The best part is that I can hear in my head exactly how he said it.
The worst part is that there is not a thing wrong with what he said.

This happened to a guy here in Olympia as well. His name is Scott. He was dumpstering down town. The cops came up on him and told him to stop and started asking him questions. Scott cannot speak and so must use either sign language (which the cop couldn’t understand) or writing on a note pad (which the cop grabbed out of his hand thinking he was going to disrespect him by communicating that way). He called in back up and beat the shit out of Scott.
In related news, as most people know, a deaf Native wood carver was shot to death last summer in Seattle. He couldn’t hear the cop tell him to drop the ‘weapon’ and thought it a valid response to shoot him.
In London during the education demonstrations/riots this past winter, the LPD dragged an activist with cerebral palsy out of his wheel chair and beat him.. not just once during the coarse of the demonstration but twice.
these are 4 examples of police brutality towards those impaired. There are hundreds of other cases of this, i’m sure. THis really needs to be brought to light more.
^^^^All of this. There are so many of these cases and it’s enraging and heartbreaking.
I don’t want to even know.
