The video, which was posted on Twitter, shows Briere pushing the wheelchair down a flight of stairs before laughing and walking away.

In response to the incident, Mercyhurst University issued a statement condemning Briere's behavior and announcing his removal from the hockey team. The statement reads, "We are aware of the incident involving Carson Briere and are taking this matter very seriously. His actions do not reflect the values of Mercyhurst University or our hockey program, and as a result, he has been removed from the team."

Briere has since issued an apology on his Instagram account, saying, "I want to apologize for my actions over the weekend. What I did was completely unacceptable and I take full responsibility for my actions. I understand the severity of what I did and the impact it has had on others. I am deeply sorry for my actions and the pain and hurt that I have caused."

The incident has sparked a conversation about ableism and the mistreatment of people with disabilities. Many people have pointed out that Briere's actions were not only cruel and disrespectful but also illegal. In many jurisdictions, it is a criminal offense to willfully cause harm to a person with a disability.

It remains to be seen what further consequences Briere may face as a result of his actions. Some have called for him to face criminal charges, while others have called for him to be expelled from Mercyhurst University altogether. Regardless of the outcome, the incident serves as a reminder that actions have consequences and that the mistreatment of people with disabilities will not be tolerated.
