There's been so many fucked up cases of police brutality that came to light over the last month but as someone on the spectrum this one's affected me the most. Apparently one of the "suspicious behaviors" that prompted the 911 call in the first place was him flailing his arms - a common form of stimming for people on the spectrum that I do myself - and that combined with him being an "introvert" leads me to believe he was autistic as well. Obviously the racial dynamic should be acknowledged here, but I hope people also begin to address police brutality against the disabled in light of this story. Police are just not qualified enough to deal with people properly. They are shit at the majority of their job. --- "Context Matters" ... Copied to Clipboard! |
