manhandles
Treats with force
Manhandles means to handle roughly or with physical force.
Someone might manhandle a piece of furniture while moving it, or security guards might manhandle an unruly patron: The bouncers manhandled him out the door.
The word often implies excessive or unnecessary roughness.
Despite the "man" in the word, it applies regardless of who's doing the handling.
