LaQuan McDonald in Chicago! It took a year for them to release the video of them murdering him!

When will they understand that militarised police do not increase safety they reuce it? Or is that the inention REDUCTION OF POPULATION MENTAL HEALTH WORKERS JUSTICE EQUITY and life for all

".... people of color." Funny how that is.

I've been suffering from the effects of a series of brain injuries. An officer pulled me over because my vehicle's inspection expired. When he asked for my dl, I also handed him a card explaining my situation, he immediately began doing the kind of things that could set me off into an angry response

🤬

The Land of the Free....

I dont’t hate police. They aren’t trained in services though.

I’m a bit neurospicy. Being a cute girl used to act in my favor, though I never really knew how to use it. Ben had this beautiful girlfriend and he never knew what he had. He just loved me. ф гг

The destruction of Democracy is happening worldwide. We now have kings in all the most powerful countries: Russia, China, India, and the U.S. as well as many other countries. www.newser.com/story/389723...

And default remedy for mental illness?

This is our governments answer to not providing mental healthcare, not since Republicans decided to close all the mental health institutions decades ago to cut taxes for the wealthy (seem familiar)? The consequences are rampant homelessness which republicans then use as a cudgel to bash Dems.

I agree that this is one part of the solution, and such an important cause for folks to get involved with on the local level (including you, if you aren't already)

And police stupidly are not trained/educated to deal with that.😒😒

Supposedly, if you’re too smart, you can’t be a policeman. This precludes having cops who can be trained to recognize mitigating mental health issues when responding to a disturbance, often resulting in tragedy.

Being American can be downright dangerous when interacting with domestic terrorist. Bad shit runs downhill and those least able to defend themselves get the worst of our bad decisions and lack of responsibility.

in USA-hole, acab

In most cases the "law" escalation is phenomenal. They have little or no training in this area.

Trained to kill & lie about it when it gets serious. Twice as much time needs to be spent on de-escallation training.

The police profession in general attracts dim thugs and bullies who crave authority but are not smart enough to achieve it by any other means.

Death by cop!

To protect and serve changed to enforce. Tells a lot about the change in this country. They know it’s not in any way free

ditto

Same

How do we know that the officers involved may also be neurodivergent without proper training

I can certainly understand how this could happen.

I experienced this in March 2026. I’m 67 have never been arrested. Had a seizure

I had a lawyer whose son was a police officer and neurodivergent. Scary.

This is why the Blue Envelope program (or similar programs) needs to be pushed - both to the public and the officers that serve it.

barbaric

This is fairly well known and infuriating that nothing has changed

This is 💯 intentional RFK JR #EUGENICS Aktion T4 1930s Germany Killing off the #undesirables #GOPDeathCult Irrefutable

Horrifying.

And silence comes from Group 1.

It’s gonna be even worse with social anxiety.

The school systems focusing on validation of everyone's feelings and "truth" rather than teaching consequences has created a generation of over sensitive babies who can't deal with the harsh realities of being an adult. You all created this monster.

Acab

I suspect that cities prefer police to kill disabled people because it’s a lot cheaper and more convenient than placing them in a mental health facility. Government always strives to save money and policies are structured accordingly. abc7.com/post/anaheim...

COPS DON'T CARE THEY CAN MURDER CITIZENS FOR NO REASON. JUST LOOK AT ICE.

Arm the disabled.

The other half are innocent minorities.

The rate is even higher for those citizens executed by the US state.

That's what happens when u put a bunch of ignorant, immature & hate-filled men into the wrong job. Too many men make HORRIBLE cops! Many good ones too but they're usually older.

Legal violence (police, armies, guards) has historically had as its main mission to keep the common people, the workers, the dispossessed away from the aristocracy, from the slave-owning elites who siphon off wealth for their sole benefit!

Some of us do want to defund the police, for such cases like this bring mental health services INSTEAD OF police, not alongside them. Police should not be used when what’s needed is a crisis intervention for disabled folks or healthcare

Cops aren’t around for our safety. They go in with the expectation they will get to commit violence and are always looking for a reason. The contact enough ppl to be able to recognize differences and know how to adjust & communicate effectively. They choose not too. ACAB.

Police forces need to be properly…

My God!

This is arguably a violation of medical license rules - emergency services are using police to deal with medical conditions that deserve expert intervention instead. Everyone knows the real reason why American’t does this - part of the Anglofascist eugenics agenda.

Trump will be ok with disabled people being killed. Just like Hitler.

😱😱😡

A clear connection to immunity.

Pls see Canada's Nova Scotia Report on Mass Shooting - multi-volume reccs how to improve policing. Mostly- follow Finland: 3 yr college/ uni degree, starts w/ethics, human rights & recognizing diversity - physical/ weapon training as "last recourse/avoid" masscasualtycommission.ca/final-report/

I suppose this will happen when you arm barely trained people. In Germany, their police are armed but take between 2.5 and 4 years to be trained.

Agencies of authority should teach and learn about this: e.g Aliya Rahman in Minneapolis last winter, but many more. With a leader who seeks points by mocking the disabled, it's hard for kids to get it right. Teach your children well.

I’m a special ed teacher. My colleagues have no training in how to teach/how to analyze teaching interventions, or research on effective teaching. Zero training. My students are on a path to prison and I stand against their incarceration. Most teachers can’t because they don’t know how.

these tragedies result from poor candidate screening, insufficient training, lack of police force professionalization, inadequate and/or unenforced internal department policies, and inept, indifferent, or corrupt oversight that's how we know what police are really used for in many parts of the US

ACAB until we are all safe. Until then, no one is safe. Because we all know the good ones either quit or get forced out. And until that changes, ACAB.

Kinda like the disabled killing the disabled.

It's been behind the couch this whole time! :D

And lawsuits for medical malpractice capped at $250K assures no attorney will take a malpractice case

NYTimes ran a series of articles on fraud and abuse at other Acadia facilities thru out the US.Some claims involve death and suicide

95% of the claims are dismissed but during that time the $2200/day bill adds up.solitary confinement, overuse of pharmaceuticals,sedation for noncompliance and sexual assault unaddressed

Police are often very poorly screened and trained I’ve seen it too often Bad aptitude follows bad attitude When a gunfight requires an officer to discharge multiple rounds, he doesn’t know what he’s doing I’m not a cop, I was tactically trained for SpecOps and the pressures are similar enough

The nazis beat imprisoned and killed disabled people

Does not surprise me in the least.

this is why people hate & mistrust the cops and the diverse powers that NEVER hold them accountable - speaking for myself only

This is exactly what I mean. There is no reason to see someone who's non-verbal, non-speaking, or selectively mute as uncooperative or combative. It just doesn't make sense. I'm sorry this happened to you

Besides being abusive, it wastes tax money.

Of an add'l $334M $ Biden gave to police, more than $43M of it was for 178 local govts to support crisis intervention teams, deescalation training, + community policing strategies. He wanted to provide more in the budget, but Repubs didn't pass it. Have depts. not used the money as intended?

Cheaper to kill people with disabilities then help or treat them. Bad for profit...Shoot first, ask later. In Europa we are choked by the aggressiveness from US police. A minor traffic fault results in hand-coves...never seen in EU! Police EU just talks to you and gives a fine, most often warning.

And don’t forget those with mental illnesses!!! I worked in several areas where the local police had to go through training and we distributed home placards alerting LEOs that there were one or more individuals with a mental illness in the house.

👺👺👺people of Color!

Nice to know.

a disabled man was beaten and tasered by Phoenix Police based on a spurious accusation by a trespass suspect they'd been called to service There is little accountability, the Mayor continues to be silent, we pay out millions in settlements each year for this abuse www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff0u...

I agree, and I think it's important for everyone to understand that interacting with the police is dangerous and act accordingly. I also think it's really important to highlight who is at the most risk and specifically work to improve those outcomes

We need more PERT teams.

And prisons are replacing state hospitals.

Im just so sick of it the uk government is basically blaiming people like me for there incompetence even the media they had this old boomer on today comparing him having to take baths in a cast iron tub as somehow as bad as battling disability not the pedophile billionaires or tax dodger no it's me

I discovered I score in the low 20's on the Autism tests. Would have been nice to know in my 20's. Police never like me because I am quick to answer and the answers just drip with sarcasm. Which Police hate. Since then, if pulled over I keep my answers as short as possible. No problems now.

Maybe I should have said that right-funding the police is the correct answer and that involves refunding social agencies that help to eliminate the escalation into police confrontational situations! I'm better at revising my statements after some added thought time!

The police either hire sociopaths or turn them into sociopaths.

This was as is since decades. People only see Trump, but it’s the whole system which never was “free”. And it’ll remain being a pseudo democracy for whites after him. Tv will manage more emergencies and police series for hiding real status.

All metropolitan police departments should have specialized unarmed units trained to respond to episodes of mental distress where the greatest danger is not to the police or bystanders but the subject themselves

What a travesty.

It's not like they get a ton of regular police training. They sure as hell aren't getting in-depth training.

Police are fcking dumb. They can only beat up smart people to force them to comply because their directions are always illegal. And because smart people call put their bullshit, the cops get violent. Being Neurodivergent is fcking hard!

🤦‍♀️🤢

That sounds absolutely horrific. Good for you for doing something that might help others in your situation, really admirable ❤️

I think we all know who really needs to be locked away.

ACAB

Bright flashing lights, already nervous, commands - even if asked professionally - that don't make sense in the moment, and the response to them that may be misinterpreted by law enforcement. It's a scenario for a lot of escalating mistakes with escalating consequences.

I'm one of the people they'd have locked in one of those places. They used to lock up women as well for every reason under the sun. Lobotomies were big. "Bad actors" minimizes the cruelty of the institutions. I'm feeling my emotions rise, so I'm not engaging anymore. Have a good evening. 👍
