Toulouse: Disabled, Aurélien loses his temper against incivility
Victim of glass bone disease, Aurélien experiences the difficulties of getting around in a wheelchair on a daily basis. In the street as at the Toulouse central police station where he was poorly received.
“I am told to call the municipal police but after 6.30 pm, no one answers. So I call the national police but, obviously, I fuck them! »Aurélien railed last night in the streets of Tournefeuille. “This is the third badly parked car, including two on a pedestrian crossing. Me in my chair, I do not pass, “reproaches this 41-year-old bank employee.
A former carpenter, he had to retrain “when I spend more time on sick leave than at work”. Person “in a situation of handicap” because of the disease of the glass bones, obliged to move in a wheelchair, he has been accompanied since the spring by Peoc’h, a dog “who helps me on a daily basis, as if for a blind man. “
An “indispensable” companion but poorly received at the Toulouse central police station last Friday. “I had an appointment with a psychologist following an assault. Already the access ramp is neither marked nor up to standards. And at the reception, they did not want to let me return with my dog, ”says Aurélien indignantly.
“Just live normally”
He was finally received, along with Peoc’h. “He was early. The police officer asked him to wait. There is a misunderstanding, ”specifies the communication from the Toulouse national police. And Aurélien’s virulence did not go unnoticed at the police station.
“I was annoyed, admits the person concerned. Someone came during my date to find out about my intentions. It was more of a threat than of conciliation. I am a person with a disability. I just want to live normally, like any other citizen. Being poorly received at the police station or not being able to sit in a wheelchair in the street, that exasperates me. Really, am I wrong? “
