Another Disabled Person Harrassed by the Police!
I've been screaming about this for years and no one will listen. Do you know how painful it is to have someone stand/put pressure on a prosthetic? It is the worst pain imaginable! I cried watching this. Sad, when my ending thought was, "so glad he didn't die." This is abuse! The disabled have had too many murdered by the police. Brothers and sisters of BLM, we stand with you and hope you recognize we are all in this fight together.
