Federal investigators have decided not to prosecute two Metro Transit Police officers filmed in a skirmish with a man in a wheelchair. The Justice Department investigators concluded there was “insufficient evidence” to pursue federal criminal civil rights charges against the officers in the May 19 incident, spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa said. A YouTube video showed Dwight Harris on U Street in Northwest D.C. confronted by two officers, who seem to pull Harris from his motorized wheelchair and push him to the ground. He lay bleeding and handcuffed facedown on the sidewalk. Metro said Harris fell from his wheelchair after he resisted arrest. He was charged with assaulting an officer and drinking in public, but those charges were dropped. Both officers are back on normal duty.- Kytja Weir
