It doesn't ring true. Five hundred people showing up at a government
building to protest is generally considered newsworthy to the mainstream
media.
Arresting "just under" 100 people without disabilities is a logistical
nightmare, not to mention arresting a large number of people with
disabilities.
If there were PWDs there being abusive to law enforcement officers, I hope
they got arrested.

return to my office--this by PWDs. Gov. Taft wasn't even in town. It
wasn't the Rhodes building, it was the Riffe Center.
What I saw was several PWDs in chairs being pretty abusive to the Troopers.
I get pretty disillusioned when I hear truth "bent" to serve a purpose, no
matter how noble that purpose may be. Don't believe "everything" you read
or hear, no matter how reliable you think your your sources may be.
I just got back from there about 15 minutes ago. Saw no PWDs, but plenty of
police guarding the doors.
