Content Warning on this one. This is Tyron McAlpin, a deaf black man with cerebral palsy being attacked. A white guy from a store across the street made up a story and pointed out Tyron. Police without doing any investigation jump straight to violent escalation. (1/2)

A lot of people are talking about who's in office, a president doesn't have much to do with individual cases, but that could quickly change if a tyrant gets into office with a Congress and Supreme Court to back them up.

So "probable cause" is now "white guy points at black guy"? What a total crock of shit.

This is why police unions are voting for Trump and his promise of complete immunity. If he is president, the uncontrolled police violence will only escalate.

If a citizen goes up to a cop and physically attacks him it's called a crime and he would be jailed. If a cop goes up to a citizen and unlawfully attacks him it's called a policy violation and he is given a paid vacation. Who's the sovereign citizen?

"If McAlpin would've just told me he was deaf...." Reading that line made my blood boil 🤬

Officers arrest a man that is deaf and with a disability claiming he was resisting their verbal commands. The corruption runs deep with this one. Tyron McAlpin—a 34-year-old completely deaf man living with cerebral palsy—was walking home from a convenience store when he was suddenly intercepted by the Phoenix Police Department. ​Officers were responding to a 911 call regarding a minor disturbance across the street. A bystander mistakenly pointed out McAlpin, who had absolutely no involvement in the incident they were called out for. So yes they have the wrong man as the person they were called out for was white. ​Because McAlpin is deaf, he could not hear the verbal commands being shouted from the windows of the approaching police cruiser. Within seconds of arriving, officers exited the vehicle and immediately put hands on him. There was a struggle that ensued became McAlpin had no idea what was going on due to his condition. If the conduct from the officers was not bad enough during the struggle, the corruption continued. ​The subsequent police paperwork heavily distorted the reality of the encounter: ​Omission of Disabilities: In their official report, the responding officers completely omitted the fact that McAlpin was deaf and disabled. ​The "Stolen Phone" Falsehood: Officers claimed in their narrative that McAlpin was carrying a stolen phone. In reality, the phone belonged entirely to McAlpin. He had been using it immediately prior to the encounter to communicate via sign language on a video call with a woman that helps him. ​Survival Instinct vs. Aggression: The report claimed McAlpin took a "fighting stance." Defense attorneys emphasized that any physical struggle from McAlpin was a basic, defensive survival instinct from being suddenly and ambushed by strangers he could not hear. ​Instead of being recognized as a victim of a false accusation and the fact that he was the wrong guy, McAlpin was booked on felony charges of resisting arrest and aggravated assault on law enforcement. ​ Unable to afford a $6,500 cash bail, McAlpin spent nearly a month in a Maricopa County jail cell. Because jail staff failed to provide an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter, he was kept in near-total isolation, unable to communicate with staff, his family, or his defense team. ​Following the public release of the bodycam footage, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office officially dismissed all criminal charges against him. ​The internal police investigation resulted in mere 24-hour unpaid suspensions for the three officers involved, a move heavily criticized by civil rights advocates. Two tier justice strikes again! ​McAlpin's legal team filed a $3.5 million federal civil rights lawsuit against the City of Phoenix and the individual officers. The case remains active in federal court as both sides navigate discovery, highlighting the urgent need for systemic reform in how law enforcement interacts with disabled citizens. This case looks to continue in September of this year unless the city decides to settle. Keep in mind it's the tax payers that ultimately lose in a situation like this as tax money will be used to cover up for corrupt officers that basically attacked a disabled man.
