Disabled demand help

PHOTO (by Michael A. Schwarz/Staff): Man in a motorized wheelchair, Danny Saenz, holding a drink in one hand grabs the door of a suburban car and holds it slightly open while the driver, taken aback, looks at him. A policeman holds the man's other arm and tries to pull him away from the car. Behind them protesters with signs are visible, and behind them a small office building with tall pine trees in the very back.
Caption reads: Danny Saenz, protesting Tuesday with American Disabled for Attendant Programs Today, tries to stop Fred Watson, an official of the Georgia Health Care Association, from leaving his office.

PHOTO (by Michael A. Schwarz/Staff): Two policemen hold a disabled man (Randy Horton) up by his arms at about their waist height. His legs extend out to the side and he holds his arms out in front of him. One of the policemen is doing most of the work, struggling to hold him back, while the other looks on with a neutral expression and simply holds his other arm. A couple of cars in the background indicate they are in a parking lot.

PHOTO (by Michael A. Schwarz/Staff): A small woman holding a sign "Honk if you support us" in one hand and her other arm raised, sits a top the suburban. The car is surrounded by protesters in wheelchairs, two are up against the back, blocking it, three others have signs and most appear to be chanting. Their signs read "Free Our People" (on a huge placard) and "We want Independent Living Now"
Caption reads: Protesters surround Mr. Watson's van (above) before police move in (left). Article, Page D2.
