This violent police assault on Tyron McAlpin has made national and international news. Disability rights groups, the NAACP, the ACLU are all calling for charges against McAlpin to be dropped, yet Mayor Kate Gallego and all the Phoenix city councilmembers still remain silent. Beyond shameful.
Because we all know that the elected officials don't run the cities. The Cops now do. We have done nothing but watch the cops nationwide get stronger after 2020.
On the stand, Officer Kyle Sue admits to having no training how to communicate with people who are deaf/HOH. As McAlpin was arrested, the cops literally threaten his girlfriend, who could communicate with him, with arrest & were visibly confused how she was even able to talk to him (sign language).
