A policeman’s knee was injured while trying to arrest someone and he’s now not fit for active service. His biggest complaint about this? Not the pain he must be in, not the fact he can no longer do things he wants. No, his biggest complaint is "The officer said the burden he believes he is placing on others was the equivalent of ”living a death sentence.”

We live in such a sick capitalist society that if you’re injured at work and can no longer do everything you used to, your biggest worry is that you’re now a burden on society. And no wonder, since society does treat the disabled as a burden.
