"A Tampa cop was fired over bodycam of him dragging a handcuffed woman to jail. She was detained for allegedly sleeping outside a health center.

Gregory Damon is heard threatening to "drag you out of this car" and calling her fat.

Police say they banned dragging people in 2013."

If state governors have enough cash on hand that they can pay to transport immigrants halfway across the country as a political stunt, they can damn well pony up in the middle of an airline "meltdown" and get stranded Americans home.
