This is making the rounds, so I wanted to add that separating a disabled person from a mobility aid is like taking off a body part. Further, cops have a tendency to damage said mobility aids, which they definitely don’t reimburse for. These pictures are crueler than you think.

CW police brutality to disabled people
As we see calls for civil disobedience ramp up again, I want to remind folks that 50% of excessive force deaths in police custody are disabled people. There is a misapprehension that cops are hesitant to harm disabled folks. That is not true.

It used to be you could expect cops to just push you away in the chair. Yeah, they stopped that.
