There is no longer any need to visit Dajjal Bush's Abu Ghraib to see torture anymore.
Any street in Peterborough will do.At that moment, I thought he was going to do more damage and leave me completely paralysed. I had this dog barking in my ear, a policeman kneeling

THIS is the shocking moment a paralysed man was dragged from a car by police after a minor crash.
Officers ignored repeated pleas from terrified Sharaz Mahmood and handcuffed him face down on the road.
The wheelchair-bound 25-year-old, paralysed in a 2001 smash, was surrounded by police dogs as his distraught friends tried to tell officers he was disabled.
But moments later they lifted him up by his arms and pulled him into a police van, his legs dragging behind him. The incident was captured on a takeaway's CCTV camera.
Sharaz, who plans to sue police over the incident and wants the officer involved charged with assault, said: "They shouldn't treat anybody like that, let alone someone disabled. They can't get away with it.
"I repeatedly told them I was paralysed but they didn't listen.
"An officer yanked open the door, put me in a headlock and dragged me out of the car.
"The cop got me on my front and knelt on my back, in the exact place where my spinal column was damaged.
" in my back and I was in agony. I was thrown into the van and was lying on the floor. The cops kept telling me to get up on to the seat but I couldn't."
Sharaz's ordeal began when police arrived after the crash in Peterborough, Cambs, on Saturday. He was a passenger in a car that hit another. The driver ran off but was later arrested on suspicion of being over the limit.
Sharaz told officers his wheelchair was in the boot of the car but he claims they just threw it in the back of the van with him.
He was taken to hospital before being locked up in a cell for 10 hours.
He said: "They took me out of the cell at lunchtime and said they were just going to give me a caution for abusive behaviour.
"I've got witnesses and plan to sue the police." Sharaz accepted the caution.
His solicitor Nasser Khalil added: "We are planning on suing and want the officer identified and charged."
A witness filmed the scene on a mobile phone video which has been seen by the Mirror. Police claim Sharaz and his friends were abusive and threatening.
A spokesman for Cambridgeshire Police said: "A complaint has been lodged with the force and is being investigated.
"It has also been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
"As such, it would be inappropriate to comment further."
