caring and compassion expressed to me in my undercover role was inspiring. This community has soul.'
Mr Horsley also paid a stark warning to robbers who he said might be deliberately choosing to target the vulnerable.
'Victimizing the vulnerable is far beneath the people,' he added.
'For the very rare and despicable person who is willing to victimize the vulnerable people you should know the police are watching but more importantly the people are watching.'
